"Hi! I'm Erin on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to work on the application of facial hair. Now we're doing a bushy mustache and we did the same thing. Play with your hair a little bit. Get it all stretched out and whatever. Ball it up if you need to. We got our little ball right here. First, take a wider brush because you're going to have a wider mustache now. Dip it into your spirit gum here. I got a little string going there. I'm going to paint that on right here. You can even draw it down to the corners of the mouth too. The area is a little bit thicker. Get it tacky, so kind of play with it a little bit. I like really tacky. I think earlier that's why it fell off. Does it feel like it's getting tacky? Good. Now, we have our little tacky spot and we have our little ball of hair. What we're going to do is once again, you've got your ball of hair. You're going to cut, make a straight edge. That's pretty wide not to cover that base, so you want to stick it like that right there on top. You can fix it, press it down a little bit with the scissors and up under here. Just make sure it's going to stick. I'm making a little Luigi mustache here. Alright. Let's just cut this off. We've got this now. It's like a big bush. There is your spot that you're about to work with and play with. "
