KRYOLAN is a specialized manufacturer of professional make-up, serving theater, film, and television around the globe for more than 50 years. KRYOLAN provides a range of more than 14,000 items, which covers every need any professional make-up artist may have, including fashion, theatrical, and character make-up; face body paint; and special effects make-up and lab supplies.

The true transformative powers of make-up become even more apparent when using character make-up techniques. Aspects of age, race, gender, and various states of health can all be manipulated with theatrical and special effects make-up. Whether playing with highlights and shading to create the illusion of 3 dimensional changes or whether actually altering the planes of the face with putties, waxes, or prosthetic pieces KRYOLAN provides everything you need to achieve a stunning transformation.

Adhesives can be used to secure special effects pieces such as prosthetics, to aid in blocking out eyebrows, to attach hairpieces (both wigs and facial hair), or to add an extra touch to beauty make-up in the form of body jewels or false eyelashes.
It is VERY IMPORTANT when using adhesives to use those designed specifically for use on human skin and to be familiar with the basic properties of each adhesive “family”. It is EQUALLY IMPORTANT to know the proper remover or solvent for your chosen adhesive as not all solvents will remove all adhesives.
