If you need to correct an error, did a cotton swab into water and then in a bit of soap before ou rub off your mistake. Greasepaint is more solid and covers the skin more densely than some water-based makeup, which can be streaky. Sometimes the colors available are more vivid. Before putting greasepaint on, you must thoroughly rub a thin layer of cold cream into your skin. The cream protects your skin and makes it easy to remove the greasepaint when you're finished.
Greasepaint comes in sticks, tubes, pencils, crayons, or cakes.
There are many ways to apply it. You can dab it on, then smooth it over large areas of skin with your fingers. You can roll one end of a cotton swab in it, then use the swab for drawint lines on your face. If the paint is in stick or pencil form, you can draw directly on yor face. After you have mad up with greasepaint, it's a good idea, but not essential, to pat your face with transparent face powder.
