How to Apply Mime Makeup to Lips

Video Transcript

"I'm Mark Wenzel and we're teaching you how to be a mime. Once you've done the white makeup in a mask and you've accented the eyes and the eyebrows and the mustache, the lips are very important. Once again, a real trick to putting on any sort of makeup like this is too small and then you can make it bigger. It's hard when you make it real big and then to try to make it smaller. It's hard to talk while you're doing this at the same time, but you'll get an idea. I use brush. You can just grab a lipstick or something like that. You want to make sure that the makeup stays on while you're sweating. You want to make sure it's on there good. You see once again, I've made it a little bit smaller than my own lips, but I can make it bigger. I don't want to have pie lips, unless that's what you do. The mime has to look pretty much as you normally look, except you've got makeup on and it's amplified. Once again, that's the whole trick to the makeup is to have it so it's amplified. Now, this is how a standard makeup will look. It's not really exaggerated. I don't have anything extra going on. No big red nose. This is how it looks, and you can see it. These are the speaking parts of my face. Stay tuned because we're going to teach you how to do mime coming up."
