Orlandi has actually likewise created an additional makeup service by adapting the V-Shapes advancement to structures and also various other fluid formulas (oil perfumes, creams, scrubs, shampoos …). V-Shapes is likewise a single-use card, yet it can be opened up with one hand by pressing on each end to develop a V.
