APPLYING A BASE

Apply the make-up on clean skin, after the usual daily care (day cream or Grimas Under Make-up Base). Apply a base with Grimas Crème Make-up Pure.

Take the Crème Make-up Pure out with a clean spatula and work from the spatula. Apply it with a slightly damp latex sponge or make-up sponge onto the skin. Work the base out properly, up into the hairline, and do not forget the ears and neck. This is how you avoid a mask-like effect.

The waxes and oils allow Crème Make-up Pure to be blended away easily, making it excellent for highlights and shadows, both for beauty (shaping, modelling) and theatrical purposes (ageing, creating various characters, effects).

SHADOWING

Emphasise the red cheeks by drawing a line in red from the naso-labial fold. Extend this line upwards and to the side, and let it merge into the base. If necessary, blur the segments and lines that are to be faded using a dry make-up sponge. You do this with a dabbing action, without wiping.

You draw the lines with a flat sable-hair brush. By placing it obliquely on the skin you get a sharp edge on one side and a fading effect on the other side. To determine which side should be sharp and which side faded, you start from the centre of the face (nose). Create a fading effect towards the outside.

LIGHTENING

To create a round effect you need to make all the elevated parts of the face stand out more. You emphasise these parts (nose, chin, brow bone and cheekbones) using a light colour.

FINISHING

Crème Make-up always needs to be powdered off. Apply the powder on top of the make-up. You can do this with a Make-up Sponge or a Velour Powder Puff. Allow to settle in and remove the excess powder with a Powder-Rouge Brush.

You draw the eyebrows using Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge and a little Cleansing Lotion.
