Old theatrical makeup, 'take one'

As we've already taken on theatrical makeup, this week we tried old theatrical. During this lesson we learnt how to make it appear like someone had aged using only makeup. I enjoyed this weeks lesson as I thought it was really interesting. When we were first told, I did wonder how we would make it look realistic without making it look too fake, but when we were showed the application it all made sense. This makeup look is all down to where you apply the lines, this will make up the wrinkles. It is quite a funny task to do, as you will find getting your artist to pull funny faces always helps! (frowning, raising their eyebrows etc) I did find the blending of the lines a little difficult, as I felt as though I blended them a bit too much. I managed to fix them though, just by applying a darker colour. I felt as though for my first attempt it turned out quite well, it could have been better, but I didn't stress over it too much. When I try out the old theatrical makeup again I will learn from my mistakes by not over blending and I will probably apply my lines a bit darker and bolder. Its always good to find out how you might actually look when your older! (not haha) Here's how my first look went!
