Set out ready for use:
Towel / cape
Water bowls
Tissues
Cotton wool pads
Do not use ready-to-use cleansing cloths.
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.
For ageing we use Crème Make-up Pure because this works out easily and has good fluidic properties.
When you are experienced in ageing you can also choose to apply a base of Cake Make-up and shade and lighten with Eyeshadow/Rouge on this.
For the dark skin a D-colour is used as base make-up because this does not grow gray. Work out the base on the ears and in the neck. Take the Crème Make-up Pure out with a clean spatula and work from the spatula. Apply it with a slightly damp latex sponge or make-up sponge onto the skin.
When you want to age a fair skin, you first shadow and than lighten. With a dark skin you start right away with lightening. You can often leave out the shadowing.
On the dark skin lightening is done with yellow because white gets gray. Apply the yellow make-up on the higher situated parts of the face. Depending on the desired effect and the situation (nearby, far off), you can apply stronger or less strong lines.
On dark skin you can best mattify and/or fix the make-up with Colour Powder. Grimas Colour Powder is a loose, slightly tinted, water-repellent powder in a range of colours. 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.
You can remove Crème Make-up Pure with Grimas Cleansing Cream, Multi Remover Pure or Make-up Remover. Cleanse the skin afterwards with cleansing lotion.
Hair that has been coloured using Water Make-up (Pure) can be washed with shampoo.
Store the make-up in a dry and cool place until the next time you use it.
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 clean brushes with water and soap or shampoo. 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.
