Set out ready for use:
Towel / cape
Tissues
Cotton buds
Cotton wool pads
Water bowls
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.
Protect your models clothing with a hairdressing cape or a towel.
By playing with light and dark eye shadow colours you can give the eye an ideal shape.
The general rule is: light brings things into prominence, dark makes them recede.
Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge Pearl is a glossy, compressed powder for use as eyeshadow or rouge. Take the required colour of eye shadow out using a brush or applicator. Spread the eye shadow out on the back of your hand and then work from the hand to get the right amount.
In principle, you apply a light colour to the upper eyelid, a dark colour in the eye fold and a very light colour to the eyebrow arch (highlight).
Apply the light colour first using the brush and touch up with a latex sponge.
You can make an eyeliner with Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge and a little Cleansing Lotion.
Scrape a little Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge loose along the side 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.
Apply the eyeliner with an MR 1 or MR 2 brush.
You can also proceed as follows: let the eyes open and put a dot on the outside next to the eye in an imaginary line extending from the lower edge of the eye. Reckon with the eyelid fold when doing so. Get the model to close their eyes again and extend the line already drawn to the point marked.
Hint: if the eyes are totally encircled, they will look smaller. To avoid this, draw the lower line up to approximately the centre of the eye.
Grimas Mascara is a waterproof mascara. This extremely waterproof mascara is less suitable for people with contact lenses.
Apply the mascara from where the eyelashes begin right to the ends of the upper and lower eyelashes with a rotating movement. If required, you can apply mascara for a second or third time by brushing along the eyelashes using the brush in the direction of the outer corner of the eye. Repeat applying the mascara until the desired result is achieved. 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.
If required, you can apply mascara for a second or third time by brushing along the eyelashes using the brush in the direction of the outer corner of the eye. This makes the eyes appear more almond-shaped.
You can remove the make-up with Grimas Cleansing Cream or Cleansing Milk.
Remove the Mascara with a cotton wool pad with Grimas Cleansing Milk, Make-up Remover or Multi Remover Pure.
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. 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. 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.
