How do you make a 5 yr old girl look as if she is 100 yrs old?

Question

I just posted a similar question but figured I may have not worded it properly. My daughter is 5 yrs old and is in Kindergarten. We (her parents) were asked to send her to school on Tuesday, dressed as if she were 100 years old. {All of the Kindergartener's are supposed to dress this way} Not as if she were in school 100 yrs ago, but as if she is 100 years of age. My only idea was to put her hair in a bun and put white powder in it to make it appear whiteish. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks everyone!

Answer 1

I have no idea why the kindergarten want you to do this but then halloween children dress up because its some sort of event.

My daughter likes looking like an old hag for halloween and aged so i get plain flour and water, add a drop of foundation, make it into a paste but not too watery, i put it all over her face thinly and wait for it to dry. It wrinkles on its own and i then i get a light grey eye shadow and brush a small amount under the eyes to creat dark circles but not so it really stands out.

Old people always tend to have a curly hair on their chins for some reason. Pluck a curly hair from someone, cut it short and use temporary make up glue or eyelash glu and stick it to her chin. It washes off easily. Always use a base cream as childrens skins are delicate.

Or get a face pack for delicate skin and add a drop of foundation for the colour.

Old people tend to wear shawls and hair nets over the bun. And they wear stockings and straight plain dowdy dresses.

Good luck

Get some tissue paper the same color as her skin (white is OK if you are white, or tan if you are darker skinned). Soak the thin sheets of tissue paper in Karo syrup and place it on the skin, kind of pushing it and wrinkling it as you go. It will dry and become transparent and look like wrinkles. It usually last over an hour before it starts to get irritating, and it washes off easily.

Also, you could put a little dress and a cardigan on her, and stuff the top back part of the sweater to make it look like she has an old lady hump. You can also use a tan eyeliner to draw wrinkles around the corner of her eyes and mouth. LIttle glasses (a few bucks at the Dollar Store) might make her look older, just pop out the lenses so she can see.

Sounds fun!

Hey, Beside dressing her "old" and whiting her hair out, you can take a white eyeliner and a brown eyeliner and ask her to wrinkle her face. Smile, frown, squint her eyes, anywhere you see natural lines and wrinkling draw a line with the brown liner, then come back over it with the white. That is the trick to stage make-up. If done properly it will look real.

Answer 4

Draw lines on the whitish face like grooves in her skin
put a tea pot cover on her head and have a scarf around the lot Old women dress for warmth and dont care about how they look. Make a pair of no lens glasses that look old and well used. paint a few teeth with a harmless black as though there a few missing

Answer 5

Pretty easy.. but I used to do SPFX mak up.. liquid latex (crinkleled and ripped) on the face and grey and charcole black eyeshadows for highlights on the face as well as regular # 2 foundation.. and black & white clothes... If you wanna get really fancy morticians wax for major bumps and creases

I can make any 5 year old look 100 or any 50 year old look like shes in her 20's (hey I can only do so much)LOL

Answer 6

pancake makeup on her face, put it on wet and uneven then have her scrunch her face in to all sorts of contortions, anywhere she produces a line, like around her eyes or mouth, take a light brown pencil and out line it. take erasers from a chalk board and clap them over her hair ( if she has dark hair it works best) to give her the apperance of gray, put her hear in a bun....give her a pair of glasses even if she just wears them on a chain around her neck, get a flowery prim dress from the goodwill and some theraputic lookin black shoes this worked great for me when I was katherine Hepburn for a school interview good luck

Since the life expectancy in America is nowhere near 100, I'd suggest a ghost costume.

Answer 8

Use a brown eyeliner to draw on wrinkles, put her hair in a bun and have her wear a longer skirt that day and a shawl on her shoulders.

Answer 9

You can use a very sharp gray eyeliner pencil to draw wrinkle lines on her forehead and under her eyes. Use a brown one to draw age spots on her arms and face. If you have an old pair of glasses, remove the lenses so she can wear them all day.

Answer 10

i have never seen a 100 year old
