    Yellows, greens, and purples can help you create a black eye. Try Google-ing "black eye" and then look for a good picture to copy. Apply the yellow, purple, and green makeup to your skin and create the look.

    If you don’t have makeup, you can create a nice bruise effect with washable markers. Stipple the area with a mixture of blues, reds, and purples, then blend them together with the damp corner of a washcloth.

    For people who are not easy to trick, how can I make it look more realistic? What if I don't have the materials or know how to use them?
    Community Answer
    Try using more green, yellow, and purple colors. Eyeshadow is sold very cheaply at the dollar store and it may be a good idea to practice making a bruise on your hand before you do it on your eye.
  • Question
    What if there is a visible sparkle from the shadow?
    Community Answer
    Use a matte eyeshadow. Matte eyeshadow has a dull finish and will not sparkle.

    I don't have a black eye pencil. What else can I use?

    Black shoe polish, charcoal powder or kids' washable black markers are possible options. Anything used near the eyes should be hypoallergenic to prevent injury to the eye, as skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive.

    Consider using a foundation cream with yellow tones as a starting base. Dollar store should also have matte eye make up materials to help create the look.
