Grimas | Various examples

Water Make-up works just like watercolour paint. The best way to apply Grimas Water Make-up (Pure) and Water Make-up Pearl Pure is to use a brush. 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.

When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours. 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: to make beautiful, thin lines, you mix the Water Make-up with Cleansing Lotion instead of water.

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

WATER MAKE-UP PEARL PURE = Water Make-up Glossy Pure

CLEANSING LOTION = Cleansing Lotion

Water Make-up works just like watercolour paint. The best way to apply Grimas Water Make-up (Pure) and Water Make-up Pearl Pure is to use a brush. Use the brush and a little water to soften the make-up and make it a bit pasty. First dab a little Water Make-up onto the hand to check the colour intensity. Don't work too dry, but do not use too much water.

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.

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.

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. Continue the line beyond the corners of the mouth and upwards in a curved shape.

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

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.
