Using Alcohol Activated Makeup

[AnimeLore]

OK, I just bought the Kryolan's Body Illustration alcohol activated make up and the 99% alcohol activator. Now the question is exactly how do I use it.

From my understanding, you use a bit of the activator and a brush to use the make up, apply it and let it dry on your skin to make it work. then to take it off, you use a bit more of the activator.

Am I correct?

Please let me know so I don't mess it up. Thanks!

Yup. It dries almost instantly on the skin. I like to dip the brush in small cup of alcohol and then dab it into the makeup. It's sorta like waterpaints as a kid, only they work much much better. Also it's not really an issue of waiting for it to dry. The heat from your skin causes 99% alcohol to dry almost immediately. If it drips down your skin, then your ratio of alcohol to makeup is too high.

Removal can be done with alcohol. I tend to use a combination of alcohol and soap and water. Then I think it's good to use a nice moisturizer on the skin as the alcohol is pretty drying. Actually it's really a good idea to use moisturizer on the skin beforehand too, likewise with any makeup application.
