Emma Benton, a hair and makeup stylist for tv, shows and films came in to show us a demonstration of Victorian era makeup and hair styles which included attatching wigs to the head in the right way. On the left is her make-up kit that she carries with her to all jobs. This is filled with every product of make-up that she may encounter on the job.
She first showed us a real 100% human hair wig that would be used in tv dramas, or in films. The wig she demonstrated to us with was a grey wig used for an old Victorian styled look.
Emma firstly kept the hair under control with a stocking placed over the whole of the hair. She then began to stick the front shorter hairs down with a product specialised for this. Once the hair was in place she added small clips around the wig to secure. 
Using the ageing/wrinkle stipple, she then added this underneath Jennys eyes making her look aged with wrinkled skin. This looked really effective as Jenny is young with tight skin, but was then transformed into an old woman.
Here are two boards that Emma Benton uses when she is filming on a programme drama where extra body/facial hair is needed. The left board is Mustaches, and the right side burns and small beards. These are each worth alot of money and would tend to be bought within the budget given for each film/tv drama.
