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.
Apply the make-up on clean skin, after the usual daily care (day cream or Grimas Under Make-up Base).
In this example we are working with a base of Grimas Foundation and for correction we use Camouflage Make-up. Red blotches you can neutralise using Camouflage Make-up with a green tint.
Correction Stick Pure can be applied directly to the skin.
Apply the make-up using the Visagie Brush V4.
Squeeze a little foundation out of the tube onto a clean spatula. Work from the spatula using a clean, dry latex sponge or a slightly moist make-up sponge, applying the foundation to the skin in a thin layer. Work the base out properly, up into the hairline, and do not forget the ears and neck. This is how you avoid a mask-like effect.
Apply a very thin layer of light-coloured camouflage to the deeper lines (naso-labial fold) and under the eyes. Work this out well and let it merge with the foundation base.
Correction Stick Pure can be applied directly to the skin.
Fix the make-up with plenty of Fixing Powder. Fixing Powder is transparent and does not influence the colour. Fixing 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 plentifully on top of the make-up.
Allow to settle in for a waterproof result and remove the excess powder with a Powder-Rouge Brush.
In principle, you apply a light-coloured eye shadow to the upper eyelid, a dark colour in the eye fold and a light colour to the eyebrow arch. Apply the light colour first using the applicator and touch up with a latex sponge.
Spread the eye shadow out on the back of your hand and then work from the hand to get the right amount.
Dark colours (for example in the fold of the upper eyelid) you apply with a brush.
Apply the mascara from where the eyelashes begin right to the ends of the upper and lower eyelashes with a rotating movement. If necessary, brush off with a clean, dry mascara brush afterwards to remove any lumps. Repeat applying the mascara until the desired result is achieved.
Scrape a little Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge loose 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.
Pearl Eye Shadow can also be applied as an eyeliner straight from the cup (also test on the hand first) and can easily be faded once it has dried.
Upper eyelash edge: pull the outer corner of the eye upwards a little, get the subject to close their eyes and use a brush to place the eyeliner against the upper eyelashes and apply it from the inner corner outwards. Do not start too close to the inner corner of the eye and stop at the outer corner of the eye. If you want to draw the eyeliner line further, do this while the eyes are open and do not pull the skin. Let the line run a little upwards from a quarter of the way from the end.
Use a brush to take out Eye Shadow/Rouge in the desired colour and determine the colour intensity on the hand before you apply the powder. You comb the eyebrow hair (for example with a clean, dry mascara roller or eyebrow comb) in a downward direction and fill in the upper edge. Use an MS2 or MS4 brush for this (with obliquely cut hairs)
Hint: you can also use a brush (for instance R4 or M4) of which you yourself have cut the hairs diagonally.
Work from the centre to the outer areas and do not begin right where it starts. Then you push the hairs upwards and fill in the eyebrow a little from the bottom.
Grimas Make-up Pencils can be used as an eye pencil (eyeliner), eyebrow pencil or lip pencil. If the tip feels hard on the skin and won't draw properly, warm the tip of the pencil in your hand or sharpen the tip again.
Draw with a pencil to draw the outline of the lips. Work from the outside inwards for the upper lip, and from the inside outwards for the lower lip. Use the pencil to correct the contours and the lipstick will then also not run so quickly
Take the Lipstick (Pure) onto a spatula (even if you are working from a stick) and apply it with a lip brush. First colour the middle of the lips and then colour the edges, working from the outside inwards. Dab the result with a tissue to matt it off.
You can remove the make-up with Grimas Cleansing Cream or Cleansing Milk.
Massage Cleansing Milk in with the fingers and remove with a cotton wool pad or a tissue. Cleanse the skin afterwards with Grimas Cleansing Lotion.
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 also wash the (Velour) Powder Puff in the washing machine. The loose sponge tip of the Applicator should be replaced regularly, but you can also wash it with soap or shampoo a few times.
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.
