"Hi, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to show you how to make a scarecrow costume. For or makeup we are going to go for an overall jack-o-lantern effect. This is a scarecrow with a pumpkin head. To accomplish the effect we are going to start by applying a layer of orange to our volunteer's face here. This is going to be a bright, bright brilliant orange all and all. So we are going to need a lot of makeup. So definitely as soon as it starts to getting a little fainter go back for more orange. When in doubt apply liberally on this case. Just make sure that you are also blending it too. We don't want to have lots of weird pockets of orange that aren't blended over the face. So expand this out. We are going to cover the whole face in orange here. This is going to be, I mean this is going to be a complete pumpkin head scarecrow. So as soon as you start getting a little bit thin again go back for more orange and keep on applying it all the way over the face. I apply by using a dabbing semi circular motion like so. So I am not coming down. I am also trying if you are a guy go with the stubble. Don't go against it. That could end up irritating your skin unnecessarily."
