I have found that green floral wire works just fine for this. Cut a piece of wire long enough to go all around the ear, and shape it to the victim...er, actor's ear. I twist the extra wire together at the bottom and put a bit of black gaff on it to protect the neck. Then tape the mic wire to the top of the loop with a bit more gaff, and put it on the actor. Depending on how far down the cheek you want to run the mic, use medical tape to affix it to the actor's face. Then send the actor to makeup.
