Ok now we're doing some witchy techniques on Amalia. We're darkening in her eyes. We've gone into these nasal labial folds and you can see how I'm blending it out and it's giving it dimension. Keep one edge really sharp, that call that a flat edge, and then they have a round edge and that's what I'm doing on the other side. That's what gives the skin dimension. So we're kind of going on top of the prosthetic and doing all these extra techniques. See how we're bringing her mouth down on the sides. Next we're going to work on the brows and the lips. We're going to give her some really witchy brows and we're going to give her some really dark lips. Just keep working your makeup. Sometimes you'll see a spot that you missed. Just work it in. Blending is a great technique to really show dimension in the skin. You can see this beautiful girl is going away and turning into a witch as we keep working it.
