Grimas | Boxer

Apply the Derma Wax in a curve from the forehead to the cheek. Model it and dab it off as usual.
Smooth the edges flat so that grease and moisture can not get underneath. Smooth the Derma Wax surface and edges off with the fingertip, using a little bit of Grimas Cleansing Cream. Dab all over with a dry, clean make-up sponge. Doing this, you remove the excess Cleansing Cream and you create a skin-texture effect. Powder the whole with a make-up sponge with Grimas Transparent Powder to matt and fix it; then turn the sponge over and continue dabbing with the clean side until the excess powder has been removed.

CLEANSING CREAM / SKINCARE CREAM = Cleansing Cream

DERMA WAX = Derma Wax

= Transparent Powder

COLOURING THE SKIN

In this example we are using Crème Make-up Pure, as this can be applied easily and blends beautifully. Keep the front of the nose broad by working out the light colour up to the side of the nose. The nose now looks bigger than it is. Then work according to the principles of highlighting/shading to obtain more expression. By using a dark colour up against the light colour, the light part comes extra in prominence.

Apply blue Crème Make-up at the corner of the eye and dark red make-up on the sunken parts. Work it out, making sure that the colours blend. You can then tone down the colours using yellow make-up. You can also use the yellow colour to make the area around the eye look somewhat more swollen. You colour the part of the skin below the eyebrows yellow as well to create an overhanging effect.

FINISHING

To create an 'open wound', the Derma Wax construction has to be 'cut open' with the sharp side of a Derma Wax spatula. Lubricate the tip of the spatula with a little bit of Cleansing Cream. This will allow the spatula to slide more easily through the Derma Wax, preventing it from sticking to the spatula. Make a cut in the Derma Wax using the sharp side of the spatula.

First you colour the wound black, using a brush, to suggest depth. Then apply a little dark red Crème Make-up and finally add Filmblood or Blood.
