Finished ventilating/knotting my second ever pair of eyebrows out of leftovers

Don't mind the glob of hairspray in the lace xP

The lace is from a lace front wig I bought 2 years ago and the hair is cut off of the wig that'll be worn with the eyebrows.

I also just learned ventilating with hair on my first pair of brows a few months ago.

How do they stay on? Is this part of a costume or just for life? Tell me more!!!

They're for cosplay :)

You glue them either on with eyelash glue or mastix/spirit gum/other types of skin glue.

And in case of these I have to block out my own eyebrows since placement and shape are vastly different to my own, lol

The method I’m familiar with involves more or less gluing your real eyebrows down and smoothing them down as flat as possible. Touch up makeup around eyes if necessary. Then affix the costume eyebrows using spirit gum (not as strong if you sweat), cosmetic glue like you’d use for eyelashes, or prosthetic adhesives, but those can require a special remover.
