ABSTRACT
In this chapter of Makeup Artistry for Film and Television Christine Sciortino enlists the help of three makeup artists to demonstrate the transformative power of makeup for aging talent on set. Rochelle Uribe-Davila, Dina Cimarusti, and Christopher Payne each give a step-by-step tutorial for a makeup technique that can be used to age. It may be that you are on the set of a film about two aging lovers and need to turn actors in their late 20s into old-aged pensioners – there are a number of ways to get there. Using paint-only methods, stretch-and-stipple techniques, or going the whole mile with prosthetics, this chapter guides makeup artists in their attempts to define a character by their age.
