"Hi. Looking for a great way to enhance your already beautiful face and body? Well, today, we're going to show you how to use glitter on your face and body. Now, you want to make sure that you don't overdo it with the glitter because then you can ruin your look. So make sure that you take it slow, apply a little bit at a time and work your way up to the desired amount. Now, I have glitter here and it's great for your face and your body. It's not a chunky glitter. It's a very small and dusty glitter so you can actually build upon it as you go along. Now you want to make sure that if you have a lot of fine lines and wrinkles, you want to stay away from too much glitter because the glitter will actually settle into the lines and then you'll start to look very prickly, very shimmery and shiny and this is something that you don't want. What you want to do is you want to use the glitter to enhance or brighten your already beautiful face. So a great way to do this is tap glitter, maybe, along the cheekbone like so, and then dust away. Very softly. We don't want it to be very, very strong. We want it to be very soft. You can create that same look on the other side, tapping slowly, and brushing away, thus creating a beautiful, lit under eye. You can dust it along the forehead, down the bridge of the nose as well as the cheek. I'm sorry, the chin. Now you can also use glitter under the chin, on the neck, just to give you a beautiful, sparkley look. If you're wearing a low cut dress or a low cut top, this will just give you that extra shimmer you need. Remember, don't apply too much too soon, take your time, and apply just the right amount. My name is Sylvia Russell and this is how you can apply glitter to your face and body."
