ageing with make-up

With theatrical ageing we begin the process the same as with any make-up look. a counceltation form between you and your client needs to be talked through to ensure there are no contra-indications such as allergies or sawness of the skin. make sure to cover your client with a apron before beginning any work.

Products needed:

cleanser, toner, moisturiser

Kryolan foundation pallet

supra colour pallet

disposible mascara wand

loose powder

barrier cream

sponge's

liquid latex

bowl/ pot

hairdryer

Process of Theatrical Ageing

1. Cleanse, tone and moisturise the face to prep for make-up, and ensure the face is clean of any other cosmetics.

2. From the supra palette I blended the green yellow and red together. Mixing it with the appropriate amount of white for Daniella's skin tone. This will make a brown which I will use to create dramatic contours and lines of the face. 

3. I then made Daniella make these creases and lines in her face by posing with  various different facial expressions, like frowning smiling laughing and generally moving her features around as much as she could. whilst she did this I used a thin brush to work into these lines showing the shape and shadows they create with the supra colour mix i made.

4. to soften the harsh drawn on lines i used my little finger (so i didn't wipe off all the product) and gently smudged and blended out the lines

5. to enhance the overall look i went back into some of the creases with darker and lighter shades to make them more dramatic.
6. when done with the wrinkles i used a stippling sponge on Daniellas cheeks to make it look like she had broken veins swell. i dipped this in red supra colour and lightly dabbed at the top of her cheekbone.

7. I then used a disposable mascara wand and dipped it in the white supra colour and ran this through both her eyebrows and eye lashes to make them look grey.

8. to make sure the maw-up stayed fixed i lightly powdered with Illamasqua translucent powder.  

Process of Creping the Skin

1. I made Daniella clean her hands before I began to make sure the surface i was working on wouldn't have any product or dirt on.

2. Apply a barrier cream to the area and work into the skin.

3. I then emptied the latex into a dish and let it rest for a couple of minutes. 

4. keeping the sections of skin I'm working on tight i used the sponge to patt a small layer of latex on.

5.next i dried this layer by using a cool hairdryer and slowly shaking it at a small distance from the latex area.

6. i continued this process repeatedly adding layer upon layer whilst blending out the ages making sure i don't get a bump of latex at the end and that it smoothly joins to the skin.

7. using the same tone as Daniella's skin I finished this look with a bit of foundation and translucent powder to set.
