Grimas | Chinese masks

You can apply Grimas Water Make-up (Pure) directly to the skin, but you may also choose to apply a layer of Grimas Cake Make-Up first. This offers the advantage that the colours of the Water Make-Up colours are more even and more intense (especially the lighter tints and silver) and that in addition, these colours can be removed more easily from the skin later on.

Water Make-up works just like watercolour paint. When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours. 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.

WATER MAKE-UP (PURE) = Water Make-up Pure

CAKE MAKE-UP = Cake Make-up

Hint: to make beautiful, thin lines, you mix the Water Make-up with Cleansing Lotion instead of water.

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. Then extend it the other way, from the inner corner of the eye downwards. Let the line run back towards the corner of the eye, ending at the beginning of the lower eyelash edge.

To make the eyes stand out more, you can draw black around them.

When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours. 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.

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.

REMOVING THE PRODUCTS

You can lightly wash the skin with lukewarm water and soap (or shampoo) to already remove a great part. Massage it in briefly and rinse off with lukewarm water.
Scrubbing too much with water and soap or shampoo can irritate the skin.

You can clean the skin further if required with a cleansing milk or cleansing cream. Massage it in gently and remove it with a soft tissue.

Do not use Afschmink, as this contains waxes and oils which actually adhere the Water Make-up to the skin.
Do not use ready-to-use cleansing cloths.

If a trace of colour is left on the skin, it can be removed with Grimas Cleansing Lotion. If the skin feels dry after cleaning, you can apply a care cream.
