For the base I wanted a matte texture. Therefore I used a matte primer. I then applied white foundation in the T-zone, a darker foundation to temples and around the mouth to add dimension to the face.
I then applied a dark foundation under the eyes to make it look as if I had bags. This is one of the many side effects an alcoholic has. I also with a brown grease paint added wrinkles to my face and blended them well so it does not look theatrical.
I applied a similar Kryolans Almond eye shadow on top to add extra detail.
I then added a light grey grease paint to the brows and lashes. As well as stippling on a burgundy colour on the nose and in the right corner of my lip.
I then added latex to my lips and around my left corner of my lip. To represent dehydration of the skin.
I like this design as I felt it has a good balance of shades, and texture. I also think if I did anything more to this look it may look unrealistic. I like this look as I have practiced it many times and it looks the same so it is fairly easy to recreate.
