Before starting, you ensure your hands and nails are well cleaned. File your nails if necessary, so that there are no snags. By doing this you prevent damages on the face and risk of infection.
Always work using clean materials (sponges, brushes, spatulas, water bowls) and change the water regularly.
Get the subject to put on any clothes beforehand that have to be put on over the head. Protect your models clothing with a hairdressing cape or a towel.
To create the effect of Asian eyes, you conceal the natural eyebrows and you replace them by eyebrows drawn with eyeliner, higher and in a different shape to the natural eyebrows.
Grimas Eyebrow Plastic is a transparent wax that is used for covering up eyebrows.
Grimas Eyebrow Plastic is a transparent wax that is used for covering up eyebrows. The texture adheres to the skin well and remains elastic.
Use the convex rounded side of the Derma Wax Spatula to take the Eyebrow Plastic out of the jar. By scraping it out, you already make the texture a bit flexible.
Thick eyebrows: comb the eyebrows against the direction of the hairs with an eyebrow brush. Then use the brush to apply Eyebrow Plastic against the direction of the hairs, after which the brush can be used to smooth the hairs in the natural direction. Eyebrow Plastic can then be applied as per the technique for thin eyebrows.
Then dab it all over with a clean Make-up Sponge. This gives a matt effect and also adds a skin-structure effect.
Now apply a base using Camouflage Make-up Pure. Apply the make up on top of the Eyebrow Plastic too.
Take the Camouflage Make-up Pure out with a clean spatula and work from the spatula, or directly from the stick. Apply it with a slightly damp latex sponge or make-up sponge onto the skin.
To fix and matt white make-up, you can use white Colour Powder or Transparent Powder.
Colour Powder can be applied with a Grimas Velour Powder Puff, a Powder Puff or a Powder Rouge Brush. Gently tap the puff or brush on the back of the hand and then apply lightly on top of the make-up. Allow to settle in and remove the excess powder with the powder puff or brush.
Scrape a little black Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge loose along the edge of the cup using a spatula or the back of a brush. Take it up with a brush that has been moistened with Grimas Cleansing Lotion and mix it on the back of your hand. Now draw the eyebrows and suggest more narrow, slanted eyes by using eyeliner to draw lines slanting upwards.
To make the eyes appear slanted, you proceed as follows:
The upper lip and the corners of the mouth remain hidden by the white Camouflage Make-up. On the lower lip you draw with a Make-up Pencil the contours of the round pout. The lower lip is coloured with Lipstick (Pure).
You can remove the Camouflage with Grimas Cleansing Cream or Multi Remover Pure. Cleanse the skin afterwards with Grimas Cleansing Lotion.
The sponges are disposable so you can throw them away after use. If you do want to reuse them, first rinse them under the tap with some soap or shampoo or wash them in the washing machine (in a net bag or pillow case), set to at least 60°C. You can also wash the (Velour) Powder Puff in the washing machine.
You can clean brushes with water and soap or shampoo. The Powder and Blusher Brush is cleaned like this too. Put the moist hairs of the brushes back into shape by hand after washing. Dry the brushes lying flat on a towel and do not place them upright, since that causes the moisture to run down into the shaft.
