IMATS,Jinny, Michael, Sindy and Halloween

Mehron Makeup and 24 Prince Restaurant in New York City, collaborated on a Michael Jackson themed Halloween in 2009. Mehron Makeup was there to supply the Makeup for guests who wanted to become Michael Jackson or people relevant to Michael Jackson's life for a Michael Jackson Themed Halloween Party, complete with contests and prizes. Attendees were costumed as Michael Jackson from various stages of his life, Elizabeth Taylor, Lisa Marie Presley, and others who shared the Michael Jackson Spotlight. With a combination of Mehron Halloween Makeup, Face and Body Painting Makeup, Professional Theatrical Makeup, along with Beauty Makeup from the ever expanding Mehron Beauty Makeup Collection guests at the Halloween 2009 Party at 24 Prince Restaurant became a part of the Michael Jackson Mystique.

At the Halloween 2009 Halloween 2009 Party at 24 Prince Restaurant, it was expected to see not only one, but many Michael Jackson's in attendance. At the June 2011 International Makeup Artist and Trade Show (IMATS) in Los Angles attended by Mehron Makeup and the traveling Mehron Makeup Exhibition Booth, Jinny was the Featured Makeup Artist for Mehron. As the Featured Artist demonstrating Face and Body Painting Makeup for the Makeup Industry Professionals who attend the L.A. IMATS, Jinny had just completed a Black and White Face and Body Painting on Model Sindy Perez with Paradise Makeup AQ by Mehron when Michael Jackson ( a Micheal Jackson impersonator) showed up at the Mehron Exhibition Booth to pose with Sindy Perez in her freshly painted black and white Body Painting by Jinny.



The Micheal Jackson look a like dressed in black and white, was the perfect match for the Black and White Body Painting just completed by Jinny with Paradise Makeup AQ for the guests of the IMATS LA Exhibition Hall. Running into Michael Jackson is expected during Halloween, but Jinny, Sindy and the Mehron Team who staff the traveling Mehron Exhibition Booth were all surprised to have a visit from Michael Jackson in June at the IMATS LA for Makeup Professionals. Although if Michael were still alive, it might really not be so surprising to see him at a Makeup Professionals Event like IMATS given his use of makeup throughout his career.

Body Painting at The Makeup Show New York 2010

Attendees on the second day of The Makeup Show New York 2010 witnessed a second Body Painting creation by Jinny Houle using Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ, the water activated cake makeup that is preferred by Body Painting Makeup Artists for its true consistent color pigmentation. Paradise Makeup AQ is a co-creation of Mehron and Jinny Houle, renowned Face Painting and Body Painting Makeup Artist. Sindy Perez was the model for Jinny Houle's second body painting creation at The Makeup Show New York 2010, and after completion was photographed in Times Square by Richard Esposito.

Photographer Richard Esposito decided on Times Square as the back drop for the second day of photographing Model Sindy Perez as body painted with Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ by Jinny Houle for its activity and color contrast. In 1927 Times Square was a significant area of New York during the founding of Mehron Makeup. In 1927 when Mehron was creating his Makeup by hand in a loft off Broadway, Times Square was becoming the new Theater District for Manhattan. Massive Play Houses were being constructed around Times Square as Mehron Makeup was becoming the Professional Theatrical Makeup of choice by the ever growing Theater Industry. Over eight decades later Times Square has changed but Mehron Makeup is still the true color, consistent Professional Theatrical Makeup that Performers on Broadway crave. Mehron has changed along with Times Square, not in quality, consistency or durability but in the diversity of Makeup Products that are now offered throughout their extensive lines of Body Painting Makeup, Face Painting Makeup, Clown Makeup, Beauty Makeup, Character Makeup, Fashion Makeup, FX Makeup, Extreme Beauty Makeup, Fantasy Makeup and the expanded line of Professional Theatrical Makeup.

In 1927, Mehron Melik might not ever have thought of his Makeup being on display in the midst of a busting Times Square and might have been amazed at how Mehron Makeup has grown in its diversity. In tribute to the Founder and the history of Mehron Makeup, the Mehron Blog presents the photographs of Sindy Perez in Mehron Makeup as applied by Jinny Houle and captured by the camera of Richard Esposito in the heart of Manhattan, the streets that Mehron walked as he introduced his Makeup to the world of Professional Performers.

With Broadway as a backdrop, Model Sindy Perez displays the Body Painting by Jinny Houle created with Paradise Makeup AQ and photographed by Richard Esposito.

Times Square has changed since 1927, Mehron Makeup is still made the old fashion way, with quality ingredients and dynamic colors.

Each of the two days of The Makeup Show New York, Jinny, President of Jinny Make-Up Artiste, Inc., created a Body Painting Masterpiece.
