  • Question
    Can you use Halloween makeup?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Depending on the type, cream could work, and so could grease. Eye shadow and alcohol or waterpaints can also be used.

  • Question
    Can I use halloween makeup for this? And if I did, would it look realistic?
    Community Answer
    You could, but it would be a bit harder. I recommend eyeshadow, a chalky product, or alcohol paints. Look up Glam and Gore or Madeyewlook on YouTube for more help.

  • Question
    How could I make finger marks, as if someone grabbed my arm?

    Community Answer
    Cover your fingers and fingertips in the makeup, or have a friend do it, then either do it yourself or have said friend grip your arm tightly.

  • Question
    How can I cover my entire face with a bruise?
    Community Answer
    Cover your face with red makeup, then apply purple, blue, yellow, and black. Next, create a matte surface using face powder. Be sure to leave a few non-bruised spots in order to achieve a more realistic result.

  • Question
    I'm going to try this for cosplay, but how long will it last?
    Community Answer
    It lasts for several hours, but you may want to bring your makeup with you just in case you need to retouch.

  • Question
    Where can I buy the makeup from?
    Community Answer
    Try a Halloween or costume store; if you can't get to a store like that, try Walmart or Target.

  • Question
    Can I do this with paint?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can, although the thickness of the paint might make it less believable.

  • Question
    Can I do this with pens? Would putting a bit of clothing over it make it more realistic?
    Community Answer
    Doing it with pens could also work, but because of the way pens "flow" it won't look that believable. I highly recommend using eyeshadow or something else that has a "chalky" texture.

  • Question
    Can I use poster paint to make a fake bruise?
    Community Answer
    It is doubtful that it'd work well. It might irritate the skin and the coloring of such paint will look less believable.

  • Question
    Can I use oil pastels to make a fake bruise?
    Community Answer
    You cant really use oil pastels, as they have a very thick texture and won't apply as smoothly as if you use something like eye shadow or chalk.

    Yes this tutorial will work for all skin tones. Depending on how deep your skin tone is, you might have to use darker colors, so that they show up better.
