Grimas Sint Set (Aging Palette)

Grimas Sint Set (Aging Palette)

The Grimas Sint Set (Aging Palette) is a small set of cream make-up for old age make-up: it makes a young face look older. It was put together for making up Sinterklaas, the Dutch Saint Nicholas, when the person playing him is younger than he should look. The set holds three shades of Crème Make-up Pure (white, dark brown and a light skin tone) and a pan of Fixing Powder.

What is the Sint Set?

Ageing a face works with shadow and light. On an older face the skin is sunken where there is little or no bone. You make those areas darker and you make the higher areas lighter with white. Crème Make-up Pure, also known as grease paint, suits this because it blends easily: the transitions flow into each other. The shades can be mixed and you can apply them opaque or sheer. Pure means, for Grimas, that it contains no chemical preservatives such as parabens. The make-up is gluten-free, unperfumed and dermatologically tested.

How do you use the set?

1. Cleanse and degrease the skin with Cleansing Lotion and dry with a tissue.
2. Take the cream make-up out of the pan with a clean spatula and soften it by rubbing it with your fingertip.
3. Use the dark shade on the areas that should look sunken: the eye sockets, the temples, the sides of the nose and under the cheekbones. Blend outwards with a flat brush.
4. Highlight with white: the higher parts of the forehead, above the temples, next to the frown lines, on the nostrils and on the bridge of the nose.
5. If you want broken veins, dab them on with a stipple sponge.
6. Apply the Fixing Powder, leave it to work for a moment and remove the excess with a powder brush.

A brush, a stipple sponge and a powder brush are not included in the set.

Setting and removing

Set with the Fixing Powder from the set. According to Grimas the powder gives a waterproof result if you leave it to work for a moment. Remove with Multi Remover Pure or cleansing cream. Then cleanse the skin with Cleansing Lotion.
