Ben Nye really can deliver to all mediums: from beauty in salons, bridal work, to stage, theatrical, special effects, and body makeup.

Andrew Velázquez

Makeup Artist and Educator

Through the years, I’ve used Ben Nye on all the shows I’ve designed and worked on from Cirque Du Soleil to the Houston Ballet. The colors read so much deeper and truer, with staying power. I can’t get over how pigmented everything is!
