Abstract
A face mask component for ears, mouth and chin area and eye area, are formed by three dimensional graphic printing using natural skin tones, shadows and shading, die cut from card stock, with mechanisms formed also of the card stock for holding the same onto a wearer's head. In the embodiment for disguising the ears, a downwardly open slot is formed for sliding over the cartilage holding the actual wearer's ear to his/her head; in the embodiment for a mouth and chin disguise component, a pair of inwardly directed tips, also formed from the card stock holds the same to the nose of the wearer; and in the embodiment for disguising the eye segment of the head, the component is provided with a pair of arms, like the arms of glasses, for holding the same to the temples of the head and over the ears.
