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.
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.
When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours.
Draw the outlines using a black line to define them. Make sure the black line is not too thick, as that creates a sombre effect. With a contrasting colour you create stripes to suggest more depth for a lively effect.
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.
