The sad thing is, I was basically cheating. See, I normally use a fake mustache for my Dr. Forester costume, since my own is neither thick enough nor dark enough to match the wig. I couldn’t find the one I bought for this con, though, so I ended up using my own facial fuzz, bolstered by a generous layer of make up. It worked really well, even if it was A TOTAL LIE.

(Historical Notes: I eventually stopped using the fake mustache in favor of this strategy, because spirit gum is just the worst.  Unfortunately, I got so use to it that this actually HAS more or less become my regular look… except the non-mascara’d ‘stash is WAAAAY sketchier than the Dr. F version.  I should not be as okay with that as I am, and that’s something that WILL come up again later.)
