Grimas Water Make-up (Pure) is an unperfumed, gluten-free water-based make-up, intended for face-painting and body-painting.
Pure means that the product in question does not contain any chemical preservatives (such as parabens) or halogenated organic compounds.
Water Make-up works just like watercolour paint. The best way to apply Grimas Water Make-up (Pure) and Water Make-up Pearl Pure is to use a brush. Use the brush and a little water to soften the make-up and make it a bit pasty. Test the colour intensity on the hand. Don't work too dry, but do not use too much water. Grimas Water Make-Up (Pure) can be used around the eyes, but children often do not like it when brushes are so close to the eyes.
If you work above the eyes (eyelid), have your model close his/her eyes in a relaxed manner. Children are inclined to shut their eyes tight. Then you can say: keep your eyes closed as if you are sleeping.
Black eye: apply blue Grimas Water Make-up (Pure) to the corner of the eye and some red make up on the sunken areas. Blend the colours into each other. You can tone down the colours with yellow Water Make-up (Pure).
Graze: rub a Grimas Stoppel Sponge over the red Water Make-up (Pure) and smear stripes onto the face.
Hint: if there are multiple scratches in a graze, make sure that they are parallel to each other to create a believable effect.
If you do not want the colours to mix, be sure to wait for the first layer to dry before applying another colour over it or up against it.
