Thanks a lot for this. Probably the best aged tutorial I've seen so far and I'm needing to add about 30 years for a show. Well done!

@elsephen no problem! i was trying to think of the best way to do this tutorial, so if you have any unanswered questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm in a stagemake up class and we're doing Old age (70-90) tomorrow, which I'm kinda terrified for. Lol I'm gonna definitely incorporate some of the things you said, I feel way more comfortable now. Thank u!

I'm 17 and I have to look like 60 for a film...I have no idea how I am going to do this. But this helped me a lot, I hope I can do this...

@TheCableProductions I think he said "nasal-labial fold" I don't really speak Latin but I think that means the fold between the nose (nasal) and the lip (labial).

[TheCableProductions]

at 3:25... Did you say your labia fold?... o.0

Fabulous! I landed a role for Norman for On Golden Pond and I do not want the audience to see a younger person acting old. Thanks for the video and information.
