A Broadway makeup shop from 1927
Mehron Melik founded the company in 1927 as a small family business in New York City. Its first customers were Broadway performers who needed makeup that would last through a show. Mehron now sells to makeup artists in more than 65 countries, covering stage, film, cosplay and Halloween work.
The About page says the company is "still headquartered in New York" and continues "to manufacture and sell" its cosmetics there. The address on every page of its site is Chestnut Ridge, NY.
Makeup is New York made; tools are not stated
The New York manufacturing statement covers the makeup itself: Paradise Makeup AQ water-activated paints and palettes, Colorset setting powder and Skin Prep Pro, which are the products we list. Mehron's blog also says its 1927 Liquid Vinyl Makeup is made in the USA.
Mehron's product pages list ingredients but give no country of origin, and the site says nothing about where its brushes, sponges and other tools are made. If you are buying an accessory rather than paint or powder, check the package.
