How to Make Sideburns 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, werewolves always have cases of monster sideburns, but these aren't like traditional mutton chops and they're not even like your Elvis sideburns. You're basically going to come in here on the side down to be right about a V shape like so. This is where the hairs kind of come. Comes all the way down and then it tapers down to a point. Now, this is going to be pretty strong black, especially at the front of it, the side closest to the nose. We're going to come down here and fill this in. Try to blend as you're going along to some degree. There's going to be some obvious hair pigmentation here. It's going to become obvious that this is hair coming down from his sideburn. But that said, something to keep in mind is while the front edge as a pretty strong contrast between the skin and hair, the back edge is going to be much more blended where the original hairs are going to come out. This where like more of the sideburn effect because here you're going to be able to see the individual hairs coming out over the skin. It's going to basically going to give a 3D perception for the makeup. Make sure not to have both sides be exactly the same. These are not Elvis sideburns. These are sideburns for a werewolf, meaning the hair will taper towards the back."
