The basics Created for Bill Corso, the Character Contours Palette is a collection of ten brand new colors in our Washes formula. The benefits The colors can easily be applied with a brush, sponge or mascara wand. Use it alone, or mix the colors with any of the other Skin Illustrator tones to create your own unique blend of color. (These colors use the translucent washes formula, as opposed to the original Skin Illustrator formula). The uses These are created to be applied for a buildable, more translucent painting style. Although these colors are not as opaque as those traditionally found in our palettes they still maintain the same long lasting staying power. The bottom line You must use Skin Illustrator Activator, Skin Illustrator Slow Activator, or 99% alcohol to activate the color pigment. Do Not use 70% alcohol, MEK, acetone, water or any other solvent. Removal is easy with PPI's Telesis Super Solv or Telesis Makeup Remover.
