Werewolf Makeup Tips

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 have a lot of our makeup work behind us, but we're not done yet. Next we're going to be take our light brown pigment. We're going to be putting this light brown pigment on areas that kind of come out towards the viewer. On the outside of the cheeks, we're going to blend in the light brown pigment. What does this do? The lighter colors help give more of a 3 dimensional effect. Again, wolves faces are angular. They're coming out a lot more. Their muscles are 2 to 3 times as long as the average human. Well, depending on who you know. But we're going to be putting these out here in the areas that we want to kind of come out more toward the viewer. I prefer putting on the dark brown makeup first. Some people don't like to put it on at all. I think it results more of a hodge-podge kind of checkerboard look, so I recommend putting on the dark brown makeup underneath first and then adding in. Essentially, what this is we're highlighting. The other place beyond the cheek that we want to make sure that we cover with the light brown makeup is the part of the face, which is going to come out most towards the viewer, which is the tip of the nose. Have pretty strong line of light brown down the middle of the nose and then work to blend in the sides. Again, if you're familiar with K9 anatomy, the nose is what's going to come out most towards the viewer, and we want to make sure is very well highlighted by the light brown makeup. This even more important than the chin area. We're going to extend this to other parts of the face, certain parts of the chin, and a couple areas more in the central forehead as well."
