How to: Old Age Makeup

Step 1: Actress Marianne Wittelsberger starts the Old Age Makeup by having a clean face and having her hair pulled back. Marianne also wears clothes that tolerate makeup, powder, remover and rouge. Old age we are making 75 to 95 years. Step 2: Marianne adds a base slightly lighter than her natural skin tone. Old age complexion's tend to be on the pale side. She is using a makeup sponge for even coverage. Step 3: Do not forget to cover your neck and ears with base color. Skin color doesn't stop at the edge of your face and we will be adding highlights and shadows to the neck. Here Marianne starts with the forehead wrinkles.  Step 4: Marianne uses brownish red for the shadow color. For all makeups, start from top to bottom and from left to right. Marianne here puts on nose, cheek, eye and forehead shadows .  Marianne Wittelsberger ( in background )  and Steve Bauer made this makeup for actor Mark, he played Scarman, a character from the play "Marisol" produced at Towson University in Spring 2000.
