Set out ready for use:
Towel / cape
Cotton buds
Tissues
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.
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 camouflage using Visagie Brush V4 to the crease of the eye-pouch. The yellowish undertone of colour IV5 has a neutralising effect.
In this example we are working with Camouflage Make-up. Apply it with a slightly damp latex sponge or make-up sponge onto the skin.
You touch up the eyebrow using Grimas Eyeshadow/Rouge in a suitable colour.
Hint: use for older skin preferably eye shadow colours in pastel shades for older skin.
Hint: preferably avoid black mascara, as that colour contrasts too sharply with older skin. A brown colour creates a more natural effect.
To prevent Lipstick (Pure) from running into any creases around the mouth, you can apply a thin layer of Grimas Camouflage Make-up Pure to the lips beforehand.
Using rouge you can highlight the 'sunken' part of the skin a bit more.
You can remove the make-up with Grimas Cleansing Cream or Cleansing Milk. 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.
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.
