Hi! This is Christina Mendocino at thehennagirl.com. We are doing body art tips and techniques. I have done some armbands and some bracelets. Now I am going to show a design on the face. The nice part about this paint is that it dries in about 1-2 minutes. If it is really humid day, it may be three minutes. And the paint pretty much stays unless someone is sweating and rubbing at it and you bought a good paint it should stay pretty nice. So I am going to make a little flower and the way to do a flower is to take your tip, press it all the way down and pull down and it automatically makes a little teardrop. Take your brush put it down. As you pull your brush down you are lifting it up so that only the tip touches it, so it is down and as you pull up you are straightening your brush. It is a very easy technique once you get it going, flat down, lift up, flat down, lift up, flat down and lift up. I will take a little green now, draw a line on the side, little swirls and you can do just a dot in the middle and even put a rhinestone on it. At the end what you can do is simple as that. And now she is ready to go out and party. On behalf of ExpertVillage.com I thank you for watching.
