Technical File: Week1 Class notes. Ageing and Creping of the Skin

This weeks lesson with Sue was on Theatrical ageing - creping of the skin on hands and face
In this lesson we watched a demonstration of Sue Creating creped skin using Liquid Latex and creating a wrinkle effect using supra colour.
After watching the demonstration we then attempted the effects for ourselves on our partners for the class.

To create creped skin with latex you need to:

First clean and dry the area
Apply a barrier cream to avoid skin irritation
Paint on the liquid latex using spatula or stipple sponge
Dry using a hair dryer on a cool heat

To create wrinkles using make up you need to:

Apply base in correct shade or slightly lighter to give a washed out look
Using a brown supra colour or camouflage concealer and fine brush draw delicate and fine wrinkles in the areas you would expect to find real wrinkles on a real face
Ask the model to screw up their faces or pull faces to see where natural wrinkles will form and use this as a guide as where to draw lines
Use supra colour in a grey/brown shade to define bags under the eyes and worsen creases under the cheek bones and create sharp contouring to make the face appear sunken in
Powder.
Use supra colour in and off white or yellowish white to lighten the eyebrows making them appear grey. Using an off white or yellowish white will stop the colour from looking blue on camera.
