Dan was born to very creative, talented parents.  His mother was a portrait artist who also designed artwork for album covers in the seventies.  She created album cover art for stars like Eddie Arnolds, Buck Owens, and Elvis.  Speaking of Elvis, Dan’s mom had a real soft spot for him – so she married a man who looked and sounded just like Elvis.  Dan’s father, Ronnie White, had the very first Elvis tribute show.  He so closely resembled Elvis his act eventually opened for superstars like Tina Turner.  At age 16, Dan found himself playing drums onstage with his dad in Las Vegas.  That was only the beginning of a long career in show business.

Dan Read Cosmetics Introduces First Make-Up for HDTV

Celebrity Make-Up Designer

A Modern Day “Max Factor”

Hollywood, CA, January, 2008: When Dan Read, President of the successful line of “makeup for the stars” that carries his name, first saw High Definition Television (HDTV), his immediate thought was “we’re in trouble!”

Of course, Dan was thinking about the spectacular impact that HDTV would have on television viewers and the brilliance and unprecedented clarity of a TV picture that would reveal the old standard make-up flaws that were never revealed on regular TV. Something had to be done fast. The technology of television had finally caught up with the art of makeup.
Dan Read Cosmetics (DRC) to the rescue! Dan is referred to as “the modern day Max Factor”, and for good reason. His “Silver Screen Series” is innovative and preferred by many of Hollywood ’s brightest stars. DRC’s new line is not only HDTV-ready; it is also an Organic product line that is one of the first to use an organic preservative. The product line is paraben-free. No animal testing.

Dan says he’s the only animal this makeup is tested on! Virtually humidity-proof, this makeup can be used without powder! No more fear of HD camera’s revealing mismatched color or facial flaws.

Dan Read ’s makeup line is perfect for those who suffer from rosacea. This totally effective product line is not only a favorite of the stars but rapidly becoming a mainstay makeup for women, and even men, of every color and all ages. Look for Dan Read Cosmetics on QVC sometime in 2008. Watch for Dan Read and Team DRC coming to a city near you or visit on line at www.DanReadCosmetics.com or call Toll-Free 877-DANREAD.

I love ‘niche’ lines. These are lines that are small companies that typically specialize in several areas. I find that most of my stash is from niche lines – I love to support the independents, and I find that the quality and the amazing customer service just can’t be beat. Here are my top ten niche lines, and my favorite product from each.

1. Dan Read Cosmetics

Dan Read makes the best foundation there is, period. I first discovered this foundation about four years ago, and I wrote a review of it for Emakemeup. You can read the full review here.

The foundation ($31.00) was developed for TV and film, and it’s amazing – perfect colors, so easy to apply, and it truly lasts all day. This is my go-to foundation for any special occasion, or for any day that I want to look flawless for the entire day without fail. I think everyone needs a pot of this fabulous foundation in their arsenal. I have purchased and repurchased this foundation a ton of times – I will never be without it. They have a new version out that has shimmer, I can’t wait to try it. READ MORE
