Theatrical ageing

In Sue's lesson she taught us theatrical ageing which was a really fun as I haven't done this before. In the theatre the make-up has to be very dramatic and over the top so it can be seen on stage from whatever areas the audience are sitting in to watch. As people are sitting quite far away from the stage it doesn't have to be too realistic and neat as this won't be noticed from a far unlike in TV shows and films where the HD camera shows absolutely every detail of the face and body which means make-up has to be realistic and perfect. Here are images of my in class practical and then a go I had at home on one of my flatmates. 

Equipment:
- Very small brush
- Foundation brush 
- Disposable mascara wand
- Black stipple sponge
- Kryolan Supra Color palette
- Kryolan foundation palette
- Kryolan tooth enamel in Nicotine
- Cotton buds

Consultation notes:
Model - Rebekah Newman
Skin type - Pale complexion, combination skin
No allergies to the products I am using. 
No contra-indications.

Step-by-step:
1) Use the Supra Color palette to mix a brown shade using yellow, green, blue and red.
2) I first applied moisturiser and a light base of foundation over the face before I began adding wrinkles so it was easier to blend.
3) I then asked my model to pull faces which accentuated and pulled out where the natural wrinkles of the skin are, while she was pulling the faces I used the brown Supra Colour and smallest brush to fill in the creases. I concentrated mainly on the forehead, the nose, around the mouth and the outside corners of the eyes.
4) Once I had marked all the wrinkles out with Supra Color I used my fingers to pat it into the skin and blend it out so it looked like shadows instead of painted on lines.
5) You can add more black in to the Supra Color to add depth and a lighter base to highlight the non-wrinkled areas. I also dabbed a bit of base onto the lips to make them appear more creased and smaller.
6) Using my disposable mascara wand and Supra Color (white with a tiny amount of yellow mixed in) I ran it through the lashes and eyebrows so they appeared a whitey-grey colour for an extra touch.
7) As the old character we were creating had a bad lifestyle including lots of smoking and alcohol we used Nicotine Tooth Enamel by Kryolan to stain some of the teeth. For this I used a clean cotton bud to dry the tooth, asking the model to smile to bare her teeth and then added the tooth enamel to another cotton bud and dabbed it onto the tooth to cause staining.
