"You can see the finish affect that we accomplished now on the nostrils next we are going to turn to our laugh lines. The laugh lines are essentially the lines which are go from your nostril down to the right of the corner of your lips that you get from smiling. Some people have more least pronounced laugh lines if you are or out of somebody if you are young enough you don't have any or even a lot of kids don't have them. Just kind of trace in generally in a diagonal line right here from the nostril down to the corner of your mouth. What we are going to do is we are going to fold this in with another black line it is not going to be a super wide one like so. Now you notice this is a lot thinner than a lot of the other lines we painted. We don't want this, we are doing a witch not a mummy we don't want them to appear too prune like. It is just something to heighten the effect, to heighten their smiling, to give them a little bit of flare to their smile. What I generally do is I take the line, I keep it straight down in about one third of the way and then I kind of have like a little bow, a very, very slight bow to the line. This would kind of follow more to the counter the cheek and the face everyone is different but definitely keep it in mind. It should not be absolutely straight."
