"Hello! I am Monte and today on behalf of Expert Village, we are going to be talking about makeup for the stage. Now we are going to talk about accenting the jaw line. On a face like mine that is clean-shaven or as in women’s faces it is important to have a line that defines the line of your jaw on your face. Otherwise from a distance it could appear that your jaw directly blends into your neck, which would make for a very unnatural unique experience. By just applying a very basic line of highlight along your jaw line, the fingers are good to do it because it does not have to be very accurate. If you have facial hair, if you have a beard of course this is unnecessary because your face will be naturally defined by your facial hair."
