pasada

English translation: (pigment) application

21:52 Nov 17, 2012
Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Cosmetics, Beauty / micropigmentation
Spanish term or phrase: pasada
I can't think of a suitable way of expressing 'pasada' (step 8) as in when you carry out a process once. I'm afraid there's hardly any context but I understand it refers to the first time you 'go over' or 'do' the area. It's for a video presentation for micropigmentation (semi-permanent make-up). Later on in the text, I have to translate' 2ª pasada' and '3ª pasada'. I'm using UK English.

1. Limpiamos el labio con (name of product)
2. Aplicamos (name of product) en todo el labio
3. Realizamos el diseño utilizando el pigmento Red (number)
4. Bordeamos el labio con crema calmante con cuidado de no aplicarlo sobre el diseño que acabamos de realizar.
5. Hacemos una línea de referencia con el aplicador de 1# y añadiendo 2 gotas de Red (number) + 2 gotas de (product) al Red (number).

La equivalencia sería…… Red (number) (80%)
Red (number) (10%)
CC (number) (10%)

disagree  Rosa Paredes: That was also my first thought, but this is not "painting" it is actually tatooing. Saludos.
