How to Apply a Fake Thin Mustache

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Erin on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to work on the application of facial hair. Now we are going to try our pencil thin mustache in our prepped area here that I have swabbed off with the alcohol wipe. What you want to do is cut you a little piece off of the hair like so. You're going to want to shred it apart, kind of mix it up . You can roll it around in a ball. Then what you're going to want to do is after you've rolled it around in a ball enough, then you can take your scissors just to give it flat edge. Take your scissor across here. You've got your flat edge here. Hold on to that. Take your tiny brush, synthetic brush, dip it into your spirit gum. Make sure you don't have too much on there. Since we're doing penciled in, we're going to do it right above the lip line right here. Very thin. Just wait for a minute. You can just kind of wave your hand over it just to let it get a little tacky. Also, you can wipe your brush off and kind of play with it a little bit just so you can tell if it's tacky or not. Yes, it is just a little bit right here. If it starts pulling up strings, that's how you know. It's getting there. You alright? You can feel that starting to pull a little bit. There you go. Once you do that, take your straight edge and kind of spread it out a little thin. If you need to go back and cut it again just to make it a little bit straighter, do that. Now, you're going to want to apply the hair right here. You can kind of use your scissors to spread it out or whatever tool you have in your other hand. If you want to use your end of your brush handle and just cut of that excess right there. There we go. You've got a little bit of the pencil thin right there. Now we have the hair on there."
