 When creating a bruise it is important to consider what caused the bruise as this could affect the shape and severity. You will be required to create bruising aroung the site of more severe injuries. The bruise is irregularly formed with a depth of colour that fades at the outside edges. The make-up can be applied with sponges, brushes or clean finger tips, and blended very well.

How to:

• Paint crimson-red in the deep corner of the eye socket
• Paint red-crimson under the eye pouch
• Paint deep purple under the lower eye-socket and on the inner corner of the eyebrow and suggest a circle to create and under eye pouch
• Fade out the crimson into a more reddish colour
• Use a greenish tinge under the outside corner of rhe eyebrow and eye
• Use a yellowish tinge out from the green
• If the eye looks too colorfull or the colours looks disjointed, take a stipple sponge and blend. If  you want the bruise to look swollen, apply some Vaseline iver the make-up to create the shiny, streched surfaceof a new bruise.

For dark skin tones, omit the green  and yellow stages and concentrate on using blacks, blues and purples to create the desired effect.
