Realistic beard deluxe - Black

The realistic deluxe black beard is a full fake beard with an attached moustache and a mouth opening, worn with a thin band behind the ears.

It is designed to give a pirate, viking or gnome a dark beard during carnival or another costume party, without you having to grow a beard yourself. The beard comes from Wicked Costumes and sits short and close along the jawline.

What the fake beard looks like

• The beard is completely black, with hairs packed closely together.
• The moustache and beard form one piece, with a cutout that keeps your mouth free.
• The beard runs from the chin up along the jawline to just below the ears.
• On the side is a thin black band that goes behind the ear.
• You only receive the beard; a hat or shirt is not included.

Why a short full beard and not a long beard?

A short full beard follows the shape of your jaw, which keeps your face recognisable and makes the beard suitable for many different characters. A long beard down to the chest is mainly associated with a wizard or an old wise man, while a thick chin-length beard is typical of the rugged pirate, the Norse warrior and the nineteenth-century gentleman. So choose this beard if you want a sturdy, well-groomed beard and not a long strand hanging over your costume. Thanks to the opening at the mouth, your mouth remains free for talking.

Making a pirate, viking or gnome recognisable with the beard

For a pirate, combine the beard with a tricorn hat, an eye patch and a striped shirt, so that the dark hair stands out between the hat and collar. You can make a viking recognisable with a horned helmet and a faux fur vest over a simple tunic. If you want to portray a nineteenth-century gentleman, put on a top hat and wear a white shirt with a vest. As a gnome, choose a red pointed hat, then the dark beard will stand out sharply against that bright colour.
