·         Wash hands

·         Put cape on

·         Cleanse, tone and moisturize

·         Create colour base using foundation and concealer

·         Buff in base

·         Ask client to smile and scrunch face so that you can see natural wrinkles as guideline

·         Using your small pointy brush draw on the wrinkles/creases creating darker lines

·         Make sure base is blended right up to lash line

·         Dab the wrinkles gently with fingertips

·         Using a lighter colour you can create light where there is shade

·         Using a bigger brush to highlight covers more of the skin

·         Highlight along some of the crevices

·         Using either supra pallet or dry hairspray grey down the eyebrows working against the hair and then back along the hair

·         Ask model to screw/tighten lips so you can dab preferred colour on to them allowing the product to go in to the creases creating an ageing effect

·         Always blend well

·         Using an eyelash/eyebrow brush, use product and go down both sides of the length of model hair. Must get right to the route and right to the end for a realistic look

·         Stretch skin with fingers and using a sponge add some stipple (latex) on desired parts of face

·         Dry with a hair dryer if you would prefer rather than waiting for it to dry

·         When the stipple is clear ease of … stop stretching

 

 

Notes

·         Take out spots/imperfections- create your own as model won’t always have spots. Continuity.

·         Supra means grease

·         Red/Green and Yellow create BROWN

·         Don’t powder base

·         Greying hair- dry shampoo, talc or supra

·         Kryolan spray to grey hair

·         Grey down hair from route to tip

·         Grey eyebrows and lashes

·         Ben Nye – old age stipple- wrinkle stipple (prosthetic)

·         You can use the stipple before and after make-up application

·         Match face ageing with age of hair

·         Age neck hands and feet etc.

·         Check model is not allergic to stipple or other product’s

·         Test at least 2 weeks before shoot in case you need to find a new model

·         You can use whatever brushes work best to create look

·         If you stipple you don’t get hard edges on camera
