PREPARATION

Before starting, you ensure your hands and nails are well cleaned. File your nails if necessary, so that there are no snags. By doing this you prevent damages on the face and risk of infection.

Always work using clean materials (sponges, brushes, spatulas, water bowls) and change the water regularly.

Get the subject to put on any clothes beforehand that have to be put on over the head. Protect your models clothing with a hairdressing cape or a towel.

APPLYING A BASE

Apply a make-up base using Grimas Cake Make-up or Crème Make-up Pure.

In this example we are using Crème Make-up Pure, as this can be applied easily and blends beautifully. It covers very well.
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).

Take the Crème Make-up Pure out with a clean spatula and work from the spatula.
With a slightly damp clean make-up sponge you apply the Crème Make-up Pure from the spatula onto the skin as base.
FINISHING

Shade below the eyes, on the sides of the nose and in the naso-labial fold using light grey Eye Shadow/Rouge (for a Cake base) or Crème Make-up Pure (for a Crème base).
For shadowing and highlighting you can use for example a flat red-sable hairbrush.
