"Hi, my name is Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to show you how to make a princess costume. Okay, so let’s go over what we are going to use to create our princess. First we are going to have some glitter makeup. This is to impart a slightly magical feel to our princess. A more fantastical feel to her. We are also going to use white baby powder. This is again too pale the face somewhat. And again kind of like more of an Elizabethlian feel. Which is what a lot of people used white makeup on their faces. Next you are going to be various shades of pink, including some eye shadow and also some blush. That we are going to use today as well. Next we have our lip gloss to make those lips ultra shinny. And of course related on the lips we are going to have some nice pink lipstick. We are going to apply several of these items using a couple of different brushes. Smaller fine tip brushes for more of the detail especially working around the eye area and other like finer line details. We are going to have a broader brush to apply things like the powder and over larger areas of the face. We are also going to have makeup sponges again to help with blending and rubbing and spreading the makeup around. And last but not least we are also going to have some facial highlighter for highlights on the face. "
