Grimas | Hooked nose

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.

MASTIX EXTRA = Mastix Extra

= Transparent Powder

FIXING POWDER = Fixing 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.

Shadowing
This example makes use of the principle of 'aging'. Important areas for shading are the eye sockets, the temples, the side of the nose and below the cheekbones. 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. The lines from the eyes towards the forehead (vertical frowning wrinkles) and the naso-labial ('nose-lip') fold are therefore sharp in the direction of the nose and more blurred towards the outside. 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). Bags under the eyes are sharp on the lower side and must be faded towards the upper side.

The parts of the face that have not been shaded now seem to have been brought forward.
