Set out ready for use:
Towel / cape
Tissues
Before starting, you ensure your hands and nails are well cleaned. With this you avoid damaging the skin and avoids the risk of infections.
Always work using clean materials (sponges, brushes, spatulas, water bowls) and change the water regularly.
Protect your models clothing with a hairdressing cape or a towel.
First degrease and clean the skin you are going to be working on with Grimas Cleansing Lotion. Then wipe dry with a tissue.
Mix a green and blue make-up and draw a varicose vein with a thin brush.
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 horizontal cut in the Derma Wax structure.
To add a suggestion of depth to the 'wound', colour the bottom of the wound using black make-up. Then you colour the inner side of the wound with dark red make-up (Grimas Water Make-up Pure or Crème Make-up Pure).
Finally, you add Grimas Blood or Filmblood to get the required effect.
Grimas Blood has a light and syrupy texture and a deep red colour. Apply directly from the tube or with a brush.
There are different shades of Filmblood: from light red (oxygen-rich blood) to dark red (oxygen-poor blood). You can apply it directly from the bottle.
Hint: Carefully put on an old pair of pantyhose and make a hole where the 'damaged vein' is.
Massage Grimas Multi Remover Pure or Cleansing Cream into the skin.
Scrape the Derma Wax off the skin with the spatula.
Repeat this.
If a slight film forms on the skin, cleanse it 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 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.
