Creating black eyes and cuts

Black eye

When creating a black eye it is a good idea to use an image of bruising as a guideline to analyse the colour when creating a black eye/bruise. Firstly apply foundation around the  area or the eye and onto the face and blend out using a buffer brush. Next apply several colours such as reds blacks purples blues and yellows to the area and blend out using a blending brush.
If you are creating a bruise which is red and slightly swollen apply a small amount of Vaseline to the area to make the bruising appear more sore.

Cut

Firstly I created a fine line with a fine make-up brush and a light red from my  supracolour pallet.
Next I used my blending brush to blend the line out into the skin.
Then I applied a darker layer of red over top of the faded line and blended the line out with the blending brush. Finally  I started to create broken lines with my fine line brush and dark red mixed with a small amount of black.
In order to make the cut appear more realistic I had to really blend the product into the skin and keep layering up the supracolour.
