Ageing make-up

To age the skin I used a variety of different make-up products to gain an effective outcome. I firstly applied a foundation base to the face, neck and ears making sure it was completely blended by using my blending brush. I then shaded specific areas of the face such as the temples, cheekbones and under the chin using a brown eye-shadow from the viva brilliant color medley matt make-up pallet. I then applied a brown colour to the lines on the face which were already visible using a brown which I created by mixing yellow, red and green from the supracolor make-up pallet. I then got my model to raise her eyebrows and smile which enabled me to go over the lines to make them look more dramatic but blending them as well in order to keep them looking natural and as realistic as possible. I then used a lighter colour from the supracolor make-up pallet which I applied under each line to act as a highlighter and make the wrinkles look more defined. I also got my model to squeeze her lips in to enable me to define the lines around the lips and make them look more visible. 

As I created the ageing look a few times I also found that using a sharp brown eye brow pencil also worked well to create the lines around the face.
