How to activate and apply

Add a small amount of clean water or suitable face-paint sealer to the surface of the cake. Work the product with a brush or sponge until it develops a smooth, creamy consistency, then apply to clean skin. Let the first colour become touch dry before adding another layer.

Pair red with white for highlights, black for strong outlines and shadows, yellow or orange for fiery blends, or pink for softer details.

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.

Removal and safety

Remove gently with water and soap, makeup remover or suitable makeup wipes. Check the current packaging before use for ingredients, directions, placement guidance and safety information. Patch test before use, avoid irritated or broken skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
