oday, Joe Blasco remains a consultant to many celebrities and to other Make-up artists who find themselves in need of his knowledge.
After working for three years as head make-upartist for the Barney Miller Show, Blasco trained one of his contemporaries, Holly Bane, to assume his position as Make-up department head. During his training process he remembered his teaching days at the old Make-up school and decided in 1976 to create the Joe Blasco Make-up Center.
The first class began July 19, 1976 and the school was incorporated in January 1977. Because of his reputation in the industry, students flocked to Hollywood from around the world to attend classes taught by him, as well as by teachers instructed in Blasco’s exclusive techniques. The center rapidly became known as the finest school in the world for learning all aspects of make-upartistry. The Joe Blasco Make-upCenter today is the world’s largest and most highly-respected school for professional make-upartistry, often imitated but never equalled.
Blasco constantly wished to explore and utilize all areas of his expertise. He conquered the motion picture and television industries as a professional make-upartist and he created a School that became recognized around the world. He then set out to create a cosmetics firm that would manufacture products to satisfy all facets of make-upapplication.
From 1979 to 1983 Blasco worked in his own rapidly-growing cosmetics laboratory to perfect formulations and create new colors that would soon set the standard for the industry. In 1983 the Joe Blasco products were introduced to the professional market in Hollywood. Because of his reputation, these sensational new formulations became an, “Overnight” success, as hundreds of make-upartists quickly began to purchase the products. Today, Joe Blasco Cosmetics has retail outlets all over the world. The cosmetics line is continually updated and improved to ensure its users the perfect results they have become accustomed to achieving.
In 1991 after having created a Make-up artistry empire in Hollywood, he opened the Joe Blasco Make-up Center East in Orlando, Florida. Students

from all parts of the world travel to these two, "State-of-the-art" make-upcenters.
Keeping to himself and often going unrecognized for his achievements, Joe Blasco has single-handedly paved the way to success for thousands of aspiring Make-up artists. In 30 years Joe Blasco has achieved much in his chosen field. First he had a long and very successful career as a journeyman make-upartist in the film and television industries. He is known for his ability in applying all forms of make-upartistry. He has designed the faces of some of the most beautiful women in motion pictures and television, and has also created innovations in the realm of horror and monster characterization. He invented and perfected the concept of today’s modern Make-up school. He created a cosmetics company which encompassed and expanded beyond the scope of other cosmetics companies which preceded it, and modernized cosmetic formulations to satisfy today’s new and demanding requirements. Like the Max Factor Company, Joe Blasco’s color formulations, container styles, and other innovative ideas and advances have obviously been followed by many other companies. There are make-upartists who have started their own cosmetics companies; others have become known for pioneering special make-upeffects; some are known for their trend-setting beauty make-ups, others have become known for their mastery of all phases of make-upapplication; many other Make-up artists have started schools after Blasco; but there is only one make-upartist who has been successful in all of these areas . . . Joe Blasco. Now, through his cosmetics and his schools, he continues to share his knowledge with all who wish to learn.
The name Joe Blasco, the Joe Blasco Make-upTraining Centers and the Joe Blasco Cosmetics Company have become synonymous with the highest goals achievable in the field of cosmetic art and science.
