Make the nostrils larger with the dark colour. Draw a line down from the middle of the nose (between the nostrils) to the upper lip. This line gets wider as you get towards the upper lip and you then draw it along the upper lip to the corners of the mouth. Let the line run in circular way from the corners of the mouth across the cheeks to the nose. Draw a white stripe on top of the lower lip and draw a black line around it for a wide effect.
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.
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.
General tip: Water Make-up can be used to add (additional) colour to the hair and eyebrows, provided that the hair is not permed, bleached or dyed. Use a toothbrush to do this.
Hair that has been coloured using Water Make-up (Pure) can be washed with shampoo.
