  9. Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-15 Tuxedo to the pupils of the eyes, outline the eye opening and add the mouth line.
  10. Using a CB-406 #6 Pointed Round, apply 3 Coats of SC-75 Orange-A-Peel to the nose.
  11. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, add stripes to the scarf and hat band with SC-74 Hot Tamale.
