Now, you can play around with that, blend more, design more, sometimes less is better to create the effect that you actually want. Now, at this point we want to set the whole thing, so were going to use, again, the Neutral Set powder by Ben Nye, which has no color to it, and a powder puff. So, again, youre going to take your powder, and Im going to sprinkle that a little bit on a paper towel, you dont need a lot. You just need enough powder to coat the cream makeup, you dont want it packed on there. Again, you dip the puff into the powder, work it into the puff, and tap it once. You want all that powder to come off. Now, when I've done a job like this, instead of rubbing or mashing it into the makeup, I've got so many colors going on, I could mess it up. This is kind of tricky, but you can get used to doing it, is to take your powder puff like this, and let it paddle. Let it paddle for you. So, close your eyes, you always have them close their eyes, and Im going to pat this powdered puff over the makeup like that. You can always pick up a little bit more, and Im actually smacking the powder away from the puff and onto the makeup. This will set that makeup for a good eight hours.

You can dance in it, you can scare people in it. Good. Im going to let that sit for about one minute, and then I will show you how to take a brush and brush the excess powder away. Then we will finally change her hair by adding a wig to this Werewolf for Halloween design.
