Dust the cheeks with pink dust. Remove excess dust from the brush by rubbing it against the paper towel. Work gradually.
Leave the body to dry for some time (leave it flat* on the board). The body needs to be firm. That way it won't sink when you put it upright.
* Since the body is laying flat on the board and the paste is not completely dry, it will sink a little. You will get a flat back and a visible edge (at the back). You can pick the body up from time to time and smooth/soften the edge. Keep on doing that until the body is very firm and no longer loses the shape.
