The glue I used is eyelash glue that was shipped with the wigs.
I can pull the wigs off easily when I need to readjust without any problems on the TPE.
Do not use super glue! The glue I used is really weak.
Any other "weak" glue will do great.
You will more than likely get glue with the wigs.
yup a few more for now. Expect to see many from me as time goes on. My current project is blending the wigs into the skin with foundation. Hopefully they will look better over time. I started blending but lots of work to go...EBmoist wrote:do you have more photos of the eyebrow wigs? Never heard of them before--- The things you learn here! gosh

Re: Eyebrows
in the powder and give a quick wipe. Two per brow. Very quick for that level of realism.
Re: Eyebrows
Supplies used for the hair punching: TOTAL COST FOR ALLOT OF MATERIALS = $30 and some of your time. (ITS WORTH IT)
HAIR: (it comes in allot of different colors and is very fine and soft to the touch! the most expensive one is $15.)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NGZHWUC/re ... =UTF8&th=1
PUNCHING TOOL: (Comes in a multipack kit for only $9)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V5 ... UTF8&psc=1
More expensive (yet more precise version): $38
https://www.brickintheyard.com/products/needles
SCISSORS: (Any will do) I used $5 nail scissors. (The slight curve as well as the short blades allows for more fine tune trimming of angles and individual hairs.)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CF ... =UTF8&th=1
Videos to watch: (The key to it all is the way you hold the hair while pushing it into the silicone as well as the angle of the needle as it goes into the target material. The angle of the needle decides what direction the hair leans out of the skin when its inserted and the way you hold the hair is what makes grabbing the hairs easier.

USE THE SMALLEST NEEDLE FOR BROWS AND FINE DETAIL WORK.
THIN EYEBROWS GUIDE:
Create fewer hairs in thin Zone.
Thinner hair zones are Created with few strokes/punches in the thin zone areas with your preferred application tools and medium.
Create more hairs in thicker Zone.
Thicker hair zones are Created with more strokes/punches in the thicker zone areas with your preferred application tools and medium.
.
*If punching hairs try to work with the bend of the face/brow and angle your needle so that the hair goes into the skin at such an angle that it lays against the face instead of sticking straight up. (Be careful not to punch back through the eyebrow though.)

hmm, well the test piece in the picture (face portion above) was cast in ecoflex 30 silicone. Its allot denser than tpe I've noticed the TPE is squishy and softer by far. And the only TPE I have access to at the moment is a sample piece. I just did a quick test on that and the hair stayed when I brushed my finger over it both in full strands and trimmed up. I went in at an angle as I did it. Then I was able to pull it out with my fingers afterwards. I guess it depends on the amount of force etc put on them.Also how deep you seat the hairs. Did you use felting needles or the punching needles sold by FX shops? I haven't used those yet but I plan on buying some. They seem to offer even more control and precision placement of hairs than the felting needles do as the tip is the grab point.

Re: Eyebrows
i see Yea i ordered a couple pair of those to test out too but i didn't order the cardani ones i order some off amazon. They look alright but i rubbed my finger across the wigs to test the softness and the wig hair i used to punch with was softer to the touch imo. i don't have the head i ordered yet to see how they will look. Out of curiosity what kind of glue do you use? is it TPE safe? And can the lace be trimmed away on the edges so its not as noticeable or will that destroy the brows? Are the brows reglue-able/reusable? the ones i ordered came with glue but as they are made for humans idk if the glue is TPE safe.CrazyCajun wrote:I actually used a very small sewing needle that I cut and made a punching needle with. I was pushing the hairs in about 1". I went in at a pretty good angle as I wanted to duplicate eyebrows. But I just could not get them to the point where I felt that they would last very long. I have done it in silicone and it worked fairly well, even with a home made needle! But TPE just doesn't seem to be able to hold onto it like silicone does! Or at least I haven't had any luck with it! So I elected to do the next best thing and use eyebrow wigs, I have never looked back! Then the next best solution after that is BodyColor!
Here are the wigs i ordered. They must come from the UK as they came by royal mail and took almost a month to get to the usa:

i ordered the 12 and 16.
Heres a pic of what they look like " RL"/delivered. (looks like some of the hairs are already come out.

Re: Eyebrows
Nice! Thanks for the feedback!CrazyCajun wrote:Mine aren't Cardani either, mine came from eyebrowz.com but, if I ever bought more, they would be Cardani. You can trim them as you like. I originally used the glue that came with them, but it would only hold for a short time. I ended up using a gel super glue. Now they are permanent, which is what I wanted.
Re: Eyebrows
Here's my information and method, I was pleased with the results. But please excuse Lettie's eyelashes , I'm waiting for the set of lids from MF (I'm on his waiting list) so poor Lettie is having to put up with bad ones just now.
By the way, these transfers are between a Dollar to 10 Dollars on eBay for 12 pairs! ( I got mine for a dollar!)
Regards,
VB
First Step: clean away existing make-up and eyebrow power/pencil using baby oil on a tissue. Then cut out a pair of the brow transfers slightly biggger than the transfers but in the general shape - you can then place them on her face to see roughly where to put them.
Note that in this shot the transfers are transfer side up. When applying them, reverse them and put them transfer side down. I used the scissors to line up the thick edge of the transfer brow with the side of Lettie’s nose.
Dip a cotton pad or tissue in warm water (I used a tissue as you can shape it easier to cover her whole eyebrow) Having put the transfer in place (transfer side touching her face) place the warm water tissue over the whole of the eyelash transfer. If you don’t cover the whole eyelash, the eyelash transfer can break where is isn’t getting damp. Leave for around a minute. Carefully remove the tissue and very carefully lift the transfer backing away, taking care to do it slowly so as not to damage the eyebrow. Dab the brow with a dry tissue gently. That’s one done. Repeat for the other brow, I found that by applying some gentle pressure to the tissue when covering the brow transfer, on the second one, the transfer was easier to stick to her head and the backing simply came away. Final look. … and the look once Lettie's make-up was back on. Very happy with these compared to my effort with makeup brow pencils and powder… and I still have plenty left for a Dollar!!
Cheers, VB
