ABSTRACT
Forehead wrinkles, eye pouches, sagging jowls, prominent veins in the hands—the illusion of all of these can be created with highlights and shadows, provided one understands the principles of hard and soft edges and learns to apply those principles meticulously in doing character makeups. Choose a medium flesh tone for the cream foundation, a medium dark color for the shadows, and a very light color for the highlights. Use a wide or an extra-wide flat brush. With a metal or plastic makeup spatula, take up a small amount of makeup and transfer it to a makeup palette. Colors darker than the highlight and lighter than the deep shadow are usually the best choices for stippling. Stippling is a technique used to add texture to the surface of the face. As a person ages there are more textures that appear in the skin. Along with wrinkles, discolorations, age spots, broken capillaries, and creping can appear.
