old-age: various movies

This page features ageing makeups from movies and TV dramas applied to various black and Asian actresses.

Epic Movie: Four troubled orphans – Edward, Peter, Lucy (Jayma Mays) and Susan (Faune Chambers) – from four separate movie scenarios receive golden tickets and go on an ‘epic adventure’. Escaping from a very scary Willy Wonka, they discover the magical world of Gnarnia (silent ‘G’) where – with the help of a randy lion, a hoard of mutants, students of witchcraft and wizardry, funky swash-buckling pirates, and a mischievous beaver – they defeat the evil white bitch! Then they rule Gnarnia happily until, in their old-age, they find the way back through the wardrobe. Douglas Noe was makeup department head; Matthew W Mungle was responsible for prosthetic design and application. Unfortunately, as with many makeup intense movies, I am unable to credit which of the many makeup artists working on the movie worked on these particular makeups: if anyone can clarify who was responsible for these makeups, please email me.

Xiang ri kui (Sunflower): tells the story of the relationship between a father and son while Chinese society undergoes huge changes in the last quarter of the twentieth centiry; Xiuqing (Joan Chen) is the mother. I do not have the makeup credits for this movie; if anyone can help, please email me.
