"In this next clip we are going to be showing you how to apply facial hair. So you are telling yourself hey I look kind of young, I need to put on some facial hair. Well don't worry it's not that hard, I'm going to show you how to do it ok. Now first of all before you apply the facial hair, you're going to want to make sure that you don't use ordinary super glue, that you don't use you know, hairs that you plucked off uncle Ed. Ok. You want to make sure you go for some professional stuff. And what I am talking about is you want to find your local costume store or if you live in Los Angeles or New York you are going to find there's a lot of professional places where you can pick up professional facial hair and apply it. If you don't don't worry you can look online and I'm going to tell you what to look for. Now for the glue you are going to want to look for what's called spirit gum. Spirit gum adhesive and spirit gum remover because it doesn't come off that easy unless you have remover, ok. Second you are going to want to have your facial hair. Depending on what that is, whether it be a mustache or a beard or a mole or something like that. Now once you have the right equipment you want to make sure that your face is nice and clean. Make sure you you know you clean it pretty good. Something that I've used before is, if you have a alcohol based remover, just kind of clean up your face a little bit, such as a Mary Kay alcohol make up remover or maybe even just say Proactive has a blue solution renewing cleanser that will actually get a lot of grime off that soap doesn't which is good. So you'll have a good nice connection. Now once that's done, you are going to want to apply the spirit gum adhesive to the back of your facial hair stuff and you are going to slowly, gently apply it on, make sure it's nice and straight. You are going to apply it on your face. Always do this in front of the mirror so you make sure that you are doing it correctly. Now once it's done you are good to go. But you are going to have to take it off eventually. So when you take it off make sure you try to peel it off very, very slowly not to rip off any portion of your skin or anything like that would happen. And then with a cotton ball you are going to put the spirit gum remover on the cotton ball and kind of dab it on the area where you applied the facial hair and it will clean it up really nicely. And that's how you apply and remove facial hair."
