Bruising

How to be a successful makeup artist; assist, keep learning, never restrict your creativity, work your but off.

Hello friends

Day 2 of 14 days of makeup I want to talk about my favourite type of 'body art'/ 'special effects' makeup. Bruising.

I think this is definitely the easiest look you can create. all you need is

1. To know the different stages of bruising

2. A eyeshadow brush

3. Different shades of blue, red/pink/purple, purple, green and yellow

Its that simple!

This look can work anywhere on the body. I definitely find this quite time consuming to get the right shades of the colour and to get all over the body can take a while but its definitely  worth it for the end look.

for this look you don't need any certain palettes, you can even use the cheep palettes with 50 colours in I used some eyeshadow I got as apart of a set from Christmas, using the colours I wouldn't normally use for actual eyeshadow.

I wanted to show all the different types if bruising, however if you want to do fresh bruises for example it will be red which will be 0-2 days old, blue/ purple will be 2-5 days old, green will be 5-7 days old, yellow will be 7-10 days old, brown will be 10-14 days 2- 4 weeks will be no evidence of bruising.

I think the key to bruising is layering colour using a dark purple for the base, then going over it and blending it in with a light purple then blending that in with a lilac, doing the same with blue, if I'm doing a green or yellow bruise I will have a base of a medium toned blue and blend it out with green and only using little yellow. you may find it helpful to have a reference picture to look at while doing the bruises

This something on the easier side of effects. there are many different ways of bruising. One way is with body paints I will leave a link HERE to a video I found very helpful and another HERE with the same effect  

Hope you liked day 2 of 14 days of makeup if you want me to cover anything leave a comment or tweet me @p_a_pblog and to be the first to see what iv gotten up to follow my Instagram. See you tomorrow with day 3!
