Shell Merkin Foam Latex Prosthetic

Seaward Bound

Look, not all sea creatures have mermaid tails, so if you can think of a more aesthetically appropriate way to hide your cove, we'd like to hear it. This Shell Merkin Foam Latex Prosthetic is meant to fit over the pubic area for fantasy character makeup, and can be used on other parts of the body as well. Rubber Wear foam latex prosthetics are carefully sculpted to provide lifelike, seamless effects that look, feel, and move like real skin. These high quality pieces are preferred by industry professionals and user-friendly enough for students and beginners! One size fits most.

NOTE: This particular prosthetic is recommended for professional use ONLY. Misuse of this prosthetic can result in serious injury or trauma.

Apply Prosthetics Like The Pros

For the best possible results with your Shell Merkin Foam Latex Prosthetic, apply skin safe adhesive to the piece up to the edges but NOT on the edge itself, and let the piece dry completely. Using a cotton swab or makeup sponge, apply adhesive to the skin, making sure the adhesive covers a larger surface area than the prosthetic will. Let dry.

Press and secure the CENTER of the prosthetic down first, laying the sides flat slowly and carefully as you go. Press edges firmly into the adhesive. If you like, you can dip a cotton swab in witch hazel and slowly roll the tip against the edges of the prosthetic. This will further blend it into the skin and dissolve the edges until it’s completely seamless.

Using a sponge, stipple more adhesive or liquid latex over the edges of the prosthetic. Let dry completely, then mist the entire area with sealing spray and paint with the makeup of your choice.
