Producing Effective Bruises

We decided it would be sensible to practice Sarah's bruising on Lara before we began filming so as we knew what we were doing when it came to it. We used a variety of eyeshadows and a lipgloss whown below.




 



We used dark eyeshadow colours, black, browns, and grey, tocreate the base to our bruise.

We then blended this to the skin using a cotton bud and a lighter shade of brown.

Once happy with the effect we added a hint of purple and blue to the centre of the bruise to create a recency effect.

We then experimented with producing cuts with the lipgloss by applying it in small amount and smudging it to look realistic.

once happy with our trial we completed the same steps on Lara's face as shown bellow.
