Tips for Fake Bruises

Reddish and dark purple - fresh bruises
Green and Yellowish - fading bruises

Best places to show bruises -
Neck
Face
Forearms

New Fresh Bruises -
Base coat - red, use sponge to dab onto clean skin, spread and feather into edges, let it fade out naturally, so its darker in the middle and the edges bleed.
Accent colours - purple, let first layer dry, the dab fresh layers of purple and work into red, remeber to keep the colours darker in the middle.
Tip - add translucent powder to tone down colour of bruise to look more natural.

Older Fading Bruises -
Exactly the same technique...
Base colour - purple
Accent colours - dark forest green and yellow
