Thread: Old Age Makeup help?

Tweet

We have an old age prosthetic that has been pretty popular. It's not based on Keith Richards, but you can probably get pretty close with facial hair and eye makeup. Here's a video:

Thanks, Instant Monsters, for posting the video. Not sure I want to go full prosthetic for this. I did try the latex wrinkle method, and was pretty happy with it, though I need to get a better grease paint to keep it from disappearing into the latex.

Kryolan's Rubber Mask Greasepaint is excellent for wrinkle stipple latex. Graftobian also makes a variety that works well.

Make sure you use a product that is designed for latex. RMG is castor-oil based, and will not leech into the latex and discolor the way regular cream makeup does. You can also make a poor-man's version by adding a drop or two of castor oil into cream makeup. It works, but not as well as the real thing.

Yeah, thanks. I was just being cheap and using what I had on hand. Couldn't afford to make a trip to the makeup supply house before the first run. Will definitely pick up some Kryolan before the next go.
