"Hi my name is Matt Cail on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm here today to talk about skeleton makeup. The last part we are going to need to represent on the skeleton makeup is the area between the cheek bones and the jaw bones. This is one of the hardest areas, it is one of the complicated parts in the skull and it is very hard to present it in makeup as well cause it is a very odd looking shape. But these bones you definitely join and it is a excellent opportunity to make shadow and gap to make them fit more interesting than just having to be solid white on the cheeks. So we are going to draw a line to represent the gap between the cheek bones and the jaw bones. I'm right from here to here and the way is to think about this is think about as a horizontal S, it is a S lying on its side and that would help you a lot that is the basic shape of the gap and would get a good effect. And we would move on to the other side and you are going to do the same thing again right from the edge of the side burn, come down and do a horizontal S. Again we are just doing this to mark. We are not filling anything in yet but this would be a good guide post later on and we would be adding and shadowing in the lines. But now we have, now we have done all the varies of shadowing on both sides of the face. "
