Mehron Melik founded Mehron Inc. in 1927 in a small New York City loft just off Broadway.  For years, he catered to the makeup needs of performers in theatre, vaudeville, burlesque, opera, ballet, and silent films.  After WWII began, Mehron devoted his talents and expertise to helping severely disfigured soldiers learn how to use makeup products to camouflage their scars, wounds and burns. Mehron traveled from New England to Virginia for nearly 2 years visiting Veterans’ hospitals. This selfless donation of his time and talent aided hundreds of returning servicemen in picking up the pieces of their lives after the war.

Mehron's extensive product line offers a broad choice of products, mediums, colors and shades.  Special"color correct" formulas are compounded especially for stage, educational theatre, television, video, Halloween, face-painting, clowning and photography.  Mehron's formulas are safe and gentle to the skin.  They meet the most stringent requirements for safety and efficacy while at the same time meeting and exceeding the demands and expectations of the consuming public.
