How to Age Your Face with Makeup

• Have you ever thought about how you would look
  after getting older? If you are a makeup or
  theater artist you should have the knowledge of
  how to make someone look older in front of the
  camera? Old age makeup may seem complicated, but
  it is quite easy to do. You only need a couple of
  makeup products and tools to create an older
  looking face.
• Let's start with a couple of following steps to
  complete our look.
• Firstly apply a layer of foundation-Start with a
  clean, dry face and then apply a layer of one
  shade lighter foundation to your entire face as
  when we get older our skin starts getting
  pigmented. Use liquid foundation with the help of
  a sponge and lock your foundation with a lighter
  layer of translucent powder.

• Use brown eye shadow or liner to create depth
  ness around your Mouth-Use brown eye shadow to
  create dark circles and patches on your face and
  start using brown creamy liner to begin creating
  the appearance of wrinkles on your face. To
  create wrinkles start tracing the natural lines
  and folds of your face with a dark brown
  eyeshadow or eyeliner.
•  You start drawing lines extending down from your
  nostrils. The folds that extend down from your
  nostrils to the area just below and outside of
  your chin will become deeper as you age. To
  create this effect, go over these lines with a
  dark brown eye shadow or liner.
• Always make sure to blend the lines you have
  created to make them seem subtler and natural.

• Start working with your eyes- To create older
  looking eyes draw lines that trace over the lower
  part of your eye sockets and above your cheek
  bones. This will help to create the appearance of
  sagging eyes and similarly start drawing lines
  towards inner corners of your eyes and between
  the eyebrows, blend them gently by smudging the
  lines either with brush or your fingers.
• After creating some basic wrinkles on your face,
  start intensifying the wrinkles around your eyes
  and nose. Begin by creating some crows feet. You
  can add a few lines extending out from the outer
  edges of your eyes. Use the eyeshadow or eyeliner
  to create the lines and lastly blend the lines
  gently.

• Intensify the features of your nose -As you age,
  your nose will begin to look sharper and harsher.
  To intensify your nose start creating lines or
  shade in the sides of your nose. Use darker brown
  to darken the sides of your nose to make it seem
  sharper and add a few lines extending between the
  inner eye and the nose to make it more realistic.
  Don't forget to blend the lines gently.
• Create your lips older -To make your lips look
  shaggy, start creating the appearance of fine
  lines on your lips, use a dark brown eyeliner or
  eyeshadow to fill in a few small lines above your
  lips.
• Use fingers to gently blend the lines to make
  them seem more natural.
• Next, you need to apply the lip color of darker
  shades with creamy texture as the older ladies
  used to carry.
