About Graftobian
Graftobian
In 1978, Gene and Evelyn Coffman embarked on a daring and adventurous entrepreneurial voyage. As founders of Graftobian
Ltd., they sought to produce and sell the finest novelty masquerade makeup in the world. Their product, Disguise
Stix®, is now recognized as the leading face paint on the market. Although the face paint’s timelessly unique presentation,
on a stick, may look funny, the Stix are just so easy, safe and fun for little hands to play with and experiment.
In 1995, Eric, their son, and his wife Susan took over the helm of Graftobian so that Gene and Evie could retire. Soon after,
Graftobian grew by adding colored and glitter hair sprays. Then in 1997, Eric and Susan’s longtime friend, John Mazur,
added his unparalleled formulation skills when he partnered with Graftobian Ltd. to manufacture professional theatrical
and beauty makeup. A revised, expanded, and invigorated Graftobian Make-Up Company was born!
As Graftobian grows and changes to
offer a more diverse line of makeup,
two things must remain the same:
We will only offer top quality products,
and we will always take great
care of our customers! Evie and Gene
wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Mary Erickson is a nationally respected print, editorial, and fashion makeup artist with over 20
years of experience. Mary was instrumental in the development of Graftobian’s Hi-Def Glamour
Creme Palettes, Lip Color Palettes, Corrector Palette and our new Super Palettes (p.24). She
created the concept of offering our HD Pro Powders in kit friendly 37mm size pans for use in
custom multi-well compacts, which all professional makeup artists need for their work. Mary’s
understanding of today’s trends in professional makeup helps keep us on the cutting edge of Pro
cosmetic technology.
Suzanne Patterson is an Emmy Award®* winning makeup artist with decades of experience
in film and television production. She began working with Graftobian several years ago after
discovering GlamAire TM Airbrush Makeup, and its amazing ability to bring visual warmth and
extremely natural looking color to very pale skin tones in HDTV. Suzanne had a fundamental
influence on the development of our professional Hi-Def makeup products by classifying their
warm, cool, and neutral undertones. This makes Graftobian’s Hi-Def makeup line a tremendously
important component of any makeup artist’s kit, and always correct in true skin tone shades from
light to dark. Suzanne’s tireless work on our new “HD Makeup 101”DVD (p.58) has brought the
idea to reality! *Team Emmy, National Capital Region
