We had much fun creating a werewolf look for Fugesto last night.
I added the nose with spirit gum, then hair for eyebrows and on
the sides of his face. I painted his face brown and black to blend
in with the prosthetic nose.
We found some rubber fingers with claws that fit over
the fingers (adult size). I cut an inch off the length of
each finger, so they would fit Fuegesto's fingers. Next
we took a pair of gloves and cut the tips of the fingers
so the claws would show when he put the gloves on.
The gloves held the fingers in place, while keeping his
hands warm. Everywhere Fugesto went, he received
compliments on how scary and real he looked.
When we arrived home and began taking the makeup off of his face,
we encountered a little difficulty removing the fake hair and nose
which were held on with spirit gum. I first tried removing the gum
with q-tips and vitamin E cream, gently going over the glued
areas. That worked fairly well, but was a slow process. The
eyebrows were really stuck. We tried oil (cooking oil), dipping
q-tips in the oil, applying extra amounts on top of the glued area. That
worked great! Fugesto did not enjoy the 45 minutes it took
to remove all the makeup saying next year he'll wear only a mask!
Hint: Use cooking oil or olive oil to remove spirit gum on prosthetics
to save time!
