Will eliminate the need for matching since both surfaces will be masked by its application.
A
Opaque Cosmetics
12
Q
Examine a thick, smooth sample.
A
To check the color of the wax with the applied coloring
13
Q
- The color of the wax should be a little less vivid (slightly lighter) than the applied coloring.

A
Multi-Color Matching
25
Basic colors of wax available from some manufacturers.
* White
* Yellow
* Red
* Brown
"Color Complex"
26
Another technique for wax coloring.
Cosmetics Mixed with Wax
27
The same transparent cream cosmetic or pigment powder used for the complexion coloring may be mixed with the wax.
When no Discoloration is Involved
28
Transparent liquid cosmetics for example have a vehicle not mixable with wax (alcohol).
Not all Cosmetics can be Mixed With Wax
29
* Minor surface restorations (razor burns, sutured incisions)
* Large area restoration
For Oil Based Transparent Cream Cosmetics Mixed with Wax
30
Wax mixed with a unitary cream cosmetic with an oily vehicle.
Minor Surface Restorations (Razor burns, sutured incisions).
31
Wax mixed with coordinating oil based complexion compounds allow the greatest latitude for color matching.
Large Area Restoration
32
* To stimulate the denser (non-translucent) type of lip wax
* Or ornamental purposes
* For non-ornamental purposes
Concersion of Surface Restorer Wax into Lip Wax
33
Mix cream rouge with restorative wax.
* If a firmer wax is used, compensate by adding a small amount of white petroleum jelly.
To stimulate the dense (non-translucent) Type of Lip-Wax
34
* Brillant yellowish-red
* Brownish-red
* Pure red
For Ornamental Purposes (for lips) use:
35
* Light, medium, or dark complexion red
* To mottle- apply several dabs of brown
For Non-Ornamental Treatment (for lips) use:
36
* Mucous membranes
* Integumentary part
Where to Apply Wax and Cosmetics (on lips)
37
* Wax- lip wax
* Cosmetic- lip cosmetic
Mucous Membranes
38
* Wax- flesh-colored wax
* Cosmetic- complexion cosmetics
Integumentary Portion
39
The omission of the irregulary spaced vertical lines of the mucous membranes.
* Fixed by vertical application
Major Fault of Lip Waxing
40
* Eliminates sharp margins
* Reinstates vertical lines
Vertical Application With the Brush
41
Another technique for coloring wax.
Pigment Powder Mixed with Wax
42
The range of available colored waxes may be inadequate.
* Wax may be mixed with:
* Earthen pigments
* Pigment powders
For medium-dark and dark-brown African-American complexions
43
* Add the pigment powder progressively
* Add a small amount of white petroleum jelly if necessary to counteract the powder.
To Achieve the Correct Color
44
Performed on abrasions, skin slip, etc., where the tissue discoloration will "show" through the wax unless cosmetically masked.
* Trim any rough edges which may protrude through the applied wax.
Cosmetic Undercoat Applied Before Waxing
45
* Mot satisfactory type
* Opaque Cream Cosmetic
Types of Undercoats
46
A quick drying opaque liquid.
Mot Satisfactory Type
47
Used before opaque liquids where available.
* Most susceptible to accidental removal when applying wax.
* Must be dried with a powder before applying wax.
Opaque Cream Cosmetic (As undercoat)
48
The same as or slightly lighter than the complexion color.
Color of the Undercoat
49
* A small soft brush
* Cream cosmetic
* Spray undercoat
Application of the Undercoat
50
Used for any type except spray.
A small, soft brush
51
Should be powdered
Cream cosmetic
52
Even with a templet (frisket) the spray may exceed the area.
* Before the undercoat dries, feather it out.
Spray Undercoat
53
Shoud closely approximate the applied complexion coloring.
Color of the Wax
54
* Any removed undercoat should be repaired.
* Do not spread the wax across the area.
* spreading may remove the undercoat
* Creates a flat contour
Application of Wax on the Undercoat
55
* Place the flattened mass of wax in the middle of the area.
* With a spatula, taper the wax toward the margins.
Correct Application of Wax on an Undercoat
56
Restorative wax is primarily a grease-like material, so in general:
* Water or alcohol vehicle cosmetics are ineffective.
* Oil-like vehicle cosmetics will be compatible.
Cosmetic Application Upon a Wax Surface
57
* Firming time
* Dusting with powder
* Liquid sealer applied over wax
Methods of Conditioning a Wax Surface for Cosmetics
58
Allow the wax to return to its original consistency
* if the surface was polished with a wax solvent, allow 10-15 minutes for it to evaporate.
* If massage cream or petroleum jelly was used on fingers and instruments to prevent sticking, brush the surface with a volatile chemical to remove the excess oil.
Firming Time
59
Done when the surface is tacky or slightly oily.
* Dust with loose drying powder and remove minutes later.
* When semi-opaque cream cosmetics are used- a massage cream base is required, so an oily surface is no problem.
Dusting with Powder
60
Is necessary if opaque liquid cosmetics are to be used.
* Simulate pores and wrinkles before sealing.
Liquid Sealer Applied Over Wax
61
Applications are done carefully to avoid damage to the wax surface.
* Liquid cosmetics
* Cream cosmetics
* Powder cosmetics
Teqchniques of Cosmetic Application on the Wax Surface
62
Use a soft brush.
Liquid Cosmetics
63
* Warm cosmetics by spreading thinly on the palm, add massage cream if necessary.
* Apply to the surface by tapping with the finger and blending with a soft texturizing brush.
* Large Restorations- Apply cosmetics in smears with a soft brush and blend with a soft texturizing brush.
Cream Cosmetics
64
* Thinly coat the surface with massage cream.
* Apply powder with a powder buff (soft brush)
Powder Cosmetics
65
* Usually color adjustments to the wax surface are made with the same cosmetic applied to the skin.
* However, if necessary, other types of cosmetics may be used on the wax.
* Unitary cream compounds (oil base)
* Coordinating compounds
Substitution of Cosmetics for Application on Wax
66
Are more dense and have greater influence on color.
Unitary Cream Compounds (oil base)
67
Allow greater latitude becuase the proportion of each compound can be altered.
Coordinating Compounds
68
Adjustments are difficult at best.
* Blotting the surface with a damn towel to remove powder may be helpful.
* Corrections involving red- Apply a dry rouge
* Dense cosmetic creams:
* remove powder
* Thin cosmetic with massage cream and apply
* Repowder
Adjustments of the Color of Wax After Powdering
69
* Generally, furrows (wrinkles) should be drawn before pores are simulated.
* Pores can be simulated before, after or simultaneous with complexion coloring
