In the previous old age post, I did blocking and blending according to Stage Makeup to begin the old age makeup effect. The next step is adding details that really make the makeup realistic. The first details I added were stippling and age spots to make the skin look older, "Apply finishing touches of age spots and stipple" (Thudium 63). Next I drew white lines on the lips to make the look chapped and added more wrinkles around the mouth. "Shadow under your lower lip following the natural curve. Pull a shadow down and outward from the corners of your mouth (Thudium 58). Lastly to bring the whole look together I colored her eyebrows, "The graying of eyelashes, and eyebrows contributes to aging a young face convincingly" (Thudium 58).
Here is a final before and after of my model turning old!

Nice job, although I have to say that you did a much better job when I was over at your house on Friday. As for knowing what I'll look like when I'm older... well not only have you done this makeup on me twice but I've also done it to myself so I think I have a pretty good idea XD. Oh, and I quite like the lighting, almost as if you took the picture when under stage lights... at school... in third Period.
