Masks

We have both full and half-face ‘Phantom’ masks available in basic white.

Full mask $4.67 inc GST. Half mask $3.57 inc GST.

Moustaches Black only, come with stickered back in two types -

3 - Cut the crepe hair a bit longer than

desired length. Make sure that you have

enough hair to go from ear to ear for about

three rows and that the bottom row is the longest, each row being a little shorter than

the first to give a staggered effect.

4 - Dab a small area of the face with a thin coat of latex starting near the ear, press the

crepe hair onto it and work your way along

fairly close to the bottom of the jaw-line.

(see Figure 2) Place another line of hair just Fig 1 Fig 2 Fig 3

above so it overlaps the first to give the beard thickness and width. (See Figure 3).

5 - The moustache needs about one or two layers of crepe hair one row applied on top of Fig 4 Fig 5 Fig 6

the other (depending on how thick you want

it). Start from the edges of the upper lip in towards the nose following the natural,

downward growth. (see Figure 4 & Figure 5)

6 -Once latex is dry, trim off the excess hair to

desired length. (See Figure 6)

7 - You can use your fingers to gently ease the hair into shape and give the completed

beard a gentle combing.

Set it with hairspray if so desired.

8 - To remove the crepe beard, simply pick off

a corner of the latex foundation and gently

pull beard from face. Cleanse face with

warm water or make-up remover to remove any traces of latex.

This is a basic guideline. With a little

imagination and Mehron, you can create any style.

How To Construct

a Crepe Beard

If a beard is going to be worn for any length of time, it is a good idea to construct

it on top of a latex foundation. Latex

foundations can be constructed either on the performers face or on a plaster life

mask.

Materials

• Liquid latex (clear or skin-tone)

• Crepe hair

• Scissors (clean and sharp)

• Comb

• Hair dryer

1- Apply 4-5 thin coats of latex foundation on the area of the face you require the

crepe hair, allow to dry between coats.

(see Figure 1)

2 - Straighten crepe hair by loosening braid

and wetting the hair. Stretch the unbraided

strand completely straight (or to the desired

waviness) and allow to dry. Hair can be force-dried with a blow dryer or an iron set

to ‘wool’. (It’s a good idea to cover it with

a clean, cotton handkerchief before ironing).
