Set out ready for use:
Towel / cape
Tissues
Water bowls
Cotton wool pads
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.
First degrease and clean the skin you are going to be working on with Grimas Cleansing Lotion. Then wipe dry with a tissue.
With a dry or sensitive skin, you can apply Grimas Under Make-up Base. Allow 10 minutes for it to be absorbed before you continue.
Grimas Camouflage Make-up Pure is a strongly covering make-up for various make-up purposes. It is ideal for covering up extreme colour differences.
A birthmark that is bright red you camouflage with 408. A birthmark that verges on purple you camouflage with IV5.
Take the Camouflage Make-up out with a clean spatula. Rubbing it with your fingertip will make it softer and easier to handle.
Then apply camouflage in the subject own skin colour. To determine the correct colour, you can mix it on a plastic spatula and test it on the skin, if necessary.
If desired, you can make the texture softer and affect the colour by blending the Camouflage make-up with Crème Make-up or Foundation, for instance.
Apply the make-up using a slightly moist sponge.
Use a clean Velour Powder Puff to take loose (or compact) powder up from the box, dab the excess powder off on the hand and then apply the powder with a dabbing motion.
You can remove the Camouflage with Grimas Cleansing Cream, Multi Remover Pure or Make-up Remover. Cleanse the skin afterwards with Grimas Cleansing Lotion.
If the skin feels dry after cleaning, you can apply a care cream.
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.
