Manhattan Wardrobe Supply-MWS Pro Beauty/245 W. 29th Street/NYC

MEHRON MAKEUP gave a jam packed party-in honor of its 80+ MADE IN THE USA years in the biz of providing professionals and now in the know consumers with the makeup and makeup tools needed for theatrical, stage, fashion shows, movies (including wow special effects), television's scary HD DEF---as well as everyday regular uses-including selfies...

Brand fans and many acclaimed makeup artists...turned out to offer up congrats, show off their skills or just hang-out with colleagues---culminating in a glam- fun runway show-featuring clothes provided by Abracadabra NYC, rrrrentalsny, and Alias Costume Rental (Halloween alert)...hair- wigs by mega-talented Daniel Koye-who also launched his own hair care line... and the FAB makeup in all its glory by MEHRON---applied by an artist/per decade.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS:

Martin Melik-on left (with a fav model)-i the son of Mehron's founder-and assumed control of the company back in 1971. We asked what his dad would say is the product he would most recognize-that stood the test of time. "NOTHING!" Every product and the number of offerings= completely different-the formulations, colors, textures... needs for new tech like 4K TVs. BONUS: Melik's business savvy-as we chatted about the professionals using MEHRON- and now in the know consumers who may have discovered the brand-because their fav entertainer uses the makeup on stage or from backstage at fashion shows like cool grrrl Charlotte Ronson. Growth at the right pace... 



Javier de la Rosa -multi-talented makeup artist for commercials, editorials, fashion shows, and TV---crafted a striking Future look-using Celebre Pro HD Foundation, Setting Powder, and notably Adgem Adhesive for crystals. Intense Pressed Pigments-ignite, purple heat, hot pink, carbon-eyes, Barrier Spray

Joe Delude II-glammed on the 80s for this show---but it probably best known for the amazing makeup he crafted for the musical WICKED. Current Broadway challenges include Dr. Zhivago---that had the cast looking healthy as Russian Aristocrats---and then pale/hungry-insta weight lost ---then back to full fed-all in one show...PLUS---fight scenes-gun shot wounds=DRAMA. The challenges of 4K TV----showing everything-is why makeup artists will always be needed...he also teaches and does film work...which often requires barely ANY makeup
