Facial Hair

Facial Hair- Crepe hair application1. Apply stage makeup first

2. Before doing anything else, use a makeup chart to plan where you are going to put the hair; this is especially important if you are using it alongside other makeup effects. One important thing to keep in mind (which many beginners forget) is the bone structure beneath the skin. This is important if the hair is going on the face; it's not as vital in other areas, but it's still good to keep in mind.

3. Once you have figured out where the hair goes, you have two options for sticking the hair to the skin: liquid latex or spirit gum. Whichever you choose, apply a thin layer to the area. Spirut Gum is most effective.

4. Cut a straight bundled edge of crepe hair, hold between forefinger and thumb. Squeeze and roll fingers against each other to "fan" out creped hair. Then apply in small 1/2 sections or smaller starting with under the chin facing forward(towards the mirror). Place only the tip of the spread cut edges.

5. Start with upper chin and continue to lay hair down towards floor and continue under chin until desired effect and work up into sideburns if needed

6. Continue onto the mustache . outer sides of mustache need to face a a 45 degree angle facing down, then proceed to the nasolabial cleft (the divot underneath nose cartilage) place hair to go directly down.

7. Cut into desired shape, style.
