"Hi! I'm Kathy Edwards and this my beautiful model Melanie Immanuel by Makeup by Kathy and we are here on behalf of Expert Village. Hi we are going to begin this evening first by cleansing our skin and making sure we are prepared to put our makeup on. So we are going to first use our cleanser and then we are going to use a good toner and moisturizer. Those are the 3 steps that you actually need to make sure that your foundation and your makeup is going to stay on really nicely throughout the evening. Okay I am going to ask Melanie if she will take the cloth and dampen her face and we are going to make sure that we use a good cleanser so that you don't have to rub on your skin. Make sure that you use something that is going to cleanse your skill really well. So if you will just dampen your face for me. You want to make sure as you are cleansing your face, that you don't pull and tug on your skin. When you do that, you can actually start wrinkles to form and so actually you want to make sure that you do this very very gently when you are working on your face and also around your eye area particularly. Now we are going to use a little bit of eye makeup remover. Melanie does have a little bit of mascara on and you want to make sure that you have the mascara that you had previously on completely removed so that the new mascara that you applied both on very evenly. Okay she is going to do this very gently. You want to make sure that when you do this that you do it very easily because the solution that you are using to remove the mascara, you don't want to get that in your eyes. So you just wan to make sure that you do it very easily and as you say she is rubbing to the outside of her eye which is the appropriate way to do that. "
