Age Make-up.—First cover the entire face with dark brown foundation, as dark as brown eye liner. Be sure to rub into all crevices and lines. Wrinkle the forehead to its fullest extent and carefully wipe off all foundation on the mounds of the wrinkles, allowing the colour to be deposited only in the wrinkles of the forehead. Squint each eye and continue the process around the eyes. Purse the lips and repeat. Now you have all your natural lines accentuated. Repeat the wrinkling process and gently stipple the desired shade of foundation on your entire face, gradually releasing your wrinkles and decreasing the patting process. Re peat this wrinkling procedure when powdering. For very old characters you will add additional high-lights to all bone structure of the cheekbones, jawbones, and frontal bone, shadowing the hollows of the temples, cheeks, and under the eyes. Use in combi nation the wrinkling and squinting procedure. Shadows are of a lighter tone than the lines and wrinkles.
Teeth.—To block out teeth use black tooth enamel. To fill or match teeth in exact colour, use white tooth enamel and add one or two drops of iodine. Dry teeth thoroughly before applying.
For Greying or Whitening Hair.—First use prime colour, preferably blond mascara. Allow to dry and retrace with white mascara. It is not wise to use metallic powders in the hair or metallic colouring on the skin. An open abrasion could cause metallic poisoning.
Cauliflower Ear.—Bend hairpin around back of ear to desired shape and cover with adhesive tape. Cover tape with foundation. To seal ears back use liquid adhesive, not rubber cement. Allow to dry before pressing ears back.
Scar—Use fish-skin. Determine area of scar and cut fish-skin one inch wider and longer than the scar. Use spirit gum on area of skin to adhere fish-skin. Create the desired scar on the fish skin with non-flexible collodion. The use of fish-skin prevents burning the skin.
Bald Head.—Cut a smooth bathing cap the shape of the hair line, allowing one-half inch all around. Glue down with spirit gum. Cover entire surface of the cap with flexible collodion, allow to dry, and apply foundation. (P. WE.)
