Theatrical ageing make up

HOW TO CREATE AGEING SKIN 
When choosing areas to shadow, think about how elderly people have certain areas of their face that may be more sunken-in than others. The most common places that this occurs are the hollows of the cheeks, the eye area and underneath the eyes. Use your shadow colors to create sunken cheeks and bags under the eyes. To create sunken eyes, add shadow to the crease of your eyelid. In all cases, be sure to blend your makeup to create a more natural look
Adding shadows and highlights will enhance the definition of your drawn-on wrinkles and further the aging process. Your highlight color should be a couple of shades lighter than your foundation, and your shadow should be significantly darker. As you work, keep in mind that highlights will make things appear to pop out, while shadow will cause features to visually recede. With this in mind, add a bit of highlight against the lines you drew for wrinkles and blend gently out from the line. This will give them the look of depth. Other areas to highlight include under the arch of your brow, your nose and your cheekbones.
