Whatever the make-up objective, the techniques for lightening/shadowing are the basis of the effects you want to achieve. Shaded/dark segments cause that area to recede optically, whereas highlighted/lighter segments make something stand out optically. Important areas for shading are the eye sockets, the temples, the side of the nose and below the cheekbones.

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.

To make the eyes appear slanted, you proceed as follows: Draw with a fine brush to draw a black line along the upper edge of the eyelashes. Then extend that line diagonally upwards from the outer corner of the eye.

The teeth are painted over the lips using white Water Make-up.

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.

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.

Tipcrème can be applied directly onto the skin or into the hair. You can apply it directly from the tube or with a brush. If the Tipcrème is applied on top of the Water Make-up, one must work quickly and without rubbing.
