The mid-gray wig is also an immense aid, but failing this, a small amount of powder sifted over the hair will give a similar effect.
“Old-Age” Make-up
If the character desired to be represented is carefully studied, notice being taken of where there is a high light and where the shadows of the face lie, there should be little or no difficulty in producing a lifelike representation.
Particular notice should be taken of wrinkles and lines, and these must be carefully blended as in [Fig. 14].
The next essential is the wig, either gray or white being the most useful. For the old age complexion it is better to get the grease paint for that purpose; but when the necessity for it is but seldom, an application of the sallow paint, or in the case of great emaciation, the addition of a little blue, well blended, will create quite a good effect.
