Fake sweat TV Tears

Used by actors and actresses when needed in a performance on Stage or in front of cameras. Use a brush to leave a bead of liquid that hangs for an extended length of time. The more you add, the bigger the beads will be. This remains in a thick liquid form for a very long time. You can add a drop near the corner of an eye to create a tear effect. For a lot of droplets or beads, spray this from a small spray bottle.

Spirit gum Instructions

1. Clean and dry the area of the skin where you wish to apply the spirit gum.

2. Apply an even coat over the entire area using the brush that accompanies the spirit gum. (Less is best)

3. Apply the prosthetic or hair piece on the area quickly before the spirit gum dries. Press and hold for one to two minutes to ensure that it is in place.

How To Apply Foundation

Select a few colors that seem close to your natural skin tone. Celebre HD Pro makeups have a large selection of colors for most any skin tone. Apply foundation by putting a few small dots (less is best) on your forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. If you don't want all over coverage, apply just in the needed areas.

Dampen a sponge and gently distribute the foundation across your face. Check jaw line and hairline to make sure foundation is well blended. Use pads of fingers and press gently all over your face. The heat from your fingers will help in the blending process. Don't avoid this step. Some makeup artist will warm a small amount of makeup on the back of their wrist before applying for this purpose.

Go to a natural light source and check your application. Any problem areas will stand out so that they can be attended to.

If your freckles are light, don't even try to cover them up. Show them off by using a sheer foundation. If you happen to have the darker ones that you just can't live with, choose a cream foundation to cover and even out skin tones.

I always apply foundation with a wet sea sponge. I like this variety even more than the little wedges that are available. When wet, the sponge promises a sheer layer of coverage. Try it both ways to see which you prefer.

Using loose powder

Loose powder is a great option to keep in your home makeup kit. Use a large powder puff to pat on a light layer after you apply your base make-up. Use a large brush to gently remove any excess powder that lingers on your face before heading out the door. Loose powder is ideal for oily skin since it contains oil absorbing ingredients that can offset stubborn shine. If you want a more natural look, apply loose powder to the oilier t-zone only. The biggest disadvantage to loose powder is the fact that it can be quite messy. This is not one you want to carry in your traveling makeup case or purse.

Using pressed powder

While loose powder gives a smooth, even look to the skin and covers minor imperfections nicely, it tends to be messy. For this reason, it pays to invest in a good pressed powder you can use for touch-ups throughout the day. A pressed powder compact is easy to carry around without fear of destroying your pocketbook or spilling the powder all over your brand new outfit. If you have oily skin, a quick sweep with the pressed powder can quickly remove the shine. For a softer, more natural look, apply pressed powder with a large brush, powder puff or the sponge that's provided in some compacts.

Using Barrier Spray

Lightly mist from approximately 8 inches directly onto the skin or over finished makeup. Remove with soap and water. After use, pump warm water through nozzle to clean. Do not spray in the eyes.
