First dab a little Cake Make-up onto the hand to check the colour intensity. Then apply it evenly from top to bottom. Work the Cake Make-up out properly, up into the hairline, and do not forget the ears and neck. This is how you avoid a mask-like effect. Cake Make-up dries quickly, so you need to work quickly to achieve a nice result. If the result is not even, turn the sponge that you worked with over and use the clean side to even out the make-up. Any stripes after drying can be gently rubbed away with a soft tissue or cloth.

CAKE MAKE-UP = Cake Make-up

Apply the light tint first and colour the deeper parts using the dark red shade.

Instead of Cake Make-up and Eye Shadow/Rouge, you can also work with Crème Make-up Pure.

After the base you can use Eye Shadow/Rouge to enliven the character.

Add red and white accents near the eyes and use the dark colour to frame the eyes and to apply lines in the face.

Important areas for shading are the eye sockets, the temples, the side of the nose and below the cheekbones. The naso-labial fold is easier to locate if one grimaces. The length of this line also determines the character to be made up (the longer, the more severe).

Hint: You make the goatee using Wool Crepe.

The shape, width and quality of the brush are to a great extent qualifying the effect you can achieve with it. For instance, round brushes are ideal for making curves and drawing curls. You draw straight lines preferably with a flat brush, keeping the handle of the brush pointed in the direction of the line. To draw a thin line, you do not necessarily need to use a narrow brush. You can also use the edge of a flat brush for that. This brush is also very convenient for making a thick line merge into a thin one, turning the brush on its side in one fluid action as you go automatically changes the line from thick to thinner. When you come to the end of a line, lift the brush from the skin in a single smooth movement.
