The Facial Hair Theatrical hair or hair clippings are the most commonly used methods
for facial hair application.
Deciding to use either fake or real hair is completely up to you.
Both can achieve that realistic look, but make sure that what and how much you use make sense for your character.
To apply the hair, most use spirit gum or liquid latex as an adhesive.
Both may be acquired at most theatrical or costume merchandisers
(for example, Backstage, on 8th St. SE).
To remove the hair, try baby oil, makeup remover, or cold cream.
The Eyes
You may want to darken or thicken your eyebrows
(especially if you tweeze or wax them regularly).
Eye shadow or an eyebrow pencil is best.
The Body
Binding is a key element to giving a more masculine appearance.
Be careful to not bind TOO tight, as it can cause difficulty breathing.
Ace banadages are common to bind your breasts--4” or wider may help.
Many options are available--you can be creative! Socks, dildos, packies,
or even fruits have been used!

You may want to wear tight underware when packing--
nothing more embarassing than having it roll out on stage!
The Walk
Watch how men walk and take up space.
Men tend to use their shoulders and arms, and confident strong gestures.
Unless you are trying to be effeminate, stay more square and broad.
Walk with a longer stride--big shoes help for this effect
