ART OF MOTION PICTURE MAKE-UP 159 3. Grease Paint Application — Squeeze about one-quarter of an inch of grease paint from the tube into the palm of the hand. Then with the tips of the fingers of the other hand apply the grease paint in "dibs and dabs," covering the face with little dots of grease paint until it acquires the appearance of a freckled face. Grease paint must be applied sparingly, too much will spoil your make-up. 4. Spreading Grease Paint — Now remove the grease paint from the hands and dip them into cool water, then with the finger tips moistened with water spread the grease paint over the face, blending it smoothly, evenly and thinly into the skin. The movement of the fingers should be from the center of the face outward. Keep dipping finger tips into water as it is essential to blend the grease paint in order to have a smooth and thin application. 5. Shadowing the Eyelids — Apply a thin film of lining color to the eyelids with the finger tips, using a light outward motion, blending it carefully upward and outward toward the eyebrows and the outer edge of the lids. No decided line should be visible. Only in special cases should a shadow be used on the lower lids. <.\ -y L^J 6. Penciling Eyes — Line the upper and lower lids by drawing a fine line with the dermatograph pencil where the eyelashes meet the eyelids. Draw this line outward and extend just a trifle, the smallest fraction of an inch. 7. Moist Rouge — Apply the rouge to the lips, being sure to give an application to the inside of the lips, so that when the mouth is open, smiling or talking, the line of the rouge will not be seen.
