It could be a good idea if you delay the addition of the facial prosthetics to the latest phases of the transformation. This will give the actress more room to develop her performance in order to show the horror and pain of the TF without too many makeup on her face. I mean: ears or contact lenses would go ok in the beginning, but for example a muzzle or eyebrow coverage would hinder her performance. What do you think?

I agree completely. That goes back to what I was saying about how important it is for the actor to really sell the transformation as opposed to just relying on prosthetics and VFX. I thought the girl from The Dark did a great job but it could definitely be taken to another level. Honestly the acting wasn't the best in American Werewolf in that scene. It was okay but it was Baker's VFX that really shocked and sold the performance. Whatever is lacking in funds/VFX capability though could more than be made up for in performance with basic ear, fang, feet prosthetics by the actress. As has already been mentioned, sound and audio are crucial here as well..
