Using Paradise Makeup AQ is a breeze. First, add a small amount of water to activate it. Remember, different colors may need different amounts of water. Then, moisten your sponge or brush and start working the surface of the cake until you get a nice, spreadable cream. If you want the makeup to be water - resistant, use Barrier Spray. When it's time to remove the makeup, just lather it up with soap and rinse it off with water. Before using this product regularly, do a patch test on a small area of your skin. If you notice any redness or itching, don't use it anymore. There's no special maintenance required, just keep it in a cool and dry place.
