> Basic make-up

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.

Here you can choose from Grimas Cake Make-up, Foundation, Camouflage Make-up Pure, Crème Make-up Pure and Compact Powder. Every single one of the basic make-ups is excellently suited for any skin type.

An additional rule is that powder-based make-up (Cake Make-up and Compact Powder) is very suitable for greasy skin and that dry skin benefits from cream-based make-up.
With Cake Make-up (covering) and Compact Powder(transparent) you can achieve a matt finish without having to powder off extra.
Crème Make-up is ideal for normal and dry skin and can if desired be applied either transparently or as a cover, ensuring a nice, natural skin sheen.

If the make-up has to keep for an extremely long period (bridal make-up, fashion show) or has to be heat-proof (tropical conditions, bright lights) and waterproof, then Camouflage Make-up is an ideal basis. Camouflage Make-up is used in combination with other basic make-up to hide rings and bags under the eyes, or pimples and spots.

For a very natural effect (young girl, older woman) and for combination skin (greasy areas) Foundation is a nice product with which one can easily work transparent. In this example we are working with a base of Grimas Foundation.
