Everything that is going to be coloured in a skin tone - except for the edges - must be pre-coloured slightly with red to suggest naturally perfused skin. To do this, apply Grimas Special Effects Powder 504 or a red Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge using a Make-up Sponge or Powder Rouge Brush.

Then use a sponge to apply a covering layer of Grimas Camouflage Make-up Pure in the desired skin shade. Work directly from the stick or spatula. If you want to give the latex prostetic a brighter colour, use Grimas Crème Make-up Pure.
Note: don't use Crème Make-up Pure for skin tones, but use Grimas Camouflage Make-up Pure.

EYESHADOW/ROUGE = Eyeshadow/Rouge
MAKE-UP SPONGE = Make-up Sponge
BRUSHES POWDER ROUGE = Brushes Powder/Rouge
LATEX PROSTHETICS = Latex prostetics
CAMOUFLAGE MAKE-UP PURE = Camouflage Make-up Pure
ATTACH

Apply a little Grimas Mastix Extra to the inside of the scales/adhesive edge and allow it to dry for a few seconds. Do the following to get the correct degree of adhesion: press the latex prostetic lightly in place and then remove it again straight away. Wait a few seconds and reposition the application, pressing the edges in place with a tissue.

Protect the eyes by closing them and covering them with a tissue. Can cause serious damage to the eyes.

To get a smooth transition between the latex prostetic and the skin, even the edges off as follows: apply a thin line of eyelash adhesive to the edge of a sponge and dab this over the transition between the latex prostetic and the skin. Allow to dry with help of a hairdryer until the result is transparent. Repeat this process until a nice and even transition is obtained. Colour the edges of the transition with the colour being used.
Powder it all off with Grimas Transparent Powder or Fixing Powder and then remove any excess powder.

Dab the application with a Stipple Sponge to apply the effect of a skin structure.
APPLYING A BASE

Take the Camouflage Make-up Pure out with a clean spatula and work from the spatula, or directly from the stick. Apply it with a slightly damp latex sponge or make-up sponge onto the skin.
Apply Camouflage Make-up Pure to the lips as well, to make the lips look narrower, to obtain a mean effect.
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.

Next, you subtly lighten/shadow with Crème Make-up.
