How do I create a black eye using makeup?3 replies

I need to create a black eye with makeup for an upcoming photoshoot.

What makeup (or paint) do I use?

I know I have to make it look like a bruise with reds, purples and yellows, but I don’t know what materials to use.
I’ve seen many people use paint.

Thanks.

   Use kohl beneath your eye and start rubbing with a sponge. On the outer part of the half circle put on some foundation to blend it in. Try a little green to make it look more “bruisey”. Repeat on the top lid. Hope that helped

   I think that if you use paint it will be very bold and fake looking.
   If you use eye shadow, I think that it will be thin enough to make it look more realistic.

   If there is a really thin paint, then that might be good, but I think that you should use eye shadow, and I think a foundation sponge would work well for spreading it.

   Hope that helped, good luck!
