Grimas | Various examples

COLOURING LATEX

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.

EYESHADOW/ROUGE = Eyeshadow/Rouge

MAKE-UP SPONGE = Make-up Sponge

BRUSHES POWDER ROUGE = Brushes Powder/Rouge

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.

Put a piece of wadding in the nose to maintain its shape and to absorb perspiration.

STICKING ON LATEX

Attaching latex onto the skin
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.
