Joe Blasco Wiki Biography
Born and raised in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, Joe Blasco had several medical problems growing up. Those issues affected his appearances, so for him, being a makeup artist “was kind of a compensatory reaction. Instead of making myself different, I was able to make others different.”
He was awarded in 2004 with the “Distinguished Achievement Award” in the category makeup of the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT).
According to his biography, he has “helped to raise public awareness in the area of animal rights and was the first professional make-up manufacturer to fully implement cruelty-free products. He refused to allow testing on animals or processes that required the use of animal byproducts during formulation.”
