Making A Second Mustache

I really like knotting and I decided to make another mustache, but in a different style. It will be similar to a Victorian mustache, but it is not as pointed in the middle, towards the nose. Handlebar is what this type of mustache is called and it is a thick, wide mustache with a curvy end that goes upwards.

I used the same hair that I used to make my first mustache. It took me a lot less time to do one whole side of the mustache - under three hours. I like to start with the right side (left side of the face) because it is easier considering I'm left handed.

Knotting under a bad lighting resulted with a blood vessel bursting in my eye. I do wear my glasses, but need to go get my eyes checked soon because I think my eyesight had changed and my eyes hurt.  I need to be a lot more careful and do it in daylight or under a lot brighter light. Maybe I should try using a green coloured paper as my template, might be more calming on my eyes than blue.
