Creating a Clown at Mehron

Spending a day at the New York Headquarters of Mehron, the first name in Clown Makeup, Emmy Award winning Photographer Richard Esposito captured the creation of the clown. Mehron Brand Support and Product Specialist Reyhan Piatt used Mehron Clown Makeup and her Makeup Skills to turn three everyday people into Clowns. She used Mehron exclusive Clown White to turn Cathy Mascis into a traditional White Face Clown, her niece Melissa Piatt had a base of Mehron Clown Pink applied to become an Auguste Clown, and her son, Deniz Piatt became a Hobo Clown for the day with selections from the Mehron Clown Makeup Collection. Under the watchful eye of Mehron President Marin Melik and captured by a behind the scenes camera of Mehron Marketing Director, Stephanie Ferreira, the offices of Mehron journeyed back to the beginning and was host to a day of Clowns.

To reintroduce the world to the amazing world of Mehron Clown Makeup, Photographer Richard Esposito spent the day at Mehron Headquarters in New York for a day of Photographing the Clowns. Makeup Artist Reyhan Piatt, who also happens to work at Mehron Headquarters as a Brand Support and Product Specialist turned Cathy Mascis into a White Face Clown beginning with the world renowned Mehron Clown White and capping it off with colors from the Mehron Clown Makeup Collection. Proving that anyone can be turned into a clown, Reyhan Piatt enlisted her son, Deniz Piatt to be a Hobo Clown with Mehron Clown Makeup, and her niece Melissa Piatt had the honors of being an Auguste Clown.

Mehron Makeup has been turning people into Clowns since 1927 starting with the formulation of the brightest, cleanest, whitest Clown White Makeup on earth.

The commitment to producing the best clown makeup on earth and carrying on the traditional established over eighty years ago is always on the mind of Martin Melik, President of Mehron and son of the Founder Mehron Melik who demanded excellence in all his Makeup Products.
