WATER MAKE-UP

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. Apply the Water Make-up into the hairline (do not forget the ears and the neck); this will prevent a mask-type effect.
Water Make-up dries quickly, so you need to work quickly to achieve a beautiful result.

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. So decide yourself how far you want to extend the colour. 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.

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.

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. 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.

Whatever the make-up objective, the techniques for lightening/shadowing are the basis of the effects you want to achieve. 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.
Draw the eyebrows in with long strokes going upwards for a threatening effect. The more quickly you draw the line the straighter it will be, and the more pressure you apply on the brush, the thicker the line becomes.
