Old age makeup is amongst the most challenging makeup effects. The aged exist in nature for all to compare against, whereas monsters are products of fantasy.

Techniques can include:

• Old Age Stipple for fine wrinkling
• hair coloring or wig work
• Use of highlight and shadow to simulate the appearance of sagging skin and muscle groups
• Prosthetics
• changes in skin color
• dental plumpers
• contacts for veiled coloration in the eyes
• break up of the skin tones
