Graftobian Old Age Makeup Kit

I did not rely on the package instructions, but watched a few YouTube tutorials. I practiced twice before our community theater production. Some tips: *apply over foundation (obv) *Try the colors on the back of your hand to see how they look on your skin. *Follow a tutorial you like. At first I tried the recommended colors in the instructions but used too red a base for shadows. The next time I chose a tint that made more sense for my skin, which is extremely light-cored. *I settled on 3 main colors: shadow, highlight, and wrinkle. Blend to your desired level. My venue was a 100 person theater. I touched up with the pencils, used the reddest color for a lip base. Do lips before adding lip age lines so the wrinkles are on top.

I got this for my character as Grandma Addams in the Addams Family Musical, performed in a 600 seat theater. I used a YouTube video to create the look, using Mehron makeup. But I used this kit for the age spots, using three of the colors with the stipple. It was the cherry on top & made it perfect! My camera wanted to clarify my skin, so I changed the filter settings to better see the stippling effect, as seen in person. Very happy with this purchase!

I like the quality of the makeup. My only issue was that my skin is pretty light, so I wish the highlight for the wrinkles was white...other than that, it is working just fine.

Instructions were a little difficult at first. They should label the color. Shade color can vary to person. What i think is plum might be more purple than others. I suggest you read through the Instructions first. I applied it on two different occasions on myself and thought it was great makeup and easy once I understand the directions. Apply using your own wrinkles or where they would be. Make faces to find your hard lines than enhance them with the makeup. Its fun. And the pic without the white wig is after 9 hours of working with a dam face mask on. It held up well.

Used this as to dress as an old man for Halloween. Worked excellent for me, very fun costume idea. Takes a bit of skill to apply, but looks great. White hair chalk really makes a difference especially in the eye brows. Good value, probably can get a couple of uses out of it. Didn't work as well for my girlfriend as she has darker skin, better for a light skinned person.

The makeup itself was ok. The directions weren’t clear enough as they named what to use in the palette but the palette itself wasn’t labeled. Worst thing, though, was that one of them had less than half the materials it was supposed to have and was so was virtually useless. Amazon refunded me in full for that one.

I work at the Halloween store and we do theme days and I needed something in a whim. I never did old people makeup before so I was scared. I looked up some tutorials online and it actually came out SO good. Got tons of laughs and compliments all night. Great kit!

The make up itself seems to be a good quality, but I am not satisfied with the color selection at all. Either I do not understand how this process works or the colors are far too purple. They left the whole face, looking red and weird. The directions are not clear. They are definitely written for someone who has professional makeup experience. Also, the colors are unlabeled, so I’m not even sure I was using the colors as directed.
