"I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make Frankenstein's monster. With our liquid latex application on the face and dry, we're now ready to move on to our green makeup. You've waiting for this for a long time. What we're going to do is we're going to start applying the green makeup to the face. Were going to cover everything. We're going to cover the face, the neck, the ears. Everything should be covered up in good old green. Apply judiciously; apply a lot. You don't want to make it look like as if it's literally lathered on. Smooth is out as you're going around, but beyond that, the sky's the limit here. Frankenstein is known as green for whatever reason and that is what we're going to be going for today. Keep spreading this out. Go up all over the face. Again, we're going to extend this down, down underneath the neck. On a lot of makeup, I recommend stopping and not doing the neck right away, but in this case we can extend it right now. There's no reason not to. We're going to go back up over the ears. As things get thinner, make sure to get some more green makeup going to that we're actually able to keep that consistent layer. Lastly, sometimes people will keep their collars open or their blazer off to make sure that they don't get any makeup on it. That's okay, but in general, you shouldn't be wearing a collared shirt or your blazer that you don't mind getting some green makeup on because odds are it's going to happen throughout the evening."
