If you are young, then old age makeup can enhance a costume or theater production by making you look more convincing as an elderly person. Old age makeup may seem complicated, but it is quite easy. You only need a few makeup products and tools to create an older looking face and you can complete a basic old age look in just a few minutes.
Before you get started, you will need to gather some special items. You will need:
Matte pink or nude color lipstick or lip liner
Apply a layer of foundation.
Start with a clean, dry face and then apply a layer of foundation to your entire face.
This will help to create an even canvas for the old age makeup look. Use some liquid foundation and then set it with a layer of translucent powder.
Use a makeup sponge to apply the liquid makeup to your entire face. Then, use the sponge to blend the makeup.
After you finish creating some basic wrinkles on your face, you can begin to intensify the wrinkles around your eyes and nose. Begin by creating some crow’s feet. You can do this by adding a few lines extending out from the outer edges of your eyes.
Use the eyeshadow or eyeliner to create these lines. Extend the lines out and away from the eyes.
Squinting your eyes may help you to identify the natural folds in your skin next to your eyes. Then, you can just fill in these lines with the eyeshadow or liner.
Add medium brown eyeshadow to the inner eyelid.
Next, you will need to deepen the color of your eyelids to give the appearance of sunken eyes, which is common with old age. Use some brown eyeshadow to fill in the inner part of the eyelid with some medium brown eyeshadow.
Try to make the inner eyelid look darker than the outer eyelid. This will help to give the appearance of sunken eyes and harsher features.
Create fine lines around your lips.
To create the appearance of fine lines on your lips, purse your lips and use a dark brown eyeliner or eyeshadow to fill in a few lines above your lips. Don’t make them very big. Just draw lines that are about a centimeter (1/4 inch) long.
After you relax your lips, you should have some lines above your lips that look like wrinkles.
You can also blend the lines to make them seem more natural. Use your fingers to gently smudge them.
Apply a layer of matte pink lipstick or liner.
Next, you will need to apply a layer of matte pink or nude lip color. This will create a canvas for creating a wrinkled look on your lips. Apply a layer of the lipstick or liner of your choice.
