Super easy special effect bruises !

         How to Make Special Effect Bruises

 Hey Fxers as you can see in the photo off to the side I kind of got into a fight.  I didn't exactly  win. I'm just kidding today I'm going to show you how to make special effect bruises!
it is literally the most simple beginning special effect look you can achieve. You can do this in a variety of different ways . 9 out of 10 times I use eye shadow to create bruising for my looks, But today in the photo your see to your left I used something called an injury stack.

I'm going to explain how you could achieve the same look with both. First ill talk about how to do this look with the injury stack. An injury stack is a stack of  5 different colored cream based paints used  to create a variety of different "Injury's" you would see in the special effects world. The stack  includes two different types of reds, a deep purple, a black , and a tan color. Basically you start with a base color I used the darker red. I blended that out into my skin, and then stuck the deep purple color on top of it. And repeated the process. I then started to blend in tiny amounts of the other colors. Meaning the black , tan , and lighter red. Blending in these 3 colors small amounts at a time gives the bruise you are creating it's texture. you can add in as much as you want to you get the desired affect!

To create this look using eye shadow its the same process. You need a  red, blue , green, purple, and black  color. You start with a base. Again I use red but you don't have to. Once again you blend out your base color and then add your second color on top of your base and blend it out also. You then take your remaining colors and blend them in small amounts into your two main colors until you get your desired effect ! I have a very awkward video below of myself explaining  how to make these buries . So if you want to suffer through that you are welcome to.
