Highlights and shadows should be about three shades lighter or darker than the base, although intense light or dark paints may be required to create strong highlights or shadows. Apply them over the foundation with brushes or crayons. For small areas, like wrinkles, 1/8 to 1/4 inch flat synthetic sable brushes are useful. Larger areas require a 1/2 to 5/8 inch brush. Pointed brushes are used only for the smallest details. Crayons should be sharpened into a tent shape. The sharp edge is particularly efficient for making hard-edged highlights, such as creases. For an even finer point and to keep the line from smudging, refrigerate the crayons before sharpening.
With old age your nose is bigger. It’s unfortunate, but true. I’m making my nose wider and my nostrils bigger. To make wider you highlight down the nose, and the whole front portion of the nose. To make nostrils bigger, you highlight those as well, all the way to the crease where you nose and cheeks meet. Add shadow to the sides of your nose, draw a line right up next to the highlight and blend out to the cheeks into your foundation. For the nostrils, follow the natural curve, but just outside the actual crease to enlarge them.
A picture or sketch of the outfit or look you need to emulate may be the initially thing you may will need. When you are trying to gown up as an animal or object instead of a person, you are going to also need to decide what type of costume you prefer. As an example in the event you intend to be a canine, full-body costumes created with fake fur are adorable, but may be also very hot or uncomfortable for some. A leotard and tights or perhaps a sweat suit with fabric-paint spots may possibly make an incredible alternative.
Stippling is a method for applying makeup by gently pressing the color onto the skin with various textured sponges that are rough and large-pored. The pattern created by the pores adds texture without concealing what is underneath. It is used for toning down highlights and shadows that are too strong, for giving texture to the skin, for adding “blemishes” or “freckles,” and for concealing the edges of add-ons (false noses, bald caps, eyebrow covers) by breaking up the tiny line of shadow created by the edge of the false piece. It is also very a very effective way to create stubble for that “5 ‘clock shadow” look.
