Ageing Makeup

Creating Aged Skin

Equipment:

-Cleanser, toner and moisturiser

-Base

      -Supracolour palette

      -Brushes

      -Disposible mascara wand

      -Mixing palette

      -Latex

      -Sponge

      -Hairdryer

Instructions:

-  Prepare the face.

- Apply a small amount of base, the same colour as the skin.

- Take the base over the lips whilst the model pinches her lips. This creates a cracked effect.

- Using the grease based Supracolour palette, apply a dark brown/grey around the eyes, nose, cheekbones and temples to make the face appear gaunt, emphasising the hollows.

- Blend in with fingers.

- Ask the model to screw their face up to show creases in the skin. Apply a darker shade in the creases of the skin and blend in with fingers to create the effect of wrinkles.

- Get a lighter shade and highlight the raised parts of the creases to emphasise.

- Using a disposable mascara wand, apply grey to the eyebrow in a backwards motion.

Creping of the skin:

- Stretch skin so it is taught.

      -Apply latex onto skin using a sponge.

      - Pinch skin to create ‘wrinkles’.

-Dry the latex using a hairdryer, making sure that the temperature is suitable.

 *I struggled with the latex to create wrinkles, as I put a bit too much latex on the skin, and did not wait for it to dry properly, so it created more of a "blistered" effect.
