I'm Mark Wenzel and we're going to learn how to be a mime today. Then you take it and you kind of stipple it, is what they call it. You make lots of little dots. You go over the face like this. That's the first coat. You can always kind of tell who's been doing a lot of mime by how their makeup looks. Once you put on the second coat of a bunch of big dots, take all the water out. This is great stuff. It just uses water. Water to put it on and water to take it off. The sponge is a little bit dry. The thing is that will make a bunch of small dots. Now you've got this third coat, which is basically getting rid of the big dots and making the small dots. Same sort of thing. Once again, why they use the makeup like this, the white makeup. Just like a microphone makes your voice louder, the white makeup kind of makes your face louder. When you're doing a show for a lot of people, you've got to be able to have your own set foot lights as they say. You've got to look a bit different than the other people.
