Do Stage Makeup
Highlight the cheekbone (1A) and shadow the hollow beneath (2) to make “sunken” cheeks. The nasolabial folds, those creases running from either side of the nose down to the mouth, become very pronounced with age. Exaggerate them by placing a strong highlight on the upper lip leading into the crease. Leave a hard edge at the crease, but blend it into the foundation on the upper lip. Then apply a line of dark shadow along the crease, and with a clean brush pull the shadow slightly away from the crease into the cheek and blend with the foundation. Area E-The Mouth and Chin.
Start at your nostril, follow the large crease down (if it’s hard to find smile, then follow the crease) to your mouth. In the first picture I have a brown line crossed out. I didn’t like the way it looked so I just wiped it off and fixed it. No sweat. You can see it fixed in the second picture. Draw the line and have it keep going past the mouth. Your cheeks are going to hang real low as you get geriatric. Blend that line out, it’s a bit thicker than the rest of your wrinkle lines.
Zombies are upon us! Okay, maybe not in a literal sense, but you have to notice that zombies have taken over pop culture. Shows like The Walking Dead, games including Plants Vs. Zombies, and movies such as Warm Bodies indicate how popular zombies are. There’s something about the undead that excites us. Even though an apocalypse is probably nowhere close to occurring, thinking about our former friends and family members trying to eat our brains is chilling. If you’re interested in pursuing this trend, get started on your Halloween costume as a zombie. View more costume ideas or continue reading to find out how to pull this off.
