"Hi, I'm Erin on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to work on the application of facial hair. To finish up this beard we are going to have to trim it. Obviously, there are a bunch of fly always here, so you can just kind of go around and anything the you that you see just flying away, go ahead and grab those first. Just determining how short you want, how close you want the beard to the face, it just depends. You can get as close as you want. For me, with just kind of showing you how to do this, this is fine, it looks good. I'm pretty happy with it. But, like I said, there is not much hair in this area here, so you can kind of clear that out a little bit. It's looking pretty natural here. Just like the little ones sticking out like that, you can pull them off too, if you need to. Go up around the neckline, get those little stragglers down there. Once again, go to your side, so you can get a better view of the ones hanging off the side there. Alright. Basically, here is your beard. Like I said, you can just trim to wherever you want. If you want more, you can add more, just add some more spirit gum. If you want less, pull some off or whatever. There you go, there's your full beard."
