Grimas | Modelling

Powder the whole off with a make-up sponge with Grimas Transparent Powder. Then turn the sponge over and continue dabbing with the clean side until the excess powder has been removed.
After powdering off, you can use a stipple sponge to apply a skin structure effect if required.

SHADOWING/HIGHLIGHTING

Light and shadow and use of make-up let you create various types. For ageing we use Crème Make-up Pure because this works out easily and has good fluidic properties.
For shadowing purposes, dark brown is used. Depending on the desired effect and the situation (nearby, far off), you can apply stronger or less strong lines. Important areas for shading are the eye sockets, the temples, the side of the nose and below the cheekbones. The vertical frown wrinkle and the naso-labial ('nose-lip') fold are also important areas to shadow.

You draw the lines with a flat sable-hair brush. By placing it obliquely on the skin you get a sharp edge on one side and a fading effect on the other side. To determine which side should be sharp and which side faded, you start from the centre of the face (nose). Create a fading effect towards the outside. Bags under the eyes are sharp on the lower side and must be faded towards the upper side.

The parts of the face that have not been shaded now seem to have been brought forward. If the non-shaded parts are lightened, this will enhance the effect of bringing those areas "forward". Apply white make-up to the higher parts of the forehead, above the temple, next to the frown wrinkles on the wings of the nose and on top of the nose. The eyebag is also lightened a little.

For ageing we use Crème Make-up Pure because this works out easily and has good fluidic properties.

The shading and lightening must blend into the basic colour in a natural way. If necessary, blur the segments and lines that are to be faded with the fingers or a dry make-up sponge. You do this with a dabbing action, without wiping.
