First dab a little Cake Make-up onto the hand to check the colour intensity. Then apply it evenly from top to bottom. Work the Cake Make-up out properly, up into the hairline, and do not forget the ears and neck. This is how you avoid a mask-like effect. Cake Make-up dries quickly, so you need to work quickly to achieve a nice result. If the result is not even, turn the sponge that you worked with over and use the clean side to even out the make-up. Any stripes after drying can be gently rubbed away with a soft tissue or cloth.

Advice: white Cake Make-up is transparent and therefore never completely covers up. If you want to have a covering effect (for example with a zebra or a clown), then you need to apply a layer of white Water Make-up (Pure) on top of the Cake Make-up.

CAKE MAKE-UP = Cake Make-up

WATER MAKE-UP (PURE) = Water Make-up Pure

WATER MAKE-UP

Apply the Water Make-up into the hairline (do not forget the ears and the neck); this will prevent a mask-type effect.

Water Make-up dries quickly, so you need to work quickly to achieve a beautiful result. Don't work too dry, but do not use too much water.

If you do not want the colours to mix, be sure to wait for the first layer to dry before applying another colour over it or up against it.
When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours.

Grimas Water Make-Up (Pure) can be used around the eyes, but children often do not like it when brushes are so close to the eyes. So decide yourself how far you want to extend the colour.
When working under the eyes, have your model look upwards - only with the eyes, without moving the head. If you work above the eyes (eyelid), have your model close his/her eyes in a relaxed manner.

Children are inclined to shut their eyes tight. Then you can say: keep your eyes closed as if you are sleeping.

If you do not want the colours to mix, be sure to wait for the first layer to dry before applying another colour over it or up against it.

Water Make-up works just like watercolour paint. Use the brush and a little water to soften the make-up and make it a bit pasty. Test the colour intensity on the hand. Don't work too dry, but do not use too much water.
If you do not want the colours to mix, be sure to wait for the first layer to dry before applying another colour over it or up against it.

When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours.
Hint: Regularly change the water you rinse your brushes in and preferably work with two water bowls: one for light and one for dark shades.
The more quickly you draw the line the straighter it will be, and the more pressure you apply on the brush, the thicker the line becomes.
