The joy of parenting is seeing your kids grow into happy, healthy adults. However, it’s extremely rare for any parent to see their child enter old age. On average, men live to be 76 years old, and women live to be about 81. Because the average age people have their first child is now 29, most parents will get between 40-50 years to enjoy their children’s lives.
With the help of special FX makeup, these parents were able to experience something incredibly profound. Their kids were aged up with the makeup to look like they’re 80 years old, an age that the parents will likely never get to see during their time on earth. Watch how sweet their reactions are to seeing their kids even older than they are.
Seeing their kids with wrinkles, gray hair, and sunspots brought tears to all of these parents’ eyes. It was precious to see how their child’s laugh lines would deepen and how their overall stature would mature age.
Special FX Makeup
This makeup style is popular in entertainment to transform actors into the character they’re representing. Latex prosthetics can change face shapes to create an entirely new profile. Creams and powders create new shadows that deepen fine lines and contour the face.
The experiment that these parents were a part of wouldn’t be possible without the proper makeup and styling to age their kids up another 50 years. Special FX makeup began being used in the 1920s when film became a popular form of entertainment. Over the years, it became an art form of its own.
