Common questions
How do you keep a fake mustache on all night?
Clean the skin first (no moisturizer), press for 30 seconds, and carry the adhesive for touch-ups. It loosens after eating, re-press in the bathroom.
What if the wig is itchy?
Wear a thin headband or bandana underneath. The barrier layer is the difference between wearing it all night and ripping it off by nine.
