Applying makeup

I guess this is the end of the game for me. I tried everything I could think of.but can't put the makeup on nor will the game release my brush (even if I go to another scene). It is glued to my mouse. I tried the CE walkthrough and the tip on here about holding the mouse down and drag the color. Nothing has worked. This game seems to have quite a few glitch's. I was able to work thru the others but it's been hours of working on the makeup till I'm just totally frustrated.
