Terms Setting the makeup: a process of keeping the makeup on longer and reducing smudging by sprinkling a small amount of setting powder onto a powder puff, folding the puff in half, and rubbing the powder into the puff, then lightly shaking off the excess powder from the puff and pressing the powder and puff into the makeup. Base color: a makeup color that is used to represent the overall desired color of the character. You may wish to remove the makeup colors from the plastic palette for ease of use. Stippling or patting makeup on: a process where cream makeup is applied using a sponge to apply the makeup with an up and down motion instead of a streaking motion. Application Instructions 1. Begin by using a brush and a small amount of white or black makeup from the makeup palette, or using an eyeliner pencil. A light shade or white pencil is preferable because it won’t discolor the base makeup application. Draw in the areas of design that are not going to be white. 2. Using the white makeup and a soft brush or white application sponge, following the pencil lines, apply the makeup to the areas needed. If the first application of makeup does not cover the skin to the desired intensity, you may apply a second coat by first setting the makeup with colorless powder and a powder puff, then patting a second layer of makeup over the top of the first. 3. Using a brush or sponge, fill in the remaning areas with the desired makeup colors. For example, you can use red for the mouth and nose, blue for the eyes, and pink (red and white mixed together) for the cheeks. Set the makeup with powder. 4. After the designed areas are completed and set with powder, you may wish to detail your design with a black outline or white highlights, such as black for the eyebrow design and white for the highlights on the nose and lips. 5. When you set your makeup with colorless powder, it may leave a slight haze. You can prevent this by using a damp powder brush or tissue and lightly brushing over the top of the makeup.
Adding a wig or using a temporary spray in colorant for the hair can leave you with the perfect compliment to you makeup.
Removal Use a small brush or cotton swab to rub a small amount of Cinema Secrets Makeup & Adhesive Remover onto the skin. Be careful when working around the eyes, to not get any remover in the eyes. Rinse the skin using a towel and warm water.
