Simple Bruising Makeup Tutorial


I had a lot of people ask me how to do bruising for special effects makeup. This is one of the many ways, and it's simple too. If you don't have the products that I do, just work with what you have, and get super creative! I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck! =D

Products that I used:

Hard Candy's Eyeshadow Primer
Coastal Scents 88 Color Eyeshadow Palette (http://Amazon.com)


You can also use a bruise wheel for this look. The reason I like to use eyeshadow is because it doesn't wear off your face as easy as any kind of face paint you buy. Setting powders usually help, but can wear off after a few hours.

Zombie Wound Makeup Tutorial


This tutorial will show you how to create the wounds like a zombie. Zombies like from Left 4 Dead run around and get beat up a lot. So this takes a toll on ones body. Their is usually a lot of bruising and a lot of blood, but since you already get the idea of bruising and such, I'd thought I switch off to the wounded part of the look.
Now... LET'S GO EAT SOME BRAINS!!! LMAO!!! XD
I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck! =D

Tutorials and Videos;

               Well, I know I haven't been posting up a lot of my new makeup tutorials on here lately. I've been so busy doing other stuff, and getting other tutorials together that I didn't even have the time to post up finished ones and the newest ones. I am sorry for that, but now I'm gonna be getting myself back on track, and all the newest videos will be posted up shortly. 
                You're also going to be seeing my most recent makeup tutorial. A special effects makeup tutorial. It's called Ripped Skin. It will show you how to create another bloody and gory wound using liquid latex. No glue, or rubber cement. The liquid latex that you will be seeing in this video is going to be liquid latex I ordered off of http://liquidlatex.com [[[=

Bloody Mary Inspired Makeup


Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary...
She was accused of being a witch. Children went missing one by one. She was then burnt at the stake. They say if you chant her name three times in a dark room in a mirror, her soul will appear and take you in the mirror with her. You will then be trapped in the mirror forever and burn like her forever...
Turn yourself into the folklore witch, and make the people that chant the name burn forever...
I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck! =D

3rd Degree Burn (Freddy Krueger Inspired Look)


Freddy Krueger... My favorite killer of all time. Robert England's character inspired me to create this look. It may not be just like Freddy's burns, but don't forget, this is just an inspired look. Turn yourself into a nightmare, and haunt the teenagers in their dreams. I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck! =D

My very first horror movie that I ever watch was the Nightmare on Elm Street as a child. After the first time watching it, I fell in love with Robert England and his famous roll of Freddy Krueger. 
Freddy Krueger (Robert England), inspired me to create this look. The old Freddy Krueger though. When Freddy first started in the older film. When he was actually all bloody and burnt. The newer Freddy is cool, but not as good. Lol! xD
