Ageing the skin.

Ageing the skin: 

• Make sure you age everywhere that is going to be seen.
• Start by applying a base. You don't need to conceal, unless there are bad spots, as it's better to create you own than use the clients as when they go you will have to create it too look exactly like that. 
• Use finger underneath the eye, get rift into the hairline with d15 or d16. 
• Make sure you get client to more face so you can see their natural lines. E.g when doing eyes ask to scrunch up eyes and draw in the wrinkles, raise eyebrows and draw in wrinkles on the lines on head. Apply the dark tones in all crease over the face, around the mouth, corners of nose, lips, under cheekbone around eyes and forehead. 
• Apply a highlighter above the lines on face and in areas that you want to pull out more. 
• Apply grey too the eyebrows. We used a kryolon grey spray. Never white. 
• We then used Ben Nye creeping skin to add a more aged texture to the skin.
• Health and safety- always test on clients two weeks before use as they could be allergic. If clients allergic it will go red and itch and remove with warm water. 
• Apply by stretching the along really right and stipling on. Dry with hairdryer (check temp before using on client) make sure it's fully dry and clear before applying another layer. 

Here is an image of Millir that I did. I feel after taking the photo she does look older but it needs to be more exaggerated to show up better on camera as in real life it was much more defined than what it appears in this.

Below is an image of me that my tutor and Millie did.
