The shape, width and quality of the brush are to a great extent qualifying the effect you can achieve with it. For instance, round brushes are ideal for making curves and drawing curls. You draw straight lines preferably with a flat brush, keeping the handle of the brush pointed in the direction of the line. To draw a thin line, you do not necessarily need to use a narrow brush. You can also use the edge of a flat brush for that. This brush is also very convenient for making a thick line merge into a thin one, turning the brush on its side in one fluid action as you go automatically changes the line from thick to thinner. When you come to the end of a line, lift the brush from the skin in a single smooth movement.
Hint: to make beautiful, thin lines, you mix the Water Make-up with Cleansing Lotion instead of water.
Apply the Water Make-up into the hairline (do not forget the ears and the neck); this will prevent a mask-type effect.
To create a wide mouth, draw it in using a dark colour right over the cheeks. If you do not want the colours to mix, be sure to wait for the first layer to dry before applying another colour over it or up against it.
To create a wide mouth, draw it in using a dark colour right over the cheeks. You place a light colour up against it and then put a darker stripe around that, which highlights the lighter part further. Because the base of the face is light-coloured and you are also adding stripes around it, the rounded effect will be emphasised. Make the nostrils larger with the dark colour.
The more quickly you draw the line the straighter it will be, and the more pressure you apply on the brush, the thicker the line becomes. When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours.
