TRENDS ALERT

3 To shape the nose,

fi rst mark the fl are of the

nostrils with the wide side

of a Dresden tool. Then

use a round grey silicone

tool or Dresden to stroke

down the side of the nose

and shape around the tip

of the nose. Push the same

round grey tool into the

nose to slightly indent the

nostrils, then open with

the hard pointed tool.

4 Create the cheek bones

either with the side of a

thumb, or the handle of a

tool. Stroke away fi nger or

tool marks, then pinch with

fi nger and thumb to pull

the mouth slightly forward

and hollow the cheeks.

2 Press two fi ngers down

either side of the nose,

or use the handle of a tool.

Press down at the base of

the nose, then shape the

nose with a soft round tool

or fi ngers while the paste is

still soft.

1 Roll 45g of fl esh coloured

paste into an oval. Roll a

fi nger half way down the

face to create the eye line.

Use a bone tool to gently

press each eye socket into

place. Smooth away with

fi ngers afterwards to take

away lines from tools.

5 Use the hard pointed

tool to mark two dots to

indicate the mouth area,

then join the dots using the

tool as a scribe.

6 Insert a scalpel into the

mouth, cutting from corner

to centre for both sides.

Keep the scalpel inside the

mouth and lift up the upper

lip, then pull down the

lower lip. Stroke the edge

of the lips either with a

fi nger or with the wide end

of a Dresden tool.

7 Use a grey round silicone

tool to press around both

the top and bottom lips

to defi ne. Push the lower

lip in just under the sides

of the mouth to lift the

corners of the mouth into

a small smile.

8 Insert the wide end of a

Dresden tool to mark the

shape of the eye. Hollow

either using the Dresden

or a small ball tool. Push

the Dresden upside down

under the upper eye lid and

lift slightly to create upper

eye lids.

9 Emphasise the upper and

lower eye lids using a no.2

grey round silicone tool or

a soft tapered tool stroking

around the eye. Insert very

small rugby ball shapes of

white paste into the eye.

10 Push a hollow into the

white then drop in a tiny

ball of brown paste. Repeat

with a smaller ball tool

before adding a tinier ball

of black. Roll white paste

into a fi ne sausage and add

tiny pieces of paste for the

whites of the eye.

11 Dust a little skintone

mixed with cornfl our into

the creases of the face.

Begin to add eyebrows

with tapered sausages of

white paste textured with

a Dresden tool.
