Lizard Facial Prosthetic

Apply to the skin with Spirit Gum/Mastic (not included).

The prosthetic is slip cast latex. It is of uniform thickness. Only the edge is glued where it sits flat to the skin. This edge is not feathered but it can be concealed using latex or a combination of latex and thickener. Normal spirit gum is suitable to apply the prosthetic, and any water-based face paint, or even alcohol based can be used to paint it. If the prosthetic is to be used under hot stage lighting or in conditions where a grease paint is preferred, use oil based cream make up after the latex has been coated with caster sealer, alternatively use rubber mask grease paint which is specially formulated with extra oil added to it. It is much easier to pre-paint the prosthetic prior to fitting. The prosthetic can be re-used multiple times. It may be necessary to trim the edge to fit. It can be cleaned with gum removers and/or soap and warm water.

This application is uncoloured and colours in images are acheived with water based makeup and fixative.

Product Description

Aradani Studios elf ears are considered by many as the best costume prosthetics in the world. These are hand-crafted in our home studio by the artists of Aradani with attention to detail and quality.

Not only do we hand make and inspect each set of ears, we try to use the highest quality materials we can find. Often on the road we are told our ears last for years of use, with some people coming back with the same ears after 6-7 years of wearing them!  You can attach these ears with spirit gum or liquid latex (personally we recommend spirit gum). The seam lines can be blended with latex or hidden with the use of an ear cuff as shown in the picture.

Customer note: Painted stock are hand painted inhouse by Of Science & Swords staff. We can attempt to match your skin tone if you are able to provide a side shot of your head on the selection of the most appropriate skin tone from the drop down. Alternatively, if you want custom colouration, please leave a message whilst placing your order and we will be in touch.

Design: Paul and Michael Bielaczyc

These are handcrafted in our home studio, by the artists of Aradani, with attention to detail and quality. 

Aradani Studios was founded in 2002 by the Bielaczyc siblings, Michael, Paul and Sara. Their original intention was to work at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival as a part-time endeavor, a way for them to spend time together and have some fun selling artwork. So many people were interested in Paul's elven costume, particularly the pointed ears, that the they decided that they would add elf ears to the business. The following weekend, the Bielaczyc's began what Aradani Studios is best known for: hand-painting elf ears to blend in naturally with people's skin tone.

What began as a once a year activity for the brothers expanded in 2003 to include three Renaissance festivals and multiple conventions around the country. During this time, Aradani Studios carried a variety of other brands, but didn't manufacture any of their own products. However, with customers requesting custom prosthetics at every show, they decided it was time to expand.

Starting early in 2005, they began sculpting and producing their own line of prosthetics, by 2007, over 90% of the products they sold were created in house, made and manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee. Customers all over the world have enjoyed Aradani elf ears and masks.

Aside from latex prosthetics and jewelry, Michael and Paul Bielaczyc are acclaimed fantasy artists, winning awards all over the country and working for companies such as Dragonlance and Apex Digest. Their work can be seen in shows across the Southeast and various publications.

About Aradani's business practices:

We strive to bring the best quality costuming to our customers. We also try our best to have most things made in the United States (or if possible in fair trade commerce). 80% of our products are made in the U.S. , and 100% of the products we make are designed, built and manufactured here in the U.S.A. by workers who are paid a fair wage.

This Water Based Make Up from Epic Effect belongs to a series of deep pigmented, high quality colours. The colours are excellent for face painting and provide great coverage, even on foam latex appliances. The colours can be used on all parts of the body; it will even cover hair, beards and mustaches. The Epic Effect Water Based Make-Up will stay on the skin until you wash it off with soap and water. For even more staying power, seal the makeup with Epic Effect Setting Spray. There is a lot of pigment in Epic Effect colours so use them sparingly. This make-up dries matt so there is no need to powder.

1. Use a slightly damp sponge or brush to apply the deep pigmented colors to the skin.
2. Create the finishing highlights and details with a brush.
3. Water Based Make Up can also be used to color hair, that is not bleached or dyed in advance.
4. Wash of the Water based Make Up with soap and warm water.

Safely attach prosthetics to your face and skin.

Epic Effects Mastix Spirit Gum is a non-toxic adhesive for applying latex prosthetics and hair to skin. The gum is almost invisible once dried, improving the look of prosthetics. Mastix Spirit Gum is safe to use on children, but should be kept out of reach and applied only with adult supervision. The glue comes in a 12 ml bottle with screw-on lid. Inside the lid, the bottle is suited with a tiny brush helping the user apply the glue effectively.

Directions for use:

• Clean the skin and the prosthetic with Mastix Spirit Gum Remover.
• Apply a thin layer of glue to your prosthetic with an applicator. Let it dry completely until clear and repeat with a second layer.\
• Apply the prosthetic in the desired position and hold in place for ten seconds.

Removal:

Gently peel the prosthetic away from the skin starting at one corner, using the Mastix Spirit Gum Remover to dissolve the glue and to clean the skin. Then clean your skin and the prosthetic with mild soap and warm water.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Epic Effect Mastix Spirit Gum should not be used around the eyes or on mucous membranes like the lips, eyelids or on private areas. Keep away from open flames, as this product is highly flammable.

Safely remove spirit gum without damaging your skin or prosthetics.
