PXP Make-up Mother of pearl antique pink

PXP Pearl Antique Pink face paint is a water-based face paint with a pearlescent sheen in a muted, antique pink shade. You can immediately see what makes this colour different in the box: a fine shimmer that lies between mauve and antique pink and softly reflects the light. Use it during Carnival for a shiny accent on your face or as a base for a fairytale look.

Shine, colour and size of the pearl paint box

• The colour is antique pink, a muted mauve shade with a pearlescent sheen.
• You can choose between two sizes: a small 10-gram box or a large 30-gram box.
• It is aqua makeup, which you activate with water and apply with a brush or sponge.
• The colour is easy to apply and remove.
• The paint cake comes in a round, black box with orange PXP letters around the edge.
• The brand is PXP Professional Colours.

When should you choose pearl paint instead of a matte colour?

Choose pearl paint for areas that catch the light, such as the cheekbones, eyelids and the line above your eyebrows, while a matte colour works better for larger areas. The shine stands out under party lights, so a thin layer is all you need. Because it is aqua makeup, dampen your brush or sponge and rub it over the paint cake until the colour comes loose. It is better to use too little water than too much, as a wet brush makes the layer transparent. After the party, remove the colour with water and a little soap.

Creating a fairy or princess look with antique pink

For a fairy look, blend the pearl paint across your eyelids up to the temple and use a thin brush to draw small curls or dots around it. A princess look is instantly recognisable with a soft sheen on the cheeks and a light sweep on the chin, giving the whole look a fresh appearance. Complete the look with a pastel or silver costume, a tiara or a tulle skirt, so the colour on your face matches what you are wearing.

Order the PXP Pearl Antique Pink face paint in the small box to try the colour, or choose the large box if you want to paint several faces during Carnival.
