You wanna look sometime?  No!?

But it'southward so fun!

Okay... I'll be more specific.  Let'south put on stage makeup for old historic period.  I promise, information technology'southward a lot of fun.

I totally freaked out my kids and husband.  The kids were watching me and proverb how creepy I looked and request me why I was doing this.  My eldest daughter wants me to practice this for Halloween.  My youngest son said no to the creepy old lady face.  My husband jumped when I turned around.  Then satisfying... I retrieve.

[Tweet "I am about to learn how to look really onetime."]

Let's practice this.

Materials needed:  Highlight, Shadow, chocolate-brown eye liner, two small/medium flat brushes, and two wide flat brushes.

This kit is the one I used in theatre for college. It's got everything.

Nowadays, if you search for Ben Nye products all you'll run into is Banana pulverisation. Stinking Kardashians.

You can get a smaller personal kit if you'd like, instead of the full kit.

Hither I am.  Yes, that'searlier the sometime lady makeup, you dirty rat.  This is me at the cease of a long day, okay. So there!  Yes, I did stick out my tongue.  I pulled dorsum my bangs and pilus so I could get to piece of work. You lot should too.

Start with a fresh, clean face.

Put on a good foundation to even out your confront for a practiced base. If your confront is notoriously oily, I definitely recommend you put on a good primer kickoff.

Film Key:  White = Highlight  Blackness = Shadow

If y'all see a white arrow that is where y'all highlight.  If you lot see a blackness arrow that is where y'all shadow, etc.

We'll starting time from the height of the confront to the bottom.  It's much easier this style, you won't smudge your makeup as you work.

Also, start with the highlights first.  You put in the big surface area of highlights, then the shading.  Then you add the specific highlights in afterwards.  Don't worry, I'll walk you through it.

Forehead

First, nosotros'll historic period it with some basics.

Now we'll add in some wrinkles.  To do this:

1. Raise your eyebrows to wrinkle your brow up.  Good.
2. Draw a apartment line in each wrinkle.
3. Allow go of your eyebrows.
4. Get back with your shadow and draw the line a bit darker and then gently drag your shadow directly up.  Not a ton, just a little chip.  See the picture for clarity.
5. Take your highlight and draw a very precise line just underneath the shadow.  It needs to be crisp.
6. Take a await and alloy where needed.  DON'T alloy your well-baked highlight line.

Don't freak out!  At offset information technology looks like chocolate-brown lines on your face... it's okay.

But do these wrinkles where you really have them.  I am blest with few forehead wrinkles.  I have two barely there ones.  I win!

As y'all can run into, I take also done wrinkles between my brows.  These are the ones that'll plow ugly when I'grand older.  Yikes!

Treat them the aforementioned way, exceptDON'Tblend the brown line.  Put a highlight line on the underside. If it'southward pretty vertical, put information technology on the within part of the line (the part closest to the other heart).

Optics

The best part!

1. First, highlight lid.
2. Accept your shadow and first from the corner of your centre and get that middle socket shape.  Recall you're one-time, your center is going to sink in a flake.
3. Then practise the pucker.  I naturally have a droopy lid - information technology will hang down when I'chiliad an one-time lady, I'yard sure.  This is why I take taken my shadow and drawn it down with the natural pucker of my eye lid.
4. Add shadow at forehead bone at a downward angle to get the droop effect.
5. Subsequently I went back and put more than shadow on my chapeau for it to be more sunken in.

Now the eye bag.  Yay!

1. Add shadow on your lower lid.
2. Highlight underneath it. The bodily pocketbook area.
3. Take your highlighter and outline the exterior edge of the eye bag drawn a line.
4. Take more highlighter and blend that line out.  It'll wait like a U.
5. Accept your shadow, draw the line only above the highlight line.  Blend upwards and in.  Make sure your bag is heavier at the corner and fades as it nears your eye.  It shouldn't reach your outer centre.

• Last,  you take your brown eyeliner (or darker shadow) and depict a well-baked line at the bottom of the handbag (just in a higher place the highlight).
• Have your shading brush and blend slightly (upwards).
• Add in wrinkles (where they naturally occur) at your eyes.  Cockle your optics to find them.
• Draw in the shadow, and then add a highlight underneath!  Easy!

Nose

With erstwhile age your nose is bigger.  It's unfortunate, simply true.  I'm making my nose wider and my nostrils bigger.

1. To make wider you lot highlight down the nose, and the whole forepart portion of the nose.
2. To make nostrils bigger, you highlight those also, all the mode to the pucker where you lot nose and cheeks see.
3. Add together shadow to the sides of your nose, draw a line correct upwards next to the highlight and alloy out to the cheeks into your foundation.
4. For the nostrils, follow the natural curve, just just outside the actual crease to enlarge them.

 Cheeks

1. Showtime at your nostril, follow the big crease down (if it's difficult to observe, smile, so follow the crease) to your mouth.
2. In the first picture I have a brownish line crossed out.  I didn't like the way information technology looked and so I but wiped it off and fixed information technology.  No sweat.  You tin see it fixed in the second picture.
3. Draw the line and have it keep going by the oral cavity.  Your cheeks are going to hang existent low as y'all become geriatric.
4. Blend that line out, information technology'southward a bit thicker than the rest of your contraction lines.
5. Add a highlight within.
6. I added some to my whole cheek, composite advisedly, no hard border.

For an apple cheek - they'll be squeamish and full.  Probably from all that block I'll be baking as a sweet ole granny.

1.  Start at the nostril and sweep out and up.
2. Blend upwards.
3. Add highlight to the middle of the cheekbone and the surrounding cheek expanse.  You just want information technology more concentrated there.
4.  Add a light coat underneath the shadow too.
5. Add some blush to the apples of your cheek if you'd similar.

Lips

In old age your lips become thinner.  Boo.  To do this is simple.

1. Put foundation or highlighter over your lips.
2. On your bottom lip add a natural lip color, but just inside your natural lip line.
3. On the pinnacle lip add together a darker color also inside the lip line.
4. Add contouring with some shading and highlighting to the surrounding mouth area.
5. Add together wrinkles to your lips.  Done and washed.

Jaw

• Add highlight in a scallop motion alongside your jawline (above the ridge). It'southward similar a 3, lying on its back, simply iii scallops, instead of two.

• Add triangles of highlight underneath your scallop.  (See the moving-picture show below)

• Take your shadow and commencement at the top edge of the bottom highlight.  Is that confusing plenty?  Get in a hard edge.
• Then blend the shadow upwards to encounter the elevation scallop.  You don't want a difficult edge where those two meet.

Before, During, and After

At present, go back and bear on up anything you'd similar.  Your face may not exist perfectly symmetrical, don't worry about it.  Remember, this is stage makeup.  It'due south all-time seen at a far distance, not right up close.  Information technology'll notwithstanding look pretty dang sweetness though.
