SHADOWING AND HIGHLIGHTING

By shadowing and lightening you create a depth effect. You work according to the aging principle:
Important areas for shading are the eye sockets, the temples, the side of the nose and below the cheekbones. The vertical frown wrinkle and the naso-labial ('nose-lip') fold are also important areas to shadow. You draw the lines with a flat sable-hair brush. By placing it obliquely on the skin you get a sharp edge on one side and a fading effect on the other side. To determine which side should be sharp and which side faded, you start from the centre of the face (nose). Create a fading effect towards the outside.

You can also work with shadows in the Derma Wax structure around the eye and in the warts to suggest depth. In this example we are using Crème Make-up Pure, as this can be applied easily and blends beautifully.

DERMA WAX = Derma Wax
CRÈME MAKE-UP PURE = Crème Make-up Pure
If the non-shaded parts are lightened, this will enhance the effect of bringing those areas "forward".
Apply white make-up to the higher parts of the forehead, above the temple, next to the frown wrinkles on the wings of the nose and on top of the nose. The eyebag is also lightened a little. Between the higher parts of the brow some subtle shadowing is done to generate more depth. You also let the warts stand out more by making them lighter.

The shading and lightening must blend into the basic colour in a natural way. If necessary, blur the segments and lines that are to be faded with the fingers or a dry make-up sponge. You do this with a dabbing action, without wiping.
To fix and mattify, you can powder the Crème Make-up Pure off with Grimas Fixing Powder or Make-up Powder.

ATTACHING EYEBROWS

Use Cleansing Lotion to cleanse the areas where you are going to be sticking Wool Crepe eyebrows. Using Grimas Mastix Extra (or Mastix Watersoluble in a training course situation), you attach the eyebrows step by step.

Protect the eyes by closing them and covering them with a tissue. Absolutely do not use on children near or above the eyes.

Fix them on top of the natural eyebrows. Apply glue to the part of the skin concerned and press the cut surface/obliquely cut side into the adhesive. You use scissors to create the desired model for the eyebrows. If necessary, open the structure a little and model them using the end of a pin-tail comb or the back of a brush. Repeat the process of cutting and opening if necessary until the desired result has been achieved.

REMOVING THE PRODUCTS

If you have worked with Grimas Mastix Watersoluble, you can remove the Wool Crepe with lukewarm water and a little soap if necessary. Wool Crepe that has been stuck on with Mastix Extra you remove with Mastix Remover. You can then already pull some of the hairs loose and remove them with a tissue. The remaining hairs and the adhesive you remove with a cotton wool pad and Mastix Remover.
Scrape the Derma Wax off the skin with the spatula. Then massage Grimas Multi Remover Pure or Cleansing Cream into the skin and remove the material with a tissue. Cleanse the skin afterwards with Grimas Cleansing Lotion.
