Makeup from September 9, 2015

eBenTrovovato-2015Sep09-01


 

A mature polar bear look dancing the line of crossing into Santa Claus, but I didn’t want to go there. My hair is currently buzzed and my beard is short cropped and I wanted to take advantage of it for a male pattern bald look.

The hair and beard are just white crepe wool. I think the beard came out particularly well, looking somewhat natural. This is especially of note because I could not find my spirit gum and was using Elmer’s School Glue. Horniness is the father of invention!

The makeup is relatively subtle. Just a foundation and then a few highlights to add some weight and age to my own features. There are really only three places I used any kind of shadow.

This was a very comfortable look to see in the mirror, it felt right and it went with my increasing weight. I wish I had more time with this. It’s always nice to step away for a while if you have the chance, then see it again in the mirror.

At a doctor’s appointment earlier this year when my beard was fuller my doctor said I would make a good Santa Claus. You can see the beard close to that time in my post from March 17th. Hopefully this will be a good predictor for my future!

It was also fun to play between naughty and nice with some looks and lighting. Who’s it gonna tonight, boy, Santa Claus or Polar Daddy?

As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback!

  1. Wow!!

    That’s incredible Santa!!

    I can’t imagine how you were feeling when you doctor said that. That would be an amazing experience to have first hand. Did he mean it as a compliment though or a warning?

    This is an incredible work man. Nice job!

    • Fully agree!

      I certainly hope you’re prepared with a santa suit. What kind of santa would you be without one!?

      Well, I guess you’d just be a regular old fat old white-bearded man.

  2. You are right, the beard does look very, very realistic. I really like the shot with a bit of a smile….you are still a handsome dude….just older! Old Kent/Baldgrandpa
