  11. Titanium Dioxide & ‘Ghosting’ or ‘Flash Back’ Titanium dioxide and/or iron oxide are used within camouflage crème and powders to: • Reflect UV light • Provide an SPF • Prevent photosensitive reactions • Provide an opaque appearance

  12. Titanium Dioxide & ‘Ghosting’ or ‘Flash Back’ Disadvantages of Titanium dioxide and iron oxide are: • Under flash photography or harsh lighting these ingredients appear pale, creating a whitening effect visible in a photograph known as ‘flash back’ or ‘ghosting’. • When used on dark skin tones (particularly black skin) the ingredients can create a greying effect to the appearance of the camouflaged area.

  13. Durability of Products When set properly camouflage should last on the skin 8-24 hrs, however certain factors may affect durability and application: Client’s Skin • Oily skin-product may “slide”. Clean skin with a toner prior to application to remove oil residue before camouflage application. • Dry Skin-product may appear “cracked”. Moisturiser may be used in this circumstance. Client’s Lifestyle • Perspiration may cause camouflage to lift • Camouflage is only water resistant so leisure activities such as swimming may also affect durability

  14. Durability of Products Area of body to be camouflaged: • Friction and rubbing may remove camouflage Care of application: • Oil based products/ water in oil (i.e. KY Jelly, Cold Crème Cleanser, Baby oil) will remove camouflage • When drying pat, do not rub Environmental conditions: • Excessive heat and humidity may reduce the camouflages durability

  15. Product Quality Assurance The Cosmetic Product (Safety) Regulations 1996 Act states that all products clearly display their: • Best before date • A list of products ingredients

  16. Applying Camouflage Make-Up • Cleanse and tone the area. Apply moisturiser if requires. • Examine the area, if neutralisation is required, block out using a thin layer of the complementary coloured camouflage cream on the area. • With a velour puff apply setting powder, leave to set for 10 minutes before removal. • Blot with damp cotton wool to remove excess powder, if the colour bleeds through, apply another layer. • Mix the colour to match the surrounding skin tone, making note of which colours you use throughout. • Apply using a sponge/brush • Set with powder then wait for 10 minutes before removal. You may need to repeat this process several times. • Spray with water if the area looks “powdery” • Optional stage- apply fixing spray
