The prominences of the forehead and cheek bones are next accentuated with nose-paste (Fig. 1).
The wig is placed in position and the forehead made up with a ground work of 2-1/2, yellow, and 13, a flesh colour that should suggest parchment. The wig is then removed until the make-up is almost finished. This keeps it from becoming soiled.
Covering the face with groundwork is the next step. A sunken appearance is given to the eyes by painting round them with brown. Shadows are worked into the cheeks. Lines are drawn from the inner corners of the eyes down on to the cheeks. Similar lines are indicated at either side of the nose. A broad perpendicular stripe from the nose to the top of the forehead, and the temples are darkened.
Yellowish high lights are placed on the forehead at either side of the central shadow and round the temples in such a way that their depth is accentuated.
High lights on the cheek bones and above the various wrinkles make the face more vigorous.
