Printing the lower part of one's face on the mask.

The Real ‘Face’ Mask

June 25, 2020

For people who are desperate to show their smile to the world, this Belgian businessman’s innovative technique may come handy.

Using a photo booth, software and a mobile phone app , Charles de Bellefroid is producing masks that have the lower half of the wearer’s features printed on them.

“We used our Cheesebox (photo booth) to capture the picture for customised masks,” he told Reuters.

He came up with the idea after Belgium’s COVID-19 lockdown sank his old firm, which organised events.

“A mask is impersonal. Here, having our face printed on it is more friendly, it’s more fun,” said Virginie Thys, a mother of two from Genval outside Brussels.

“Right now we are all wearing masks and now we know who we are dealing with. It is really a great idea.”

After placing an order, customers get a link for an app that lets them take a picture of their face and send it to the firm’s website, BNA reports.

The physical mask with the individual’s lower half of the face printed on it arrives by regular mail a few days later. It costs 19.99 euros ($22.60) and can be washed 8-10 times, Bellefroid said.
