Ben Nye's Ultimate Old Age Effect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4eSYqBc4ZQ

When researching old age makeup techniques I found this video of Stan Edmonds, a feature film artist who is Head of Department at Vancouver Film Schools makeup Design for Film and Television, demonstrating his techniques to creating old age realism for theatre and film.
In the video he transforms a man and adds years onto his appearance. 
Its interesting to see some of the techniques that Stan uses. He focuses on two basic elements; structure and texture. He uses Ben Nye FX Creme Colours and pencils. 
He claims his objective is to design layers that blend into the actors own complexion instead of sitting on top.


above is some of Stans work that's available to see on the Vancouver Film Schools website.
