Ok so I know yall are busy so I wont ask but a couple of questions. My daughter is set on me going as a werewolf for Halloween but I'm not liking the cartoon mask within my budget. So I thought a prosthetic application would be a cheaper option with a higher quality look. First question is I have a full beard that I will not be shaving off so what are some pieces I can buy to get around that and still have a werewolf apperance? Next is I will be applying this myself with no additional help. So would it be ok to start the make-up on the piece before applying it? Or would the make-up get damaged during application? Last question is can those prosthetic piece be used more than once? Thanks for any info to my questions.

A lot depends on the quality of the prosthetics you buy.... but a nose piece and brow ridge with some fangs on your lower teeth can create a classic werewolf. Just mess up the hair real good....

Personally, I prefer painting prosthetics after they are applied to the face.
