More Costume Makeup Techniques - Looking Aged

Feeling as old as the hills...you might as well look as old as the hills! When trying to age yourself (if the wrinkles aren't already there), don't just draw dark lines on your skin. Start by covering your skin in a lighter makeup base than normal skin tone using a white blemish cover stick. Then draw the dark lines and faintly blend them into the remaining skin area with your fingertips. Now add baby powder to give your skin a weathered, dry look. Hint: Also use the baby powder in your hair to get that "gone gray" look!
