Many times the painted technique of aging is not enough to achieve the age needed.
In this situation, the professional Makeup Artist should know how to do aging using the stretch and stipple technique. This is

Green Marble SeLr is often used as an aging product. The results are subtle and effective. A technique called stretch and stipple (or stretch and brush) is used in the aging process. These procedures were refined by Douglas Noe during a particularly brutal summer while filming in Atlanta. To mix Green Marble into an ager, you must use Green Marble SeLr concentrate and Attagel (clay powder used in facial masks).
Very important: Do not use this technique with the spray Green Marble SeLr.
Recipe: 1 oz. Attagel to 6 oz. Green Marble concentrate still works well as a fine line wrinkler when used lightly. This formula also works for lighter applications or where texture change is all that is needed. You might want to custom blend the recipe to
get a desired effect for different areas of the face.
Attagel to Green Marble Concentrate Formulas:
• 1 to 3 oz.—heavy ager on most skin types
• 1 to 4 oz.—medium heavy
• 1 to 5 oz.—medium light
• 1 to 6 oz.—light ager on most skin types

Prep the actor:
Remove any fine hairs from the actor, and lightly wipe the face with Kiehls blue astringent (product of choice) or witch hazel. To prevent lashes from sticking while you work, apply AF Thinner to lashes with a mascara wand before you begin. Recline the actor in a chair for easier working conditions. An upright position is perfectly fine also. You might find yourself doing both throughout the process.
