"OK, now this one that we are going to be doing is going to be sunset. It's pretty easy you just kind of make sure you blend well because that's what the sky is all about. I'm going to start with the blue because the sunset is going to be over an ocean. So right under the nose is a really good place to start the horizon line of the ocean. I just start in the middle and pull it around to the edges of the face and make sure it's pretty flat because the ocean is. You just want to at first create that outline. I'm just going to pull it up under her chin. Now it's up to you guys if you want to go over the lips or not. I usually go over the top lip a little bit, just so that it looks filled in. Now you don't have to worry so much. Try not to get it in their mouths but since its non-toxic, it's pretty, pretty safe stuff. Just fill in, you want to go just a bit over the lips. Too much. Alright, that's the first stage of the ocean."
