When working under the eyes, have your model look upwards - only with the eyes, without moving the head. 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.

General tip: Water Make-up can be used to add (additional) colour to the hair and eyebrows, provided that the hair is not permed, bleached or dyed. Use a toothbrush to do this. You can also paint locks of hair on the skin if you wish.

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.

Draw the eyebrows in with long strokes going upwards for a threatening effect.
Make the sides of the nose dark to make it look narrower.

Whatever the make-up objective, the techniques for lightening/shadowing are the basis of the effects you want to achieve. Rounded forms express a sweet, gentle character (a little bear's face, apple cheeks, a ladybird), whereas pointed, sharp lines (a witch, a werewolf) give a dangerous and mean impression. If you extend sharp lines, for example by extending the naso-labial fold line downwards, this will give a negative and even rather mean effect. The longer the line, the more severe the character will appear.
The teeth are painted over the lips using white Water Make-up.

When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours. Hint: Regularly change the water you rinse your brushes in and preferably work with two water bowls: one for light and one for dark shades.
