I can't believe I'm doing this but, to quote Ke$ha "I like your beard"
Facial hair is one of the most challenging things I have done so far. It is tedious work that gets EVERYWHERE. There are different types of hair you can buy (I used crepe wool hair) and I blended this hair (for like 8 hours) to come up with 3 different shades for a realistic beard.
After a long process of the stickiest skin glue ever (spirit gum) and cutting and laying fake hair onto my models face, voila! There's the beard.
Lookin' pretty manly & also a little like a hobo.
Then I gave that long homeless beard a nice little cut for a more sophisticated look.
Uhh.. or rock band groupie look. Whichever you prefer to call it.
Unlike laying your own beards, pre-made pieces are super fast & very easy. If your budget can handle it, a pre-made piece is the way to go. Not only will it save time, but it will also help for continuity if needed in a film.
Anyone for a mustache ride?
I chose this picture because you can see me taking the photo & my instuctor Tracy in the glasses reflection. How cute!
