Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Heh. Welcome to the club.

Because books.
Oh god, yeah! I've googled slaughterhouses, calibers of bullets, bullet wounds, sex toys (what?), and a million things. Once in a while I'm afraid I'm going to end up on some FBI watch list.

I've got a question about something. Two men and a woman get into a tussle trying to apprehend woman X. One of the men does get a pretty good look at X's face (maybe 30 - 60 seconds) however her face has a fair amount of blood on it at the time (not X's). X is actually taken away other authorities immediately after apprehension, so there is no time after the tussle to study.
What level of disguise would X need to have to not be recognized by either Man. The man who got a good look is decently observant. Complicating matters is that X is beautiful to a remarkable degree (there are story reasons for this), she also has perfect teeth though this is a society in which dental care is not uncommon it's not a medieval Europe like fantasy setting. On the other hand, they would not expect to see her as she should by all reason be in a jail cell at the time.
Hair color and style are different for sure. Would that do it alone without being too much of a stretch? Maybe though in a bit of cosmetics? I'm having a hard time deciding.

I'm actually surprised at how much I've had to Google so far since I have a totally made up setting. I guess all the stuff I'm constantly adding to my notes would be Google searches as well in real life.

How long has it been? Long enough she could lose weight and be dirty and etc? Because that could make a lot of difference if she's not someone they know well.

About two days, she's a total stranger when they are robbed by her and apprehend her, they only need to not recognize her for about 10 minutes.
At the moment I've got hair changing from red to black and going from curly and loose to straight and not loose, pony tail perhaps.
