How to Look Elderly for Halloween

You may have had your fill of playing monsters every Halloween, so it might be time to try a different disguise. Age yourself so that even your own parents won't recognize you. You can make yourself look older than their own parents if you really want to shock them.

Things You'll Need

• Foundation
• Purple eye shadow
• Dark and light brown eyeliner pencils
• Thin makeup brush

Instructions

1. Inspire yourself. Gather pictures of elderly people from your own collection and the Internet.

2. Sketch a design how you want to look and note and particular aspects, such as age spots, deep wrinkles or moles.

3. Wash and dry your face. The makeup won't stick well to oily skin. Put on a pale foundation. Apply an even coat to the neck, ears and face.

4. Apply wrinkles. Scrunch you face and draw a thin line of dark brown eyeliner just above the wrinkles, starting in the center and working toward the ends. Make sure the wrinkle is thickest in the middle. Use a lighter brown eyeliner pencil just below the dark brown line to make the wrinkles more realistic.

5. Add crow's feet and wrinkles around the mouth and nose in the same manner as the forehead wrinkles. Make dark shadows under the eyes with a purple eye shadow.

6. Paint the lips with foundation and create vertical lines in them with the purple eye shadow used under the eyes.

7. Buy spray-on grey hair color and spray it throughout your hair. Depending on how old you want to go, you can streak it or make the entire mane grey.
