Adhesive attachment of costume face coverings presents a specific approach to Halloween attire. This method involves using a bonding agent to affix a mask directly to the skin, differing from masks secured by straps or elastic. An instance of this would be applying a theatrical adhesive to attach a prosthetic nose or character-specific facial feature for a Halloween costume.
This method offers several advantages, primarily creating a more seamless and integrated look compared to traditional masks. It can enhance the realism of a costume and allow for more intricate designs that might be difficult to achieve with conventional fastening methods. Historically, theatrical makeup and prosthetics have relied on adhesives to create believable character transformations, influencing the adoption of similar techniques for celebratory costumes.
