The PXP light-shade cake makeup is a beige water-based makeup cake by PXP Professional Colours, designed as a skin-coloured base layer for the face and body. During carnival or at a themed party, you can use it to first create an even base, after which you build up your character with other colours and effects. The shade is light beige with a warm, brownish undertone.

Why choose a skin-coloured pancake instead of a bright colour?
You use a skin-coloured pancake such as this light shade to first make the skin an even colour, while a bright colour covers the entire face in one striking shade. That difference determines your choice. If you want a face that still looks human, with lines, shadows or a special effect on top, then you start with this beige base. Work with a slightly damp sponge and build up the colour layer by layer, so that no streaks are formed. A sponge that is too wet makes the layer thin and patchy.
A light base shade under your complete costume
A base layer in a light skin tone looks best when it continues down to the neck and behind the ears, so that you do not see an edge at the collar of your costume. If you are wearing a wig or hat, apply the makeup before putting it on, so that the hairline remains clean. You can then use a darker brown shade to add shadows under the cheekbones or wrinkles for an older character. You then only use a bright colour for accents, such as the lips or cheeks.
