SOME COOL HISTORY:

Did you know that STEIN'S brand is still used today?! You'll see it a lot in professional makeup/costume shops, but it is a very old brand. Here's a brief history of this (still popular) makeup...

- M. Stein's theatrical makeup was very well known throughout New York City's Broadway district, and was even locally manufactured. A special makeup needed to be created to help give life to on-stage actors, as the gas stage lights "bleached out" their natural color. It worked, and Steins continued to create an array of makeups and supplies over time and gained a reputation of makeup supply leaders.

From there, Stein's was also there when cable TV presented similar challenges later on, now with bright electric studio lighting. Stein's has a long history of providing memorable characters for both stage and screen, and what an honor it would be to have a piece of makeup, stage, and TV history - from a time when our theatrical entertainment, as we know it, got its start in this country!
