"Hi, I'm Erin and you're watching Expert Village. Today we are going to be working on 3-Dimensional make-up. When taking your putty out of the pot I recommend using a spatula, it's a lot easier than your fingers because at first it's going to be a little hard. So take your putty you only need a very small amount; you're not adding on an extra nose you're just adding on a broken nose. Once you get that putty, close your case. Mash it down together. You can use your spatula to actually mash the inside part that you going to be using for the inside because you don't want to touch it too much because the oils of your fingers will get onto the putty and it will not stick to the face. Right now I'm just playing with the spatula and the putty just to kind of form it. The side that I'm using the spatula on will be the side that I stick to the skin area. You can even stick in on there and kind of form it with your fingers. The outside part is fine, just the inside you don't need to touch. Go ahead and rub it down, smooth it together. A nice little finish around there. You need to make it a little long because you're going to wrap it over the bridge of the nose."
