Cuts and Bruises

I was so excited to do cuts and bruises especially right in time for Halloween!

We started by making a doughnut shape on our arm with makeup, making sure to leave no makeup in the middle! 

We then started to add different colors to the doughnut shape to start to make the bruise look real!

We then used the stifle and put red dots in random spots around the doughnut shape, to represent broken capillaries. 

This is the final bruise from farther away.  I was shocked with how real it looked from a distance!

This is the start of making the bruise around my eye.  I started by putting my shadow color around my eye.  If you look closely you can see how dark it is around my eye.  

I then did the exact steps I did on my arm to my face to get the look of a real bruise!

This is a better closeup of what I started to do around my eye.  I wanted to make it look as real as possible so I extended the bruise onto my nose.  I put a lot of purple to make it darker!

I started the cut by making a thick line of my highlight color on my arm.  

We then dropped the fake blood onto the line and then shook our arm to make the blood drip down the line.  We ripped the cotton off the top of a q-tip to dip the stick part into the fake blood.

Finally, I did the same steps to make a cut by my eye!  I was really proud of myself for how these turned out for my first time trying to make cuts and bruises!
