The Makeup Museum is adding another beauty company to its roster of official sponsors -- Conair.
The Makeup Museum's debut exhibition is the immersive Pink Jungle: 1950s Makeup in America, and Conair made its debut as a company in 1959. Since then, Conair has obtained over 1,500 patents worldwide.
As one of the official sponsors, Conair will provide exclusive 1950s historical insight to the Makeup Museum around how its founder, Leandro P. Rizzuto, pioneered in-home products.
A Conair exhibit will feature a curated collection of artifacts from the company's earlier products including the Yellow Bird Pistol Grip Hair Dryer.
Conair will also provide historical family photographs showcasing a timeline around the company's evolution of key hair tools, which will be unveiled on Makeup Museum's Instagram channel. Photographs include Leandro P. Rizzuto holding the iconic Conair Yellow Bird Pistol Grip Hair Dryer, which revolutionized the professional hair industry, and never been seen before family pictures.
Sophia Wojczak, creative director, Leandro Limited and granddaughter of Leandro P. Rizzuto, comments, "My grandfather didn't just disrupt the industry, he created it. A true visionary, he saw the whitespace and created products that revolutionized the way we thought about hairstyling. Conair products, starting with the Yellow-Bird Pistol Grip Hair Dryer, empowered stylists to give their clients a superior style, and allowed consumers to recreate it in the convenience of their home."
Wojczak continues, "His legacy of providing consumers with state of the art technology with unparalleled quality lives on to this day with every product we create. Through our partnership with the Makeup Museum, I feel so blessed and humbled to be able to showcase this journey and evolution of our iconic YellowBird® Pistol Grip Hair Dryer to the next generation of styling tools."
Doreen Bloch, executive director of the Makeup Museum adds, "Conair has introduced cutting-edge beauty technologies to generations of beauty lovers and we are honored to be working with the Conair team to share this unique knowledge and perspective with our visitors."
The Makeup Museum's other official sponsors include trailblazing companies that were instrumental in shaping and defining beauty in the 1950's, such as Erno Laszlo, Alcone Company, and Givaudan.
