PXP cake makeup Light Sun Skintone is a skin-coloured water-based pancake makeup that gives your face a warm, lightly tanned base colour. Use it as a base coat when creating a sun-tanned character for Carnival, or when you need your neck and arms to match the colour of your face. The PXP logo is embossed in the makeup cake: a mask with wavy hair, with the words Professional Colours and Pancake underneath.

When should you choose a skin tone instead of a bright colour?
Choose a skin tone such as Light Sun when you want your skin to look natural, but warmer or more tanned than your own complexion. Bright aqua colours are instead used for characters with an unnatural colour, such as a monster or fantasy figure. Because this cake makeup is water-based, dampen a sponge, rub it over the cake, and apply it in thin layers. If you want more coverage, simply apply a second layer after the first has dried.
Light Sun as a base for your character
A tanned look only looks convincing if no line is visible along the jawline, so blend the shade over your neck, ears and the backs of your hands. This gives a beachcomber, adventurer or sailor a skin tone that matches their costume. Then add accents with a darker shade of brown in the hollows of your cheeks and along your nose, so that your face does not look flat. A few light dots on your cheekbones create the effect of sunlight on your skin.
Order the PXP Light Sun cake makeup and create a face for Carnival that has a single warm shade from your chin to your hairline.
