Water Based Paint is, as its name suggests, a water based make-up.  You need to apply it with a damp sponge or brush (available here), the damper the applicator, the lighter the colour will come out.  As with water-based paint, you can mix and blend colours.

Once applied, the make-up will dry on, so as not to smudge, and is then easily removed with soap and water.

Grease Paint is a cheaper alternative, and some professionals prefer to use it for theatrical purposes.  The make-up can be either applied with the fingers, a sponge or a brush (available here).

Once applied, the make-up stays greasy, increasing the chances of it smudging.  You will require a make-up remover to remove the make-up.
