"Hi I'm Ginny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to turn an ordinary human face into a cat face for Halloween. Now that my eyes and my nose are beginning to look a little more like a cat I need to make my mouth look more like a cat's mouth. Cats have big cheeks right underneath their nose and they are not really cheeks but the area that their whiskers come from. So I need to keep that wide and I am going to outline it with an eyebrow pencil so I will give it that effect. So I am going to start here and I am going to go wide with my eyebrow pencil and make it curved. Again you might have to wipe it off occasionally because we do have make-up there that it is trying to go over. So I am going to curve this. This is going to give it the look of whisker pads that come way out onto my cheek. And then to bring it in I will bring it all the way into the corner of my mouth making it very distinguished and shaping it. And now I also need to make my lips brown. You can do this with your eyebrow pencil or brown lipstick. You could also do this with pink. Once you are satisfied with that and you have your distinct marks there then you also want to come a little bit down from your mouth and shape it so that you have that distinctive cat chin as well. Again anytime you don't like what you are doing it is not too hard to start over. Just re-apply make-up to that spot and you are ready to go. There now my nose looks like a cat nose and I have whisker pads and a chin that looks like a cat chin. The next thing we are going to do is add the finishing touches."
