Bead placement

[Cutesteph]

Hi geeks

Im just wondering where most of you plave ur pink bead?? I have been noticing a lot of techs do it different.

Do you:

a) place it close to smile line in zone 2 and push it back and smooth forward
b) place it in the middle of zone 2 and 3 and spread it out
c) place it in zone 3 close to the cuticle and smooth forward

Ive seen all these techniques used and Im just curious which one is most popular and which one would be the most correct

I use 2 beads,, one in zone 2, close to zone ones smile line and push towards zone 3, then gently butt up to zone 1, so it gives me an apex, I then place my second pink bead in zone 3 near to the epinichium, but not touching (leaving a margin) and make it smooth over my zone 3 and up and over my zone 2, and 1,, xxx

i think the most common aproach is to use a bead in zone 2 and feather it toward zone 1 and then another in zone 3 and blend it in to the rest.

however i wouldnt say there is a more proper way of doing it. as long as you are acheiveing a good result, then its down to individual choice in how you aproach the job.
