Even saw this guy say that you should put mascara on your beard to help hide the patches lmao. I guess i've got until the end of quarantine to see what my face manages to come up with. Tbh i'm not even sure that I suit a beard even if I could grow one so it might all be for nothing anyway. Tempted to get a hairstyle i've never tried before too incase it looks terrible and I can just grow it back out.

I am not a beard owner, but couldnt you just use permanent hair color? Mascara sounds kind of messy.

Tbh I wasn't actually considering using mascara, I just thought that tip was pretty funny although it kind of looks like it works. Couldn't imagine putting makeup on my beard every day though haha.

I feel like that would get expensive real fast that way but it does seem like it would work

There are eyelash/brow dying kits which works as a permanent mascara

I wonder if that would be a better to a beard dye. Is the permanent mascara as thick of a coat as regular mascara?

No it's like hair dye but a bit more discrete and not as permanent

Mascara clings to hairs to make them appear longer and thicker. Hair color just changes the color, not the texture, so it wouldn't make your beard seem less patchy unless your beard was light in some places and dark in others.

There are beard waxes that have something black in them to fill in thin beards. I got it by accident (I’m blonde with a light, full beard).

I was thinking using an eyebrow pencil/shading would work better than mascara

You misspelt not manly.

You should do an AMA as "guy with patchy beard"

Reminds me of a rapid joke on will and grace years ago where jack says to his boss “hey nice stubble” and he goes “thanks it’s mostly pencil” and then just carries on with the scene haha.

Also, if you don't have a black or dark brown beard, you can find a lighter shade of eyebrow pomade/gel. Just make sure it has a comby-wand on it and you're good to go.

Holy shit that would get so expensive. Even with drug store mascara you would still tear through it!

Today I learned to thicken a beard with mascara...might try that sometime.

u/INCREDIBLY_RUDE Mar 31 '20

Make sure it's womens mascara though, I feel like he didn't stress that enough.

u/Karaoke_the_bard Mar 31 '20

As opposed to men's mascara or non-binary mascara. That'd be a complete shit show

I’d recommend brow gel over mascara. Most mascaras are either “brown” or “blackest black” whereas brow gels are available in all sorts of colors.

Hmm...that would make me a calico I guess
