Not everyone is blessed with the gift of being able to grow luxurious facial hair. With a little black nail polish you can add your favorite style of soup strainer to a mirror and make your 'stached wishes come true.
You'll Need. . .
You'll Need. . .
- A mirror - pocket mirror is used here for a glorious pocket 'stache but you could use the same technique on a bathroom or whatever other mirror you'd like (just remember they're pretty permanent)
- Black nail polish (or another color if you'd like)
- Adhesive label larger than your mustache image
- An image of your favorite mustache style (a few examples are provided here)
- Scissors or an Exacto knife
- Select your mustache style and size your image appropriately for your mirror. I'm using a 4" compact mirror here, so the mustaches need to be smaller because the reflection of someone's face will be smaller. If you were using a larger mirror, you would want to make larger 'staches
- Print the image on your adhesive label
- Cut out the mustache portion to create a stencil
- Position the stencil on your mirror and stick it in place
- Apply nail polish in a few thin coats, letting each dry before applying the next
- Carefully remove the stencil and allow the 'stache to dry
- Gaze lovingly into the mirror and behold your newly mustachioed self
You need to get a friend to take an action shot.
