Why Choose a Global Colours Precision Cake?

This professional-quality, water-activated cake delivers strong colour while allowing you to control the consistency. Use it for fine linework, smooth bases, layered details and full-body colour. Once touch dry, it creates a smooth, smudge-resistant finish.

How to Activate and Apply

Add a small amount of clean water or suitable face-paint sealer to the cake. Work the product with a brush or sponge until it develops a smooth, creamy consistency, then apply to clean skin. Allow each layer to become touch dry before adding further colour or detail. If the colour appears pale or watery, reduce the amount of water and continue working the cake.

Use a fine or filbert brush for details, hearts and petals, or a damp sponge for fast, even coverage.

How Long Does It Take to Dry?

Thin, correctly activated layers are generally touch dry in under a minute. Heavier application, excess water, temperature and humidity can increase drying time, so check that each layer feels touch dry before adding detail or another colour.

Compact Magnetic 20g Format

The 20g cake has a magnetic backing that adheres to metal surfaces, making it practical for compatible metal face-paint palettes and professional kits.

Removal and Care

Remove gently with water and soap, makeup remover or suitable makeup wipes. Repeat the cleaning process if strong or layered colour remains rather than scrubbing the skin. Let the cake dry fully before closing or storing it.
