WITCH MAKEUP PART 2: Aging the Skin

LEVEL: Intermediate/Advanced

TIME: 1.5 to 2 hours

In part one of our witch makeup tutorial, special effects makeup artist Kat Lieberkind perfected the art of the prosthetic nose. Watch part two above as Kat shares her tried-and true aging techniques for even the oldest of hags. Skip to 1:10 and see exactly how eye wrinkles work, and watch what Kat does with a toothbrush at 4:00!
