In this segment we're going to talk about demonstrate old age makeup. The first example I'm going to teach you, probably the most elaborate, is called an old age stipple involves applying liquid latex to the skin, stretching the skin to achieve wrinkles. And then when you dry the latex and you like go it will contract the skin and bunch it up and create fine lines. When you're aging selling you have to bear in mind to get a really realistic look. You're talking at 10 to 15 year, timespan, you cannot make an 18 year old woman or girl look like an 80 year old woman without using prosthetics. To do a realistic old age, it's best to have your model 10 or 20 years of what you really want them to look like.
Otherwise you're gonna start employing wigs, prosthetics and all sorts of other things because we can get into wrinkles all around here. But when you get into this area, you can't create the say without a prosthetic. But for a lot of applications, this does the trick. And if you have someone who has older skin are starting to get that droop, it'll look amazing. So first we're going to take some liquid latex and squirt into a bowl. latex is ammonia based when the ammonia dissipates.
That's when the rubber dries, so we use a hairdryer to basically blow off the ammonia. That's what makes it go solid. Ben Nye makes latex for sensitive skin Krylon sells. liquid latex there's a number of places Okun out of New York distributes a number of different brands. Most makeup houses carry it. Someone have a higher ammonia content than others.
So be aware of that and the fumes can get quite Strong. If your model complains that delayed text is irritating the skin, you can water it down slightly with water and it'll take some of the bite out. And but it won't jeopardize the integrity of the latex that much for what you're doing an alternative if you have someone with latex allergies that you can use green marble concentrate, I recommend getting the hang of doing this process with the latex first and when you feel comfortable with it, then move on and try the green marble but it has been green marble concentrate, not just the ceiling green marble. So to apply the white text we're going to use this red simple sponge. Dordain, Ben Nye Kryolan outcome. Even a lot of your pharmacies now carry these sponges at the pharmacies.
Under cleansing pads but it's a red stipple sponge, it'll add texture as we're stippling on thin layers of the latex. So I'm just going to use a small wedge and as I'm using it if the poor start to get plugged, I just discard it and get another piece. Now, aging with latex is a two person job. Both your hands are going to be tied up stretching the skin you need someone to be able to man the hairdryer, so and when you put the latex on do not put it in the eyebrow work around the hair, do not get it in the hair. If you accidentally do get it in the air when you go to clean up baby oil, massage it in it will break down the rubber and you can get it out or if you don't have that any vegetable oil, any oil petroleum product like that well break down the rubber start around the eye Again you want to do this and thin coat and you overlap your areas.
Stay out of the hair I'm coming up to the edge and we will stretch the skin. So already you can see a bunch of fine lines starting to show she noticed the latex dries clear. So we will add another layer slowly expanding our region and usually it takes two or three layers to get a good set of wrinkles. Again, it varies on your model. Someone who's really young has really tough skin, it could take more or it will hardly read at all. Someone who's a little older whose skin is starting to loosen up and is a little more classic.
You can get a really cool effect. You want thin coats because if you Get blobs of rubber, it takes a lot more to dry them and then there's a good chance that when you go to do a next layer, you're gonna create a hole which is going to mar the surface. Now you can see here we have a second layer and the lines are getting deeper and more exaggerated. Again, you have to work quickly because a thin coat of latex Dry Fast and when you're doing this, any exposed skin has to be covered with latex and ear nose doesn't stretch, but totally it will absorb light differently so you'd have to cover that as well. For the purpose of this demonstration, we're only going to do half the face so you can see the difference. Have your model keep their eyes closed till you're done.
The process if they have to open If you have to powder to latex because the surface is very sticky, as you can see here and it will stick to itself and you won't get it apart and you'll have to peel the rubber often start all over again you're gonna pattern Trina's eyelid and then I'm keep continuing so I'm gonna want her to open her eyes for the next bit. I'm just using some blue snow color powder. Sample people powder between layers. I don't because I find it makes the makeup cloudy. Like to powder at the end, because I need her to open her eye. I'm powdering it now.
I can see how even two layers, the weight it adds and the difference between the two eyes. At the end, I will go over the whole thing with the damp tissue and remove all the excess powder. I want you to look up here can when you're doing under the eye, get as close to the last line without getting rubber in the lash line. I know the shims are going to be a little irritating. Again you overlap onto the previous section. After the side of the eye stretch north and south for under the eye.
I'm going to use a combination of up and down and across Notice when I was doing her lip and chin area she Stretch left to right. Again, you have to do some research. Look at how wrinkles on your grandfather grandmother, old people in the park, the directions they go. And again, depending how old you want them to look. If your character as a migrant worker who spent all their time outside, they would have a lot more wrinkles. If your character was a heavy smoker, they would be more wrinkled and the upper lip.
And again, the amount you put on varies, like Trina's faces taking this Well, you're getting all sorts of nice subtle things. So if we kept going, she would look a bit too exaggerated. So two layers works for her, but every body space is different. So now we're going to do her cheek. And for this, I'm going to ask her to inflate her cheeks at it and see how it stretches and then I'll just give a little tug here on the air and then I can do this big area. wants to relax.
