Kim
In Spanish, do I use the verb aparecer to ask how someone looks with a moustache?
In English we say 'looks' but in Spanish I'm assuming I would need to say 'appears.' is this correct?

Hello Kim! I think you mean "parecer" , am I right? I think your example and translation with "looks" would be: como me queda el bigote? O que te parece mi bigote?
In that case, "looks" does not have a literal translation into Spanish.
I hope I understood your question

APARECER: appear, show up
PARECER: look/seem like
VER: see
MIRAR: look
VERSE: look/seem (for others)
SOME EXAMPLES ON THESE CONFUSING VERBS:
"IT LOOKS/SEEMS LIKE IT'S GONNA RAIN": parece que va a llover
"HEY YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD TODAY": hey, ¡te ves bien hoy!
"SHE LOOKS LIKE A MODEL": parece una modelo
"LOOK!, THERE'S JIMMY!": ¡mira, ahí está Jimmy!
"I CAN'T SEE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU?": no te veo, ¿dónde estás?
"ANA FINALLY SHOWED UP": Ana finalmente apareció. ~llegó*
HOPE THIS HELPS!

Remember this aparecer and parecer are two different verbs aparecer means appear, so, PARECER means how something or someone looks like, but in a comparative way. If I took your example, the correct way to ask how someone looks with a moustache you can ask: ¿Cómo me veo con bigote? In English that means, how do I look with moustache? The expression "cómo me veo" or "cómo te ves" is used to ask someone how looks like. I hope I've helped.
