Age 10 to 60 – through Make-up & Photography
Vogue Paris had a very interesting editorial featuring a series of photographs of the 20-years-old model Eniko Mihalik portrayed in the age of 10, 20, … 50, 60 respectively. It’s quite amazing how the overall look can be so malleable, achieved (perhaps not so) simply with tricks of the trade like hairdo, facial expression, make-up, photography angles, etc.
At 10, a certain wide-eyed innocence with a strong suggestion on bare-chestedness, half-exposed teeth (make them seem smaller and less full-grown), very light make-up, looking almost fresh out of a swimming pool or something.
At 20, a rather typical high-school/college girl first getting acquainted with mascara and lip-gloss; expressions of youth with straight hair, painted finger nails and fun accessories (ring); there is a sense of eagerness and anticipation in the expression.
At 30, she looks like she’s been through some really bad relationships, on the roads, and maybe have her life mortgated to drugs and alcohol, doused generally with a sense of cynicism towards the world.
At 40, life reins in as she matures and develops into a more assured woman; the wild sides has not been eliminated totally but tamed to a more nuanced portrayal;
At 50, back to a very classic and enduring look showing a sense of refined sophistication after living through the many decades; tastes have been distilled and generally looks more classy.
Finally at 60, the beauty grows inwards as the outer appearance are toned down in favor of more subtle expression (cropped hairdo, plain top), with a sense that the inner wisdom is now far more distinguishing than the outer appearance.

It’s really quite amazing that all these were achieved simply by modifying the external “packaging” on a person – that probably goes to show how precise the media can turn and distort “reality” by modifying how it is presented. Great works.

[...] Found this article on how a Dutch model, Eniko Mihalik is transformed with make-up to look like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years old. The article says that by just changing the external packaging of a human, the photographer and the make-up artist can completely change ones appearance. I am now packaged with moustache and look like 40 year old trucker with a serious alcohol problem. My external package is horrible. [...]

In her “30s” and “40s”, she looks amazingly like Ashley Judd
i like this idea but i don’t know any 40, 50 or 60 year olds who look that youthful. the 60 year old looks like she just hit 40.

It makes sense. There are days when people are surprised that I am as old as I am (29), and others where I don’t get carded because I look over 35. All depends on my hair, makeup, clothing and attitude.
