Applying Brown Makeup for a Werewolf Costume

Video Transcript

"Hello! I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here today to show you how to put together a werewolf costume. Alright, we're ready to move on for our makeup. The first makeup we're going to be this dark brown pigment. We're going to take this and put it on cylindrical sponge and we're going to start applying it to our volunteer's face here. Apply just in dabbing motions. It does not have to be perfectly solid, but you should not be able to readily see the skin underneath. Try to get a semi mostly uniform layer. Guys, if you're preparing to be a werewolf, it also helps if you can go a day or two without shaving. If you can get away with that with you employer, it's going to make this even easier because then the stubble is going to show through a little bit. That'll just add to the effect. Also, if you can hold off that haircut until November 1st, that'll be even more helpful because again, your hair can go a little wild up on top. Point being, you're already going to be well on your way to be wolf man before I even apply this. We're going to apply this base layer of brown makeup all over the face. This is the canvas on which we're going to build everything on top of. All of the other colors are going to come from this, so make sure to take your time and then all of the exposed skin on the face is covered with the brown makeup above the chin and beneath the forehead. We're just going to be doing this with dabbing motions. As soon as the makeup starts getting lighter, it's time to go back and get some more brown makeup. Definitely use it judiciously. This is the most time we're going to be using this color at all is going to be right here at the beginning."
