Makeup: Bruised eye

That's got to hurt: 'Bruised Eye'

What I did...

This week the task was to create a bruised eye, we looked at different images in class and created my version. I created this using the supra color and the bruise wheel by Mehron to achieve this. When creating this is started to look a bit theatrical but when I started to build up the products and blend it started to look like a huge bruised eye, I thought about how it was created and It looks like a severe punch to the eye created by a fight scene.

Health and safety

• Make sure your model is covered up with a gown to protect their clothes from product spillage, just in case, as this is a messy job.
• Prep the skin (cleanse, tone and moisturise)
• Be careful around the eyes when applying products/makeup
• Use barrier foam when applying SFX onto the skin e.g. blood, latex, gelatine
• Keep hair away from the face when applying products/ makeup
• Decant products between each model
• Keep work surface clear and surrounding area 

When looking at my images there are a few things I would of done again, I would of used more deep purple tones and yellows in it. 

However, I was happy with my first attempt at creating the bruised eye, I feel I could of used more colouring in with yellow tones and purples tones to create a more realistic look. When blending it, it started to look better a more realistic but for future bruised eyes i would of done this.

  Products & Materials used:

• Supra Color red, pink & purple
• Bruise wheel by Mehron
• Kabuki brush and small eye shadows brushes to create detail
