Why was DeForest in old-man makeup?

The Starfleet Perk is indeed what they call it.....
Not hide it, just stop short of explicitly stating it.
You're right. However in looking at the above shots of Leto and Stewart BOTH appeal less to me that bald PicardIt can't be used as a metric for young though can it? Especially in an industry of image. I'm not trying to insult anyone, or suggest he's bad looking. Many think quite the opposite, but it's hardly fair to say gray hair doesn't elicit associations of old age. It's one of the most noticeable effects of getting older. Coupled with male pattern baldness, which isn't exactly the same as voluntarily shaving bald, & yes it does evoke an image of aging.
Stewart is quite possibly the most confident man to EVER sport the male pattern baldness look, but he did look 50 when he was 44, & it wasn't just balding & graying that did it. It's his genetics.
This is Jared Leto at 47, who still looks 27, & a dark haired, full hair piece wearing Stewart at 35, with wrinkles, creases, furls, etc... His face has looked miraculously the same for 40 years, that is to say... not youthful
Jeanne Louise Calment (1875-1997) At ages 40, 60, 120.
Leonard H. McCoy (2227-????) At Ages 40, 60, 137.
I'd say old Bones is looking pretty good, for being 15 years older than the oldest living person in recorded history
Leonard H. McCoy (2227-????) At Ages 40, 60, 137.

Frankly, Stewart always looked better without hairYou're right. However in looking at the above shots of Leto and Stewart BOTH appeal less to me that bald Picard
All those delicious Georgia mint juleps could have contributed to the way he looks as well.
May I remind you, ensign, that mint juleps are indigenous to Kentucky, the place of my birth.
Next year will mark twenty five years since AGT. Someone should do a comparison to see how everyone ended up (since Picard moved ahead twenty five years).
I know. Bones referred to them as “Georgia Mint Juleps” in This Side of Paradise.
Ahhh! Your knowledge of dialogue supersedes my indigenous Kentucky pride.

Off-topic a bit; imagine the life you'd have living from 1875 to the 1990s. Just, seriously.
Steam engines to satellites. Rotary printing press to world-wide web. The beginnings of the German Empire, 2 world wars, & the rise & fall of Soviet Russia. Lived through 25 of the 45 U.S. presidents, from Grant to Clinton. Pretty much twice as long as anyone in that time was expected to live. 2 life times. That 1st photo is basically right around when they began having film photography, & the 2nd was around WW1, the 3d is after she'd outlived the Soviet Union
...I wonder how that works in the Trek reality. Did McCoy live in The Century When Everything Happened, as compared to the classmates of George Kirk or William Riker? Or does everybody, always, live in The Century When Everything Happened - as compared to those who came before him or her?
ITRW, the accelerating pace and increasing reach of things takes care of lives being increasingly interesting on the average. The Federation isn't shown accelerating much, instead inventing few new tech and adopting few new practices between 2161 and ST:NEM (although we miss out on the decades when replicators and holodecks supposedly produced a big change). But the Federation does keep expanding, arguably making history more intense by the year.
Janeway's crew does feel McCoy lived through some pretty savage times. But do they envy him for interesting times?

Neither can I. It took me quite a while to realize that it was him the first time I saw that episode.
That's weird... I knew him the very second he waddled on screen, especially when he started talking
There’s a trick to it.
Look for the one that looks and sounds like DeForrest Kelley.
You know if I squint very hard he kinda looks like my neighbor... with carnival makeup on.
