"Hi, I'm Aaron and you're watching Expert Village and today we are going to start on an old aged look for a theater. Now we are going to go and define these highlighter lines by taking our shallow line which is going to be a deep brown color and we're going to use our derma-pallet one for that. Here we go, and what you're going to do is you're going to go on straight right along the edge of that highlight, right there, make a clean-cut line. Okay we've got that line, go back up, all right and go under and just make your little marks right under your crows feet. Okay, see how we're looking, all right. And then a little more right along in here. All right, so now you want to go over with your brush and just kind of blend that in the best you can. Smudge the line, drag it up. Dragging up is the best way to smudge that line, but try to keep that sharp line there. You might want to take your sponge, too, in there a little bit. All right. Turn this way. Do you see what I'm doing, I'm just dragging the line inside to cast a shadow, but we're trying our best to keep this straight line here. Right now you can close your eye if you want, drag them down again, blending it in, shading over, see it's giving the appearance of that piece of skin just folding over the eye there. Most elderly people, their eye sockets start to sink in a little bit, so it's kind of giving the appearance of that as well. It's the way of life. Basically, you get the gist of it right. So there we go, we have our old-aged eye right now."
