Face Painting
Grimas offer a variety of safe cosmetic products that can be used for face and body painting on adults and children.
Water Make-Up (Pure)
Product description
Grimas Water Make-up (Pure)* is an unperfumed, gluten-free water-based make-up. It is intended for face-painting and body-painting. Water Make-up (Pure) is available in palettes of 6, 12 or 24 x 2.5ml cups. The colours are also available separately in boxes of 15, 25 and 60ml.
Base
Water Make-up (Pure) can be applied directly onto the skin, but you can also first apply a layer of Grimas Cake Make-up. This has the benefit of allowing the colours to be applied more evenly and more vividly and also that they are easier to remove later. Cake Make-up dries quickly and should not be mixed with Water Make-up (Pure).
Procedure
Water Make-up (Pure) works basically the same way as watercolour paints. Use a brush or a make-up sponge (for larger areas of skin) and a little water to make the surface of the colour soft and pasty. Do not use it when too dry, but do not use too much water. The Pearl shades such as silver and gold are slightly more grainy in texture and need slightly more water. Water Make-up (Pure) dries within 15 seconds. If you do not want the colours to mix, be sure to wait for the first layer to dry before continuing.
If you apply the make-up too thickly or in too many layers, you will end up with a cracking effect.
Regularly change the water you rinse your brushes in, preferably working with two water dishes: one for light and one for dark shades. Water Make-up (Pure) can also be applied to hair, as long as it has not been treated (perm, dye, bleach, henna).
Removal
Water Make-up (Pure) can be removed with Grimas Cleansing Cream or with soap and water (shampoo can also be used). Massage it in briefly and rinse off with lukewarm water. Do not use Afschmink, as this contains waxes and oils which actually adhere the Water Make-up to the skin. If a trace of colour is left on the skin, it can be removed with Grimas Cleansing Lotion.
If Water Make-up (Pure) gets onto clothing, wash it out first under the tap and then soak with a pre-wash detergent. Then wash as normal in the washing machine.
Polyglitter
Product description
Grimas Polyglitter is shiny loose glitter for various make-up purposes. Polyglitter is available in jars of 15ml and 30ml.
Procedure
Polyglitter can be applied directly onto the skin or on top of make-up using your fingers, a make-up sponge or a slightly moistened brush. For additional adhesion, apply a thin layer of Grimas Stubblepaste or Water-soluble Mastix.
Removal
Polyglitter can be removed with Grimas Cleansing Cream or with water and soap (shampoo can also be used). Massage it in briefly and rinse off with lukewarm water.
Tip Crème
Product description
Grimas Tip crème is a clear, glossy polyethylene glitter providing a quick-drying and easily washable gel texture. Its applications include face-painting. Contrary to what the name might suggest, the gel does not contain oils or waxes. Tip crème comes in an 8ml tube.
Procedure
Apply directly from the tube or with a brush. Tip crème can be applied directly onto the skin or into the hair. If Tip crème is applied on top of Water Make-up, you must work quickly and without rubbing. Do not apply the Tip crème as eye shadow, as the glitter can irritate the eyes.
Removal
Tip crème can be removed with Grimas Cleansing Cream or with soap and water.
Stars
Product description
Grimas Stars are glittery star-shaped aluminium decorations. Stars come in jars of 15ml and 30ml.
Procedure
Stars can be stuck directly onto the skin with Grimas Stubblepaste of Water-soluble Mastix. Stars can also be applied on top of make-up.
Do not apply the Stars as eye shadow: this can cause irritation.
Removal
The Stars can be removed with soap and water.
UV Make-Up
Product description
Grimas UV Make-up is a quick-drying fluorescent cream that illuminates under a black light (UV light). It is intended for effects on the skin. Available in 8 ml tubes.
Procedure
UV Make-up can be applied easily on top of other make-up, but loses its effect if it is mixed with other make-up. Apply directly from the tube or with a brush.
Removal
UV Make-up can be removed with Grimas Cleansing Cream or with soap and water (shampoo can also be used). Then cleanse the skin with Cleansing Lotion.
