Drag King Facial Hair Tutorial with Hugh Jindapants

Drag King Hugh Jindapants demonstrates how to create a top-notch beard and stubble using burnt cork, eyeliner, crepe hair, spirit gum and other makeup and tools of the trade.
Total elapsed time: 35 minutes
*Burn a wine cork--not synthetic--and outline beard (work into hairline for a seamless look)
*Use moist cotton swabs or make up wipes to clean up and define your design
*To thicken eyebrows, try eyeliner or burnt cork
*Liquid eyeliner over cork template provides dark background for crepe hair--also makes outline sharper and easier to follow with spirit gum
*To get rid of kinks caused by the braid, unravel the braid of crepe hair, run under hot water, and let dry completely (alternatively: try a flat iron)
*Trim hair finely into a sealable container
*Apply spirit gum to template (optional: dab gum with pinky finger to make tacky)
*Apply crepe hair in pinchfuls, holding container under to catch excess
*Repeat as necessary to fill in gaps
*Use a small pair of scissors to trim around the edges as well as any longer hairs, being careful not to cut your face (manscaping) don't forget the bottom of your chin for when you lift your head up
*Use a stipple sponge and grease paint (from a costume shop) for stubble
*Dip the sponge in the paint then tap on a piece of paper to clear any large chunks
*Apply sparingly to face and neck, experiment before applying crepe hair to see what works for you--if you're going to be on stage, make it more dramatic so that the audience can see from a distance
*Apply finishing powder to set the grease paint so it won't sweat/rub off
*Don "nice guy" fedora and you're set!

[@HiNinqi]

Yo this is so good. Thank u for sharing this quality info!!

[@kittenchaos5141]

Man, I have such a more rounded face and not clear jaw lines, but hey, I guess that's what makeup is for (at least to help a little). Anyways, this helped SO much with facial hair, as I have never done any make up before and am very very clueless. Thanks! I've also never thought to use burned cork! Cool and helpful!

[@cublove45]

Did you do contouring make up before doing this part or do you just have an awesome face for drag? Cause if so I am so Jelly!

[@keilaoliver1852]

Can drag king beards be used all day? Or just for a few hours for a show?

[@juliusfever9526]

In my experience, I've had a simple set of sideburns and a mustache last all day without touch-up. But as you get more elaborate, you're more likely to need to reapply. This depends on a few things--talking, smiling, and general emoting can make parts of the facial hair crack or peel, especially around the sides of the mouth. Sweat is also a huge factor. The sweatier you get from say, jumping around stage like a monkey hopped up on goofballs, the more likely you'll need to touch up your facial hair. The grease paint base serves as a good backup for if parts of your crepe hair start to flake off. This way you don't have any bald patches of bare skin showing through. Additionally, some folx try to fend off cracking facial hair by applying a light misting of hairspray over the finished product. I personally don't care for the hairspray technique because it makes me sticky. Hope this helps!

[@Xscilune]

@@juliusfever9526 Ditto on the hairspray, some people in Theatre used to put Vaseline in it , I tried it once....that was real special.

[@brookelynnnewberry1267]
