Ageing Makeup.

There is no number on Miss Havisham. We are not told how old or even how young she is. However we are given details that give us an idea that she is not young. But possibly middle aged due to living conditions this was seen as being old.

You can create old aged makeup by using grease paints, and foundation.

1. Prepare the skin by cleansing, toning and moisturizing.
2. Apply a light coat of skin matched foundation, or paler foundation due to the desired outcome to the face.
3. Using a fine brush and a shade of brown depending on your models skin tone. Get your model to screw their face up for a dramatic look and you apply the brown shade where you can see wrinkles.
4. Then blend these lines out using either a sponge or fingers.
5. Remembering to shade the temples too.
6. For a more dramatic look you can use a colour lighter than your models skin type to highlight some of the wrinkles.

Here is one of the aged makeup looks I trialed. I prefer this look as I feel it is not theatrical looking and is more realistic. To me Miss Havisham would of been about 40 years so I think this is about right. Although this is not what a 40 year old woman would like, like today but taking into consideration living conditions. They did not have miracle creams, healthy diets, or botox!

Here I tried a more dramatic aging makeup. I like this but more for theatrical purposes. This is not my ideal Miss Havisham! But was a fun look to create!

For the skin to crepe you can use old aged stipple. 

 This can be used to create wrinkles by applying various layers drying them then pinching the skin together. If you pick at the skin it can also create very realistic dry,flaky skin.
