Bruised Makeup Tutorial

Bruising 101

Remember! Don't use shimmery products!! Matte is always your best bet for bruising.
Use picture references if you aren't sure how bruises should look naturally.
Yellow and warm browns are your friend!
Avoid Magenta!! It will look too "fake" and manufactured and come across as face paint. It's less convincing.

To darken up the eye, add some black or more of that eggplant colour to really get that deep socket believable.

If you want a "fresher" bruise, use less yellow/brown, and more red/blue/purple. Again, use pictures as references.
If you want your "Cuts" to stay longer, I suggest using a red lipliner instead of a lipstick (Unless it's long-wearing) so that it doesn't smudge.

If doing bruising on a body part, try using more cream products to get the effect as powder products will probably not last as long.

Pair this with a ripped up outfit, teased hair and maybe some blood spatter and you'll have a sick fight look!
