This is a moulage for a simple bruise. You can
vary the age of the bruise by using more or less of the different
colors. Start
with a Ben Nye F/X Color Wheel for bruises. As you can see, it cost me
$9.50 at a costume store. Most costume stores carry it. Begin by dabbing on the darkest color in a non-specific pattern. Continue to add dabs of color working your way from the darkest shade to the lightest. ![]() Once all four colors are applied, pat the area thoroughly to blend the colors. Adjust as necessary. This simulates a fresh bruise that I put together rather quickly, so it could stand a little touch-up. Originally posted on SSiH eGroup "Tricks of the Trade" by Jimmy Rowland |
