Greasepaint: Professional Crème Make-up for Grime & SFX
Greasepaint, also known as crème make-up or vetschmink, is an essential product for any make-up artist or special effects professional. This versatile make-up can be applied directly to the skin without water or other liquids and is available in a wide range of bright colors and natural skin tones. Ideal for theater, street performances, circus acts, TV, film, and photography.
After application, greasepaint should be set with a setting powder to prevent smudging and to make the make-up waterproof. Use the Mehron Powder Puff Applicator along with Mehron Proface Setting Powder or Ben Nye Neutral Set Powder. The make-up can be easily removed with a make-up remover or cleanser.
Why Choose Greasepaint?
Greasepaint, also known as crème make-up or vetschmink, offers endless possibilities for professional make-up artists, special effects creators, and performers. With its high pigmentation and rich, creamy texture, greasepaint is perfect for creating vivid colors and detailed effects. Whether you're working on a theater production, film set, or photo shoot, greasepaint delivers stunning results.
How to Apply Greasepaint?
Applying greasepaint correctly requires the right technique and tools. Here are some essential steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the skin is clean and dry before applying greasepaint. This ensures even coverage.
- Application: Use the Mehron Face Smoothie Sponge or the Mehron Non Latex Foam Sponge to apply the crème make-up evenly to the skin. These sponges are ideal for achieving smooth coverage and precise application of greasepaint.
How to Set Greasepaint?
Setting greasepaint is crucial to ensure the make-up stays in place, doesn't smudge, and becomes waterproof:
- Powdering: Use the Mehron Powder Puff Applicator along with Mehron Proface Setting Powder or Ben Nye Neutral Set Powder. Thoroughly powder the greasepaint to set it and prevent it from moving or smudging. This also provides a matte finish that looks professional and is resistant to heat and moisture. If a white cast appears over your powdered creation, you can easily revive the colors by misting with a spray bottle.
How to Remove Greasepaint?
After a long day of performing or filming, removing greasepaint is just as important as applying it:
- Removal: Use a good make-up remover or cleanser to remove the crème make-up. Start by applying make-up remover to a cotton pad and gently wiping over the area to remove the greasepaint. Make sure to use a product that is suitable for removing oil-based make-up to clean the skin without causing irritation.
- Cleansing: Follow up by washing your face with water and a mild facial cleanser to remove any remaining greasepaint and to hydrate the skin.
