Muscles of the face.
Facial expressions.
Everyday we make hundreds of different facial expressions in our face we have many muscles and each one works in co-ordination with others to contract and expand which creates our facial expressions. With age, the facial expressions we make every day produce lines on the skin - frown lines, smile line and laughter lines.( Le Quesne, 2005, p 23) Below the table explains function and what expressions use them.

Many people and books say that it is important to undertsatnd the skull structure and the muscels of the face, especially when doing old age makeup as when we age muscles loose elasticity and the features change creating different shadows giving the aged appearance.
