Title: Facial hair
Post by: Syles81 on December 18, 2009, 12:03:08 AM
I know this is a stupid silly question but, I want to have facial hair, like a mustache or go-t (however you spell it) but I'm not taking anything to make myself grow any facial hair. Has anyone here ever worn like a fake mustache or drew a fake mustache on themselves to look like they have facial hair? I've drawn on my face just to see how it would look on me and I look more like a guy with facial hair and I like it, but I would never wear it out in case it didn't look real.

I'll take your facial hair. I actually don't want to be a hairy guy. Facial hair is fine but only if I transformed into a real guy. As much as I want to grow facial hair, if other people see me as a girl, it'll be kinda weird.

Look into theatrical makeup, especially the use of spirit gum and crepe hair.  Once you understand how to apply the crepe hair, substitute your own hair.

I did it for a friend one Halloween and no one knew she wasn't a guy. 

You could also look into making your own mustache and/or goatee.



Hugs and Love

I've used snippets of my own hair to created facial hair and I thought it looked awesome

but I never wear it out because I'm worried that it won't look real to others, or that it'll fall off :P

That's cool. Have you ever asked anyone's opinion if it looked real enough to wear out in public?

The only person who saw it was my sister, and she's on the camp of "if it wasn't born with a penis then it isn't a man" - she isn't helpful at all. I could look like Brad Pitt and she'd still tell me I looked like a woman.
