‘Young’ Makeup
How is this a theatrical makeup trick? We use the “younger” tricks to make people look as young as the character they are playing, up to 10 years younger; we use the “do not” list above to make someone look 10 or 20 years older than they actually are, or in the case of red-based like they were up all night, or crying. Lining the inner bottom lash line in light blue, using a little green and yellow shadow around the outer edge of the eye, and smudging a little red based violet in the lash line does wonders to make a character look like a battered wife.
Highlight the cheekbone (1A) and shadow the hollow beneath (2) to make “sunken” cheeks. The nasolabial folds, those creases running from either side of the nose down to the mouth, become very pronounced with age. Exaggerate them by placing a strong highlight on the upper lip leading into the crease. Leave a hard edge at the crease, but blend it into the foundation on the upper lip. Then apply a line of dark shadow along the crease, and with a clean brush pull the shadow slightly away from the crease into the cheek and blend with the foundation. Area E-The Mouth and Chin.
A picture or sketch of the outfit or look you need to emulate may be the initially thing you may will need. When you are trying to gown up as an animal or object instead of a person, you are going to also need to decide what type of costume you prefer. As an example in the event you intend to be a canine, full-body costumes created with fake fur are adorable, but may be also very hot or uncomfortable for some. A leotard and tights or perhaps a sweat suit with fabric-paint spots may possibly make an incredible alternative.
