so... to the topic of bruises!!! I started off by experimenting with watercoloured pencils, makeup and then a mix of the two.
Makeup- i used eyeshadow and eyeliner to try and create the same kind of effect, however the eyeliner was harder to smudge, and therefore didnt get the same bruise effect, although the eyehadows were easier to mix together than the pencils.
Watercolours- i got some water and the pencils and put: blue, black, purple, green, yellow onto my hand, and mixed them a bit, i then added more of these colours to build up on the shading, and to make it look more realisic.
Both- mixted together i think it was the best, as you have a wider variety of colours or shades of colours. The makeup was easier to get off as it is designed to come off easily, however the watercolours were harder to get off, and left a red mark and almost a bruise! The makeup didnt show up on its own, so by adding the watercolours on top make it darker and therefore more realistic. I then finished it off by putting a final layer of eyeshadow to dry the watercolours. I found this to be the best effect and seeing as people kept asking me what i had done, im guessing it was pretty effective!
