old lady make up

[diane brown]

Hi, can anyone tell me how to achieve an old lady makeup, I need to add at least 30yrs to my face! Is it all done with make up or are there any prosthectics I can buy?

Ideally, to add that much age you would really need prosthetics to do this for tv.

I would say at least a forehead, eye bags, nasalabial folds and neck.

You could add about 10 years with stipple and make up.

I suppose it depends on what you look like now. Can you load a picture?

A lot of the approach will depend on how old you are already. Old age stipple adds more years the older you are as it relies on your existing lines and skin softness. It can be extremely effective.

Eyes are usually one of the biggest give-aways, so it may be worth getting some good scleral lenses made that will mute the virbrancy of colour in your eyes.
