2. Brush eyebrows so the hair is up and against the skin, flat and smooth.
3. run the soap back and forth through the hair coating the entire surface that has hair on it. do this numerous times until you can no longer feel the hair follicles any more under the layers of soap 
4. wait until soap sets and drys (you can use assistance from a hair dryer if you have one) powder firmly pressing the powder into any creases
5. if you want the eyebrows to completely disappear as we would for an elizabethan look use the supra colour pallet pink colour and stipple it onto the entire eye brow with a sponge/ applicator.
6. Apply a base layer of foundation matching the skin tone of the client. 
7. press powder in the creases and set this colour with a sponge
8. then chose the desired skin tone foundation and apply all over the face this may need three or four layers like the soap to properly conceal