Again, I always overlap on to the previous areas right here, right around the jawline trying to keep your coats inflate. I can see one layer. I like that. I don't need to do a second layer in that. If I did, it would be even more exaggerated. Again, it depends how old if you wanted to do like a witch makeup or something you wanted extra exaggerated.
You could go over that again. I'll do between her eyes. Skin in her forehead a little tighter. Okay, now we'll do her neck after the neck training just needs to tip her head back and it'll stretch on its own. Again if we're doing this for a character for show you would want to make sure you're a good inch or two below the neckline of whatever their costume is going to be. Should be planned upon to jawline and you would go all the way to the midpoint to do the back of the neck they would.
I've seen bend forward and stretch. If you were going to worry about it being a woman, she has Long hair, the hair would hide the back of the neck so you wouldn't worry about it. I'm gonna do one more layer before she lowers her neck and you try to do even coat working quickly. I'm just going to apply a light there powder with a sponge everywhere. Take some of the Shana and because the surface is really sticky if she were to do a lot of talking and whatnot, I don't want it to relate text to risk touching itself. can get a little imperfection like that there.
One there. And then you can turn those into skin tags later and other age spots. Unfortunately, if you get a hole or a really bad area that sticks to itself, you pretty much need to remove it all and start all over it's really hard to repair. Now we matter with the powder. You can see the division, the difference and the subtle looking yet. I'll take some of this excess off with a damp tissue just using water and then I'm going to go in with our alcohol palette at eight spots and finish it off.
So clean, excellent water. There, latex you combine some stores, actually called stipple latex, and it's already been diluted to be thinner than this and it has a plastic scisors in it so it will last longer through a day eventually from movement, perspiration and 100 other factors than eating lunch. So eventually work its way free specially around the mouth area. So you try to get your educate your model and the fact that you know don't be doing a lot of unnecessary talking or exaggerated expressions because old people move slower some of them are cranky, don't talk a lot. Yeah, they have to help you preserve your makeup so they can't carry on like they might normally just me on wanting to help prevent Okay, so now add a little color. So with our illustrator effects palette, I'm going to add some broken configurations.
Reading her nose a bit. Can using the red tone, paint regular also see when she starts laughing how actual movement how it grabs you actually really see the effect but intense flesh tone palate, brown and discolor to create a spot and different as we get older we tend to get more deep set permits and as everything troops or shadows of pears more natural And some of these turn into various spots, skin tags, all the nice things that come with age. Now when you're going to do a spot Do you want them a varying intensity and just think of freckles where would you get them the most on your forehead, because that's where it's the most fun. Again, you want to try and make things appear like they're coming from under the skin, and on top, don't use all just one color. I'm gonna go in with another one after random thoughts on your cheeks to these areas of it, trading Shadow gets too intense.
Please go back in with alcohol. Trading shadows you're not redefining their own structure. contouring trainer for last a little bit. Boehner you can study goals so you understand the shapes necessary you have a thin bone. Think of your point of Pac impact when we did bruising your cheekbones here. So the skin would get tight so when she smiles or makes expression or laughs or see how you want to pop this, make her a little more sunken.
So you're just trading shadows shouldn't look like paint. Again, if you get too much color, going with some more alcohol and knocking down, even use this fudge with some of the alcohol and just press it. Pull some of that color off. So we're something looks extra deep, you can accent that a little bit. Again, you're steering people or the audience to look where you want them to look. forehead creases, I'm just adding to setting a little color where the wrinkle would be just deepening in a bit.
Getting old, it's just wonderful. So anything that you don't like you can turn into Something else. There we have a general old age with latex decal. Again, if you're using green marble, you could color it exactly the same way. Researchers really important so you could add more spots on your neck you could pull out different chords. It will take differently to every person you put it on.
This is more intended for a one off kind of makeup because trying to get this exactly the same every day would be hard. Oh, also we have to add some content we're here. There was something I was missing. Krylon has a hairspray. White tint is okay and blonde people and light fair hair color. dark hair, such as Asians eckerd Americans Canadians.
But not the texture of their hair is different. So if you want to age, someone with black hair you silver don't use white because the white looks very chalky and fake instantly or silver translates better in their hair. So you can, if you have to do the whole thing, you would use a hairspray like this. Or if you want to do something subtle and more controllable, we'd use a whitener or silver like this which you can put in a dish. And with a toothbrush, you can brush this, brush it into the temples and wherever. So we'll use a little of this.
So I have my little silver and my dish can use a toothbrush. Take the excess off. Now how heavy you want to go is to you. If you bought it onto their skin, you can clean it off with a cotton swab and water. That being said, you don't want your actor going outside in the rain or they'd be silver running everywhere. These are temporary hair colors.
This way you can get some of her natural hair shining through some just using a normal artist brush. Again, you're coding the hairs. You could use white for this. We've real creations in Illustrator have hair palettes now. So if you needed something a little more permanent to hold up for the day, you could use the alcohol paint to do that as well and kind of don't make their hair so perfect. Because as you get older and the hair turns silver, they grow weird.
They like to not cooperate and grow in different directions and they wouldn't be perfectly quaffed. Granny doesn't look like a supermodel so they wouldn't have perfectly arched eyebrows and whatnot nor would you put mascara on or or anything you could leave because again, their eyelashes get more sparse and whatnot. So, here we have our rockin granny was still ready
