Basics


Makeup Preparation

Before you begin applying your makeup, you should take the following into consideration for the safety of yourself and those wearing the makeup:

  1. Clean the face - splash the face with cold water and wipe it dry.
  2. Put a thin layer of Vaseline® on the face to allow makeup to be removed easier.
  3. Do not apply makeup in heavy layers.
  4. Use flour and dab it over the makeup with a powder puff to help prevent the makeup from smearing.


Makeup Removal

Most makeup can be removed by taking a shower using soap and warm water. Some makeup may stain the body, skin, hair, teeth, and nails for several days while it will stain some fabrics permanently. Johnson's® Baby Shampoo can help to remove glues and makeup from the skin and hair. Commercial removers should be used for nails. Makeup will be removed from the teeth after thoroughly brushing for several days.


Prevent Gelatin from Drying

To prevent gelatin from drying out, mix five drops of only red food coloring with 1/4 teaspoon (60ml) of water, and add in one drop of only yellow and blue food coloring. Now add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of very hot water and then add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of gelatin. Modify it by adding 6 drops of the color mixture (red, blue, and yellow) that I previously mentioned, with 1 teaspoon (5ml) of very hot water and 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) of glycerin. Add this mixture to 1 tablespoon (15ml) of gelatin and stir quickly.


Additional Makeup Colors

Below are additional colors you can make using equal portions of colors and adding any additional color as needed for your desired effect. You will need to get food paste for white and possibly black coloring.
