Facial Taping
You will need a wig cap and Our Fantasygirl Transformation Tape. The key is that the tape is strong, see thru and has an elastic quality.
Clean your forehead thoroughly using a toner or astringent cleaner. The tape must be applied to clean dry skin. This means no makeup or moisturizer either.
Put on the wig cap, making sure all your hair is tucked inside the wig cap. The front edge of the cap should rest on your forehead 2-3 inches above your eyebrows.
Cut two 8 inch pieces of tape. Attach each piece above the eyebrows at the highest point of where the arch is desired. Usually in the center is best. Press down on the tape firmly to secure it to the skin. Hold the tape straight up from the forehead, then angle it slightly to the opposite side of the head.
You should now see a good arch developed by your pulling on the tape and angling it to the other side of the head. Don't worry about the tape feeling to tight, it will relax a little after a few moments and be more comfortable. Now firmly pull the tape back across your head to the other side, securing the tape to the wig cap. Do the same procedure with the other piece of tape on the other eyebrow. The two strips of tape should create an X across the top of the head.
Practice Practice. Don't expect to get it perfect on your first attempt.
You can then apply foundation and powder over the tape to conceal it. And/or utilize bangs of a wig to cover.
I suggest trimming or plucking your brows slightly to remove long or unruly hairs whether you use tape or not.
Face Lift Taping
To help reduce lines on the face caused by age, frowns, smiles, smoking, there is a method of taping that works quite well. It also helps for those of us with weight issues.
Measure from just under one ear, around the rear of your head to the same spot on the other ear.
Cut 2 strips of Transformation Tape in the length measurement taken earlier.
Place strips to the side. Clean the skin area with rubbing alcohol.
Place your 2 index fingers in front of your ears and push the skin backward and upward. Looking in a mirror you will see where the proper "lift" should be, this is where you will attach the tape.
Now push and lift the skin on one side as explained above, secure the tape to this spot. Pull the tape up and over your wig capand firmly press on it to secure it to the wig cap.Do the same for the other side of the face.
Your wig and maybe a little foundation on the ends of the tape will hide any evidence.
This procedure takes a lot of practice to get right….keep trying, it works!! I have been using it for years on many of my clients.
