Werewolf Facial Hair and Crepe Hair

If you saw our most recent post, we spoke of what you can do with crepe hair; and here is another use for the product.  Hmm…a werewolf for Halloween.  The part that discusses the facial hair and crepe hair comes about 8 minutes or so into the video so you might need to wade through the first several minutes.  For more on costumes, stage makeup and other things related, visit us HERE

Fake Beards with Crepe Hair

Crepe hair?  Not easy to find.  Most all-season costume shops carry it, but rarely will you find it at one of thos seasonal Halloween shops. This video condenses the process into a few minutes, but you can see what you can achieve for a theatrical production or a Halloween party.  

In addition to soaking crepe hair and stretching it;  you can also stretch and steam iron it to get the same effect.  I can also be pulled apart without the straightening process if you want kinkier hair For more, visit us HERE

Making a Nose with Nose Putty

Nose Putty.The old standard in theater. It used to be relatiely soft.. ala the brand she is using; then later the manufactures hardened it and it needed to be kneaded to soften it a bit. Apparently some brands have softened it again. Careful about the softening though as it only continues to soften and never harden back up again. A caveat: She wore a couple of rings while she was doing this video, and if that putty get lodged into a setting on a ring, it might be quite difficult to remove. Oh yes, on the removal of the putty. It’s a sloppy job and might take a few minutes longer to get it off than it took to put it on. For more on stage makeup and costumes, CLICK HERE
