Grimas | Corrective day make-up

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 the make-up on clean skin, after the usual daily care (day cream or Grimas Under Make-up Base).

In this example we are working with a base of Grimas Foundation and for correction we use Camouflage Make-up. Red blotches you can neutralise using Camouflage Make-up with a green tint.

Correction Stick Pure can be applied directly to the skin.

Take the Camouflage Make-up out with a clean spatula. Rubbing it with your fingertip will make it softer and easier to handle. If desired, you can make the texture softer and affect the colour by blending the Camouflage make-up with Crème Make-up or Foundation, for instance.
Apply the make-up using the Visagie Brush V4.

Then you apply Foundation as a base. To determine the proper colour, you can test it on the neck.

Squeeze a little foundation out of the tube onto a clean spatula. Work from the spatula using a clean, dry latex sponge or a slightly moist make-up sponge, applying the foundation to the skin in a thin layer. 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.
Apply a very thin layer of light-coloured camouflage to the deeper lines (naso-labial fold) and under the eyes. Work this out well and let it merge with the foundation base.
Correction Stick Pure can be applied directly to the skin.
