Beards, moustaches, AND EYEBRoWS

There are really just two ways to apply hair to the face: by hand or by applying a knotted lace piece. Beards, moustaches, and eyebrows can easily be glued to the face as ready-made appliances but can be less comfortable than hand-laid hair sim­ply because the hair is knotted into a lace foun­dation that is then glued in place. While fronting lace—which is what most tied beard, moustache, and eyebrows are ventilated into—is very fine and lightweight, it has very little flexibility and might have the ability to hamper a performance
by inhibiting movement. If that is the case, hand-laid hair might be preferable. All considerations must be weighed around the performance. Even when using a lace beard piece, the edge should be hand laid to blend hair into a more real­istic look.
