Mehron Makeup

A world leader in performance makeup since 1927

Welcome to the world of makeup artistry! For over 95 years, Mehron Makeup has led the way with innovation and quality, providing artists around the globe with the finest variety of superior professional makeup products available today.

Mehron is an industry leading professional makeup company with a passion for inspiring personal creativity. Headquartered in New York, we are a manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of pro makeup products for special FX, stage & screen, education, cosplay, face & body painting, and pro-beauty markets. Our formulations adhere to the highest standards of safety, performance, and quality.

Mehron was founded by Mehron Melik in 1927 in New York City. As a purveyor of fine cosmetics for Broadway theatre, as well as the “moving pictures” of the time, Melik strategically based his company in the heart of New York City’s theatre district to service his growing clientele. Celebrating our 95th anniversary in 2022, our iconic brand has grown from a small Broadway storefront to a global leader supplying professional makeup artists in over 65 countries.
