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
