Pioneering in the NEW AGE medium of
HIGH DEFINITION Film & Television Makeup

DRC History is full of exciting stories. When Dan Read, president of a successful cosmetics company providing “makeup for the stars” first heard talk of High Definition Television (HDTV) in 1994, he thought “we’re in trouble!” Of course, Dan was thinking about the impact High Definition would have on the brilliance and clarity of the HDTV picture. He immediately knew old makeup standards would reveal flaws and facial imperfections that were never before seen with standard TV resolutions.

It’s the make up for you

“I’m not a person who spends time putting on makeup. Dan said “ 5 minutes “ he was right. Get’s easier the more I do it. It lasts all day and looks great. Thanks Dan. If you need to be out in the public eye or you’re an entertainer, whatever the case maybe, it’s the make up for you.”

Anna Delfanti

Never used anything better!

“DAN my friend, I’ve been using your cosmetics for years now and got blown away today. I buried my cat today in 85 degree humid weather. I was sweating bullets, I mean sweat running down my cheeks! I just kept wiping my face and digging. An hour and a half later I looked in the mirror and it looked like I had fresh makeup on. I double checked with my husband to be sure I wasn’t imagining it, got his approval! I will always love your cosmetics! Never used anything better!”

It doesn’t come off around my glasses

“No need for a filter when wearing Dan Read cosmetics! It goes on effortlessly and looks more natural then any other makeup I’ve worn!
