My My you are looking old...

Ageing of the skin can be quite tricky, but the key is not to over-do it. You can always add make-up rather than take it away.

Begin by doing a base on your model, when applying the foundation try to go slightly lighter than the models skin because older people can sometimes look pale or slightly off colour.

You then need to ask you model to crease their face in as many places as possible. By doing this you will be able to see which lines on the face you need to follow.

Then use your supracolour palette and apply a brown to your flat brush, you then need to follow the lines of the face.

If you get your model to raise their eyebrows frown line will appear, run the brush through the middle of each line.

You also need to get your model to grin widely and also squint so you can fill in the crows feet and laughing lines.

Once each of the lines has been filled in you can use your finger to blend the lines slightly into the foundation (because they are both grease products they will blend well together.

You can choose to darker the lines by adding more colour but don’t go too heavy.

You could also go a bit more extreme and yellow the skin under the eyes and perhaps add some liver spots in areas.

One way to create a good wrinkle effect is latex or duo glue. If you stretch the area of skin you wish to wrinkle such as the neck and apply the product to a large area and then wait for it to dry.

Once it is dry you will see that the product has formed a new layer over the skin and will be stretched and wrinkly.

For a little added age effect you can spray the roots of the hair grey with a coloured hair spray. This can also be sprayed onto a mascara wand and brushed through the eyebrows.

I found that this technique worked most effectively if you put quite a lot of layers of duo glue on the neck. Otherwise it isn't as visible, so the more you apply the more wrinkly the skin will appear.
