  • Completed Project: Fake Bruises Picture #1

Scare your neighbors >:]

The Makeup remover is optional, but it does make it MUCH easier to get the eyeliner off.

    Outline the area you'd like your bruise to be in with the eyeliner. Remember, bruises are NEVER perfectly round.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Make a few lines inside your bruise outline, but do not color the entire thing in.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Use the sponge on the end of the eyeliner to smudge it. Continue smudging and adding eyeliner until you have a realistic bruise.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was going for. A friend and I are teaching a class on horror movie make up, so the scarier, the better. :D

Hey thats cool, but some tips (in my home town i do alot of stage make-up and my favorite is blood guts and gore all around)
for older bruises - add a little yellow or green around the outside of the bruise very lightly, so barely noticable but it looks like a healing bruise if you want it like that.

newer bruises, take a bit of red and with a course poreous sponge dot along the eye, on the eyelid, and anywhere you think blood might rise to the top because of a hit, it looks like blood veins. Its better with a cream for this one becaue it looks wet

Want a real shiner? Add a dab of vasiline on top

i really wish i had my own theatre make-up, i'd do a ton of these on here. I know how to do some real gruesome stuff ^^
