Ladies' Creative
We're not gonna define it. Just werk it.
​
These beards use creative materials in their construction. They do not necessarily follow the traditional structure of a beard or moustache in size or dimension. They can be artistic and abstract representations of beards and or moustaches, or traditional and realistic representations of a beard and or moustache. The most realistic looking beard does not necessarily win. The "realism" of a beard is one factor among many to be judged, just as length does not win every comp but must be factored in with width, color and overall look.
