About this makeup: As with cosmetic, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction. A patch test is recommended. Apply a spot of product to inside elbow or wrist. leave for 30-6 minutes. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use. Before you begin: Cover a flat, steady work area with newspaper. Work in front of a well-lit mirror.

Prepare paper towers for cleaning up and cotton-tip swabs for minor fix-ups. Instructions: 1. Foundation: With fingertip, dot cream makeup onto face. Use sponge to spread makeup and pat it smooth and streak free. A thin foundation coat is usually better than a thick coat. 2. Color mixing: Add darker color to lighter color a little at a time until desired shade is reached. 3. Shading: To create a highlight, lay on a color lighter than the foundation and gently blend. Highlight areas: bridge of nose, cheekbones, chin, brow line. To create a shadow, lay on a color darker than foundation and gently blend. 4. Sponges: Use the contour sponge to spread makeup and to pat it smooth and streak free. To create an unshaven look: Use the black stipple sponge to pat black makeup onto cheeks and chin. To create a bruise: Pat on a layer of blue dots followed by a layer of red dots. 5. Crayons: For sharp lines and unmixed colors, remove a little foundation with cotton-swab and apply crayon color directly to exposed skin. For highlighting or shadowing over foundation, apply hard edges onto foundation and soften or blend with fingertip, sponge or cotton-tip swab. 6. Brush: Use brush for outlines, detail work and filling in smaller areas. 7. Cream makeup: Apply makeup to skin and blend with sponge or fingertips. Removal: This makeup washes off easily and completely with mild soap and warm water. It is best, however, to first remove excess makeup with a moist paper towel. Red may faintly stain skin. Gently wash skin once or twice a day. Do not rub hard.
