special effect - beard

beard, beard, beard~!

It is quite fun work to do. However, "making" a lace piece of moustache or beard is not very fun. lol

There are several ways to put beard on the face.

you can freely hand-apply with small amount of bundle of hairs.

This is easier and faster than making a lace pieces of beard.

on the other hand, making process is not an easy work and takes some times, but after you finish the pieces, applying time is much shorter than free hand-applying time.

mostly, for the TV and Film, makeup artists are using the lace pieces because we can use it as many time as we want if you maintain well. also, the shape of it is not change so it's a lot comfortable.

now let's compare both,

(free-hand apply)

(before)

(lace piece)

The left picture is 5 0'clock shadow. i used spounge and some brownish dark colour.

and the right side is the lace pieces. however, those pieces are not made for this specific model, so it's colour is not perfectly matching with the model. (darker)

however, applying time is much shorter than hand-applying time.
