From color correcting to contouring, this makeup guru knows how to put his best face forward - and he's using some popular Mehron products to do it! Live streaming Monday's, Wednesdays, and Fridays on Facebook, Steven shares his know-how, along with a huge helping of humor. Demonstrating on himself, Steven shows The Scene's fans how to work a Mehron Boy look. In the video below he teaches a co-producer how to camouflage and even out undertones with Mehron's ProColorRing Neutralizer . Then it's all about the #KardashianKontour.

25 years ago a theatrical phenomenon arrived on the New York scene. Blue Man Group debuted at the Astor Place Theatre in Manhattan and has remained there for two and a half decades. These three men painted in blue with an incredibly unique, mind-bending act quickly took the world by storm - and Mehron was with them from the very first performance. One of the coolest parts of the act is that they are blue! The iconic makeup is custom made by Mehron. Drawing upon our strong roots in theatre and performance, we developed an bold blue that stays in place throughout the show - from intense drum beating and marshmallow shooting to the renown PVC playing. So much goes into transforming into a Blue Man. The getting bald and blue transformation starts with skin prep to make sure the face is clean for application. Next, theatrical glue is applied to the face and neck, followed by the bald cap. To keep the cap in place, more glue is applied, then powder is brushed on top to help the makeup glide...

Last weekend the crowds blew into The Makeup Show Chicago. It was the show's biggest turnout in the windy city to date. Revel Fulton Market - a new location this year - was packed with thousands of industry pros looking to get their hands on the latest products and learn about the hottest trends. Mehron, along with leading artists, were on hand to share their know-how and favorite must haves. We were honored to have celebrity makeup artist James Vincent include Mehron's Metallic Powder among his favorite products during the show's blogger preview. As The Makeup Show's director of education and artistry, his nod means a lot. James wasn't the only artist spreading Mehron Love. We have to give a shout out to Orlando Santiago and Bethany Townes, both of whom featured our Celebré Pro HD Pressed Powder palettes in their pre-day classes. Mehron has always supported the artistic community, which includes seeking out and welcoming collaborative development and ideas. So we...

The presidential election wasn't the only vote being counted yesterday. It was also the last day to vote for your favorite 31 Days of Mehron Halloween artist. The people have spoken. A clear winner has been chosen. Congratulations to Melisa Morales Giraldo. Her mystical mermaid, which looked as if it had emerged from the dark depths of the ocean, was a clear fan favorite.  “My mermaid isn’t a common mermaid,” said Melisa. “It is real, it is a creature inspired of the black and deep ocean. A lonely creature fused by sea plants, this is not the cliché mermaid of your dreams.” To achieve a realistic look, Melisa relied on a host of popular Mehron special effects products: Paradise Makeup AQ (Pro Palette) Paradise AQ Glitter Paradise Makeup AQ Foam Applicator Liquid Latex Spirit Gum Wax Believe it or not, this talented artist didn’t start out studying makeup as a craft. While a business management student, she “happened” to pursue her artistic side. A family member who knew s...

To honor World Psoriasis Day three psoriatic disease bloggers agreed to have their bodies colorfully painted by Natalie Fletcher. Natalie, who won the first season of the Game Show Network's reality body painting show Skin Wars , knows first-hand the daily struggles of these bloggers and the other 125 million psoriasis suffers around the world. She also lives with the skin condition. So when it came time to create her amazing art, Natalie relied on Mehron's Paradise Makeup AQ . "It's my favorite and I feel it's the most gentle on the skin," said Natalie. "I even had my assistant mix all of my airbrush paint with Paradise." The bloggers were a bit nervous about whether they would have an adverse reaction to the paint, but Natalie reassured them that it was body safe and something she uses on her own psoriatic skin. They couldn't believe the product didn't irritate their psoriasis. Natalie teamed up with Novartis to illustrate the stories of th...
