Kryolan Theatrical Cosmetics

Here at Wigtopia.co.uk we have been selling Kryolan Cosmetics for many years and these cosmetics compliment our huge range of wigs, as many people who purchase wigs also require professional cosmetics. Kryolan is a hugely recognisable brand and a preferred choice for many. For over 65 years, Kryolan Professional Make-up is a specialised manufacturer of professional make-up serving the theatre, film and television around the globe. Kryolan is also engaged to establish their products more towards the beauty sector for bridal makeovers, professional photo shoots, and glamour photography. Today Kryolan Professional Make-up delivers to customers in more than 80 countries on all continents of the world and is an acknowledged trademark for professional make-up artists worldwide. The name Kryolan and its other trademarks stand for professional competence, high product quality, exceptional diversity, professionalism, flexibility and tradition, making Kryolan the global brand for professional makeup artists. Testing cosmetics is a part of any cosmetic companies business, but as a brand Kryolan does not test its products on animals.

So who uses Kryolan Cosmetics?

Many of our customers are either drag performers, transvestites and professional artists in other forms of stage productions. All cross dressers or transvestites need convincing hair styles to compliment their ‘other image’ and Wigtopia is always pleased to be able to assist them. However they also need suitable makeup and in many cases some kind of beard cover combined with a thicker foundation to achieve their desired look. The Kryolan Cosmetics range have just the right makeup to cover this with the ‘W’ range of TV Paint sticks, which, when used correctly can give excellent foundation coverage. It’s therefore no wonder why Kryolan Cosmetics are the cosmetics of choice for all cross dressers. With their vibrant colours and longevity after application, the range of eye shadows and cake makeup stand out exceptionally well on stage and are used by drag performers worldwide for their effects and durability. At Wigtopia we have a special section dedicated to transvestites and try to offer them as much help and advice as possible when it come to hair and makeup. Although this section of our business is much smaller compared to helping women with their hair loss through Alopecia or Chemotherapy, we do get a huge amount of satisfaction when our help is appreciated by our transvestite customers.

We also have many customers who specialise in Indian or Asian makeovers for weddings, photo shoots and for Bollywood style productions. This area is defiantly growing in popularity and again the Kryolan range comes to the front with an array of foundations and colours to ideally suit these darker skin tones.

We also have many professional entertainers who also need the right cosmetics, many are involved with tribute bands or professional character impersonations and many also need a wig to complete their look. Amateur dramatics is also another area which we get asked to help out and we are able to offer advice of exact make up for a particular character or how to get the desired effect with aging, open wounds and other special effects. Although we are a wig supply company we do also sell fake blood and fake vomit and although we don’t show all of the items on our web site, we can get any item made by Kryolan.

So no matter what your requirements are, or the size of the production, from a one person act to a larger cast, we can assist with the right cosmetics for your event and supply wigs also.

New wigs from the Hairware Collection

Hairware has launched two new ranges of wigs. These are the ‘natural Collection’ and the ‘Californian Collection’ of wigs. This is a new and exciting range that features three constructions of wefted caps, monofilament caps and lace front wigs to create a range of stunning and wearable styles to suit all tastes and looks. These styles have been created to fill the wearer with maximum confidence, comfort and beauty. Made using the finest grade materials and feature cutting edge wig technology to create stunning looks to see and feel. There is also a special range of wigs that are a combination of synthetic and human hair fibres, which are heat resistant and can be styled with heated curlers and straightening irons just like one’s own natural hair. The image shows the Hairware laurel wig.

The soft lace front range: These feature a selection of beautiful styles on a cap that mimics a natural hairline right down to the wispy fine baby hairs that frame your face. These styles are custom made to have a graduated density giving the appearance of finer hair at the front that thickens towards the crown. This makes the wig style versatile and flexible as the wearer can part and style the wigs, just as you would naturally do with your own hair.

The heat resistant wigs: These offer the ultimate alternative to human hair wigs, as they can withstand temperatures of up to 180 degrees celcius. The fibre offers a flawless texture that is soft, easy to comb and brush and also maintains the movement and feel of human hair whilst still remaining lightweight to the wearer. This range features a number of different cap constructions, which have been made using a special blend of the finest synthetic fibres and human hair combined. These fibre can be heated, curled and straightened just like natural hair. The hair is made up of 70% heat resistant fibre and 30% human hair, so that it looks, feels and styles just like the real thing!

Four new wig styles from the Rene of Paris Collection

Rene of Paris have launched four new styles. These are Cassidy, an angled bob style, Olivia a short pixie style, Veronica a longer chin length bob style and Whitney, (shown) which is a medium length modern razor cut style. These four styles each have a standard size cap and are all 100% hand tied with a lace front. These wigs are designed to be lighter and more comfortable than the other wigs in the Rene of Paris range and all have a monofilament top as well.

100% Hand-Tied: This hand-tied wigs is constructed by carefully stitching each hair fiber strand by strand onto a mesh cap. This meticulous design produces a lighter more comfortable wig, with better ventilation than a machine made or a partial hand-tied wig. You will feel cool and comfortable with superior air circulation provided by the technologically advanced cap design.

Lace Front Construction: A delicate, durable lace front creates a completely seamless hairline. The wig can be styled in a variety of ways, even off the face, for a realistic, natural
look.

All these styles come in a selection of standard colours as well as some selected Hybrant rooted colours and grey, so there should be a colour to suit most people. With prices starting at £279.95 for the Olivia style, these wigs are not cheap, but the quality that you would expect from Rene of Paris is assured with these styles. We know that these wigs will
prove popular and fully expect that Rene of Paris will increase the range of hand tied wigs in the future.

World wig News (25)

Elizabeth Taylor’s Wig sells for $16,000 at auction: The iconic wig Elizabeth
Taylor wore in classic film Cleopatra has fetched $16,000 (£10,300) at an auction. Only three of these wigs were made for the actress, who died in March 2011, to play the young queen of Egypt in the 1963 movie. The wig, made of dark brown human hair and featuring gold coils, beads and braids, was expected to sell for $11,000 but bids soared to $16,000. “Cleopatra was filmed in Italy and Stanley Hall, who was a wigmaker to the stars, made all the wigs for it. Elizabeth Taylor’s character had tens of different hairstyles in the film and
there were three wigs for each style.”

Hair donations for charity: The ‘Locks of Love’ charity in the United states is growing in popularity due to the number of people who are donating their hair, so that it can be made into wigs to help others. In San Clemente Chelsea Howells’ ponytails sit on the counter after 39 was cut off. Chelsea now aged 20 was diagnosed with Rett syndrome at age 2, and just wanted to help others. Chelsea’s gift for growing hair quickly is a by-product of medications she takes for seizures, her mother said. Chelsea gets her hair clipped about every two years to donate to children with cancer. It’s “taking a negative and turning it into a positive,” as her mother puts it. This is her sixth hair-giving. She began
at age 10. In Harrogate Ellie Dormer, aged 12, cut off well over a foot of her light-brown locks and managed to raise more than £500 for the Little Princess Trust, an Organisation which provides real hair wigs for children who have lost their hair through cancer or alopecia. Well done to you both.
