How to Give Someone a Black Eye


Black eyes, they happen to clumsy people, people who get in fights, and some people who can't catch. So as a make up artist it is a good idea to know how to give some one a black eye. 

Here are the items you will need...
  1. Nose and scar wax
  2. Lotions (lots of lotions)
  3. Bruises makeup wheel 
    1. with green and purple
    2. with red and yellow
  4. Skin tone make up
  5.  Sponges
  6. paint brush
  7. Translucent Powder
  8. Some form of a wedge
Now here's the steps you should take.
  1.  Apply lotion to your hands, or else the putty will stick to you
  2. apply putty around your actors eye area making sure to smooth down the edges
  3.  once finished applying the putty and blending the edges it is time to start the make up application. This is very tricky. The putty will want to stick to your sponge or brush unless you first apply lotion to the putty.
  4. Apply light amounts of lotion to the putty and then shade your eye and make sure to shade onto the skin and not just the putty
    1. first red
    2. then green
    3. purple
    4. skin tone
  5. Then lightly apply your powder being careful to only dust the eye area 
  6. Now go show off your handy work cause you have just given your friend a black eye.



 The whole process looks something like this.
