Grimas | Clown

Everything that is going to be coloured in a skin tone - except for the edges - must be pre-coloured slightly with red to suggest naturally perfused skin. To do this, apply Grimas Special Effects Powder 504 or a red Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge using a Make-up Sponge or Powder Rouge Brush.

Then use a sponge to apply a covering layer of Grimas Camouflage Make-up Pure in the desired skin shade. Work directly from the stick or spatula. If you want to give the latex prostetic a brighter colour, use Grimas Crème Make-up Pure.

Note: don't use Crème Make-up Pure for skin tones, but use Grimas Camouflage Make-up Pure.

LATEX PROSTHETICS = Latex prostetics

EYESHADOW/ROUGE = Eyeshadow/Rouge

BRUSHES POWDER ROUGE = Brushes Powder/Rouge

CAMOUFLAGE MAKE-UP PURE = Camouflage Make-up Pure

MAKE-UP SPONGE = Make-up Sponge

CRÈME MAKE-UP PURE = Crème Make-up Pure

ATTACH

Apply a little Grimas Mastix Extra to the inside of the scales/adhesive edge and allow it to dry for a few seconds. Do the following to get the correct degree of adhesion: press the latex prostetic lightly in place and then remove it again straight away. Wait a few seconds and reposition the application, pressing the edges in place with a tissue.
Protect the eyes by closing them and covering them with a tissue.

To get a smooth transition between the latex prostetic and the skin, even the edges off as follows: apply a thin line of eyelash adhesive to the edge of a sponge and dab this over the transition between the latex prostetic and the skin. Allow to dry with help of a hairdryer until the result is transparent. Repeat this process until a nice and even transition is obtained. Powder it all off with Grimas Transparent Powder or Fixing Powder and then remove any excess powder.

Dab the application with a Stipple Sponge to apply the effect of a skin structure.

To the rest of the face you apply Cake Make-up, also covering the lips and the eyebrows.
