The wig is again put on and carefully blended with the forehead.
A rather deep reddish powder is suitable for the make-up. The lips are coloured with carmine and lake mixed.
HAMLET
A mirror of emotions. The mouthpiece of protesting souls. A creature of sensitiveness absolute. His face must express almost the entire range of the passions. Very pale, studious, of great mental strength and refinement.
Groundwork 2-1/2, a little yellow and a very small quantity of brown.
Flesh colour that should vaguely suggest ivory. A little white rubbed on to the most prominent parts of the forehead adds intellectuality to the head.
The shadows which should be of the groundwork deepened with brown are so arranged that they intensify the sensitiveness of the face. They are used under the brows to give soulfulness to the eyes and to make the forehead seem more prominent. A line is drawn round the upper part of the nostrils to give delicacy to the drawing of the nose. The darkening of the division of the upper lip and of the cleft chin makes the face seem thinner. The shadows on the temples and on the cheeks also help this illusion.
Cream-coloured powder is applied to the face and neck.
The eyebrows are carefully drawn with brown in a wide clear arch and are afterward lightly combed.
