Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Matt Cail on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm here today to talk about skeleton makeup. Moving on from the eyes we are going to go to the nose and the nose presents a real challenge because of course skeletons has much shorter noses than people who are alive do. The way that you get this effect is start at the middle of the bridge of the nose, bring the line down, go around the nostrils, come a little bit down on the region beneath the nose but above your lips. Basically what we are going to be doing is making upside down heart shape, take it on the other side of the nose and do the same thing. Okay right now are just putting in guidelines, we are not filling it in even if the lines get a little bit thick because these are just guide marks to where this is going to be solid black eventually surrounded by white. This is his nose area he would be able to be do a much more fine tune job once you switch to his brushes. Another thing to keep in mind with the nose area is because the nose is the center of the face you have to watch out bleeding over to the eyes and the lips. Make sure you have a definite region where there is going to be white between your eye holes and your nose holes as well. In addition you are going to be having to make sure your nose does not go down over the mouth. There should definite be space between the lips and the bottom of the nose. "
