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: 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. If you work above the eyes (eyelid), have your model close his/her eyes in a relaxed manner. When working under the eyes, have your model look upwards - only with the eyes, without moving the head. Children are inclined to shut their eyes tight. Then you can say: keep your eyes closed as if you are sleeping.

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.
