ADVANCED BRUISE MAKE-UP
BY: Arissa Beck
Hey there Indy Moulers! It’s me Arissa Beck back wit some make-up effects for you. This week I’ll be showing you how to create a realistic bruised eye effect.
This type of effect can be adapted to most parts of the body. With a little creativity and a basic understanding of human anatomy, you can make anyone looked batter and bruised without have to put up your dukes.
Supplies:
• Nose & Scar wax
• Liquid Latex
• Crème or Powder shadows
• Brushes
• Small blending spatula
You want to start off with a clean fresh face. Have your model wash their face with a special cleanser or some soap and water. You want to remove some of the natural oils the face produces. This will help the wax and latex adhere better.
You want to take a small amount of the nose and scar wax and place it above your models eye. Place it on the brow ridge. This will help simulate a swollen ridge from trauma.
Start by smoothing the blob of wax with the small spatula. If you can’t find a small enough tool to work with, use the end of a make-up or paintbrush.
After you have the eye brow ridge smoothed, seal the wax with a very thin layer of latex. This will help everything remain in place as well help your make-up stick when applying it.
You can then start on the cheek area. Using the same technique as above, take a small amount of wax and add it to the highest part of the cheek.
Smooth and seal like above. After the latex is dried, powder the latex to keep it and other things from sticking to it. You now are ready to apply your make-up.
You want to start off with applying your lightest colors first. In this case yellow. Apply it to the peaks of the wax. Look at photos of how real bruises appear for inspiration and help.
Next is the process of blending by adding other colors. I moved on with a brown color.
Next are some reds. Again use your brush to blend and reference photos to help you see the bruise.
Next add some purple. And you want to add a bit of red on the top lid and lower lid to create irritation.
More blending. At this point you want to use a flesh tone to add some highlights in some spots as well. You can also use a stipple sponge with some red crème make-up on it to simulate broken blood vessels.
When you are satisfied with how the bruise looks you are finished. Now it’s time to make freak out everyone with your realistic bruised eye.
I hope you guys enjoyed this make-up tutorial. Please sow your support by leaving some comments down below.
