5 o'clock shadow... again

[Osiris]

Ok this vid is looooong overdue. But I had to get good enough at it to keep it under 10 minutes. Plus I'm a bit self conscious of my girly voice. <_<

The original topic that inspired this vid can be found here- https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,44526.0.html

So for those wondering how I achieve my roguish good looks -

You look like my uncle. 

[Osiris]

Nephew Nero... hehe

[Nero]

no, the uncle. well least when I was a kid and he was very young. you'd need some gray to look like him now.

I might try that...

[Osiris]

Sweet. If y'all try it post results.

[Nathan.]

If I try it and remember I'll definitely post results

[Silver]

Nice results, although I don't mess with makeup so I won't likely try it.

You could've stopped after doing the outside corners of your eyebrows though. The inner side and the eyeliner started to look kind of fake.

That's odd. I thought the inner part of the eyebrows was the finishing touch.  Your placement of the shadow was very good, Osiris.

In her book "Self-Made Man", Norah Vincent described using some kind of glue and finely chopped-up artificial hair to apply a 5 o'clock shadow. The effect was good enough even up close and personal.

That's awesome, I'm gonna see if I can find some makeup and give it a go

I know people use liquid latex and glitter/sparkles to do some body art in theater. Maybe liquid latex and hair sprinkes? :v

I think Osiris's lines are better than Norah Vincent's. His looked more natural, less Homer Simpson-like.

[Osiris]

Thanks for the feedback guys and gals.

I made it a point to show guys how to find the proper line for their shadow because it's easy to mess that up and can look really weird.

SilverFang: The inner eyebrow is tricky. I usually spend more time on it (blending, softening the edge and so forth) but I was on a time crunch so it wasn't perfect.

Nice vid. Good work on the lines, looks good.

Eyebrows are important, but often overlooked. The number of FTM's I've seen with female eyebrows boggles the mind - yet it's a dead give away. 

Lucky for me, I just stopped plucking and a few weeks later... BAM! Guybrows!
