Well, you don't want to make them look cakey, you want to make them look old. it's really all about shadows & highlights. you need to create the look of wrinkles, age spots, bags under the eyes, etc.
I personally haven't done something like this before, but a friend of mine has & said it wasn't that hard to create the look. I would check out YouTube videos & definitely practice on yourself first.. more than once if you can (:
hope I could help! xx

I agree with the other ladies suggesting YouTube! Create wrinkles with makeup, I helped out with my schools theater makeup when I was in high school and seriously just adding the wrinkles mad people age so much lol.

Just do their makeup normally then use a brown eyeliner and have them smile and crinkle there eyes then jus lightly trace all the wrinkles then smudge a bit and give them some under eye bags with dark brown eyeshadow and blend it then put powder over everything.

Just use contour powder and create creases and wrinkles in the skin.

70 in theatre is more like 85 since it needs to be exaggerated to compensate for lighting and distance.
