"Now we finished the face, but many mimes have to work a lot to get their particular face that they want to make. I think that many of you have seen a single line down the center, and perhaps a tear. I always like to add 2 lines under my eyes. It opens that area up. Sometimes you can put instead of just circles, you can put diamonds. Many mimes outline the whole face with a black line. I don't prefer to do that, but that's another option for you. Remember the last thing is you want to make sure that the lipstick is off your teeth, and that whatever expression you're going to make that the face makeup is covering all those areas. Happy miming to you, and I hope that you have fun discovering your own face."
