Want to look like you've been in a fight? You can learn to make fake bruises like real ones using a variety of easy-to-find methods and tools. You can also try to convince your friends that the fake bruises are real!
Step
Method 1 of 5: Using Regular Makeup
Step 1. Prepare some dark eyeshadow
Dark eyeshadow that you apply to your skin can make it look like a real bruise, as if you've just hit something. Try using your parents' eyashadow, or ask permission to borrow it.
- If you want to make the bruise look really real, try mixing dark blue, dark purple, and black to create it.
- The makeup you use should not be shiny and shimmery. If your bruise looks like it's twinkling, it won't look like it's original.
Step 2. Apply a small amount of makeup to the tip of the brush
Wet the brush slightly, and apply a thin layer of eyeshadow.
Step 3. Gently apply makeup to your skin
You have to do it slowly little by little at first. You can thicken it if necessary. Apply makeup to skin in circular motions, and blend into your skin.
- Small bruises usually look more convincing. Make a bruise the size of two coins.
- Run the brush over the edges of the bruise to blend the makeup and make it look more real. Don't apply too much makeup, or it will look weird.
Step 4. Add another color
Depending on the cause of the bruise you describe, add another color to make it look more convincing. You can apply a cut, peel, or other color to the bruise.
- Rub red blush around the bruise to make it appear rosy once your desired bruise color has formed. Colors like this will make you feel like you've just been scratched by a rough object.
- Add yellow to the outer edges of the bruise if you want to make it look like an old injury.
- Scratches are usually difficult to fake. But you can use a red pointy pen if you want to try it.
Method 2 of 5: Using Face Paint
Step 1. Prepare face paint or sweat resistant paint
If you want to make a bruise that looks really real, use face paint. Once you've purchased a simple set of colors, you'll have plenty of options to create truly life-like bruises that everyone will believe in you.
Step 2. Use a makeup sponge
Most face paint sets come with a sponge, not a brush or other tool. A sponge is the best tool for applying makeup to make it look like a bruise.
If you don't have a sponge, use some of the yellow sponge you use to wash cars or other things. Ask your parents if this kind of sponge is in the house
Step 3. Prepare something to blend the paint
After buying a series of paint colors, you can remove them on newsprint, in addition, prepare a few sheets of tissue or other cloth to blend the layers. Use a light coat of paint so your bruise doesn't look fake.
Step 4. Dab a bright red color on the tip of the sponge
Take one corner of the sponge and dab it on a bright red color. A recently formed bruise contains a lot of blood so this color is suitable for a recent injury, not a serious one.
These paints come in ready-to-use packages, or they may need to be diluted with a little water beforehand. Follow the instructions listed on the packaging
Step 5. Blend the paint that is too thick
Once the paint is on the sponge, dab it once or twice on the paper towel or cloth you prepared. Don't use too much paint, as you'll have a hard time removing it.
Professional makeup artists have a special color palette to help with this process. Use a palette if you can, as it's a great tool for blending and blending colors
Step 6. Gently dab the paint onto your skin
Gently dab the sponge in a circular motion to the point you want to make a bruise appear. You only need to dab 2-4 times to make the color of the part look convincing. Do not smear too thick.
This sponge will make the paint look uneven and mottled, like blood coming out of your skin
Step 7. Coat it with blue
Use another corner of the sponge to dab some of the bright blue on top of the red. Remove some of the paint on the sponge, dab it into a tissue, then apply it to your skin as before, but thinner.
While they may seem odd, the capillaries in your skin will appear blue in certain bruises, which will eventually darken. A little blue will make it look real
Step 8. Add another color to make it look more convincing
If you want the bruise to look old, you can dab a bit of green or yellow on the outer edge of another color.
Add another color lightly. Sometimes a little red and blue is enough to make the bruise look real. Don't use too much paint
Method 3 of 5: Using a Pencil
Step 1. Choose some colors
If you use a regular pencil, your bruise will look old and almost healed. However, if you use a variety of colors, it will look more attractive.
Use a regular pencil, as well as blue and purple pencils to make the bruises
Step 2. Draw a circle on the paper and start coloring it
Use the pencil horizontally, and quickly rub it over the surface of the paper, so that the color is thick enough to trace onto your skin. Even if you feel the color is thick enough, continue until it's really thick.
- Repeat this step with the other pencils, making a different circle for each one. If you just make one circle, the colors will blend together and turn brown, so it doesn't look like a bruise.
- Instead of using plain paper, use sandpaper instead. That way, you don't have to make the pencil color too thick.
Step 3. Apply flakes of pencil color to your skin
Run your fingertip into the circle of the pencil's color, then rub it into the skin where you want the bruise to appear. Gently blend the edges to make it look real.
If you apply only a small amount, the flakes will easily come off the skin. So, keep rubbing it until it sticks. Make sure to dab a fairly bold color
Step 4. Bold the color until it looks like real
Usually, dabbing red, blue, and purple first, then continuing with a regular pencil color to blend them in will give the best and true-to-life results.
- Start with red, then layer it with thicker colors like purple and blue. Then paint a regular pencil color over it when you're done, to blend the edges.
- It really depends on skin color and various other factors. Consider it yourself and try it until the bruise you make looks real.
Method 4 of 5: Using a Marker
Step 1. Use markers of basic colors
Use a non-permanent marker that resembles the color of the bruise. Dark reds, blues, and purples are great choices. Use a tan (or yellow and brown) to color the edges as well.
- Be sure not to use metallic or glitter markers, which of course won't cause real bruising when applied to your skin.
- Highlighters can also give bruises the perfect yellow color. Use a yellow highlighter instead of a yellow marker, if you have one.
Step 2. Start in the middle using red
Make a red circular shape in the center of the bruise using a little marker on your skin. Use it with care, as red marker is very easy to make any bruises you make look fake.
Smear the marker until it looks speckled, then blend the colors together. There's no need to worry about bruising now, the important thing is to give your skin the right color
Step 3. Give the layer another color
A real bruise isn't just one color, it's a collection of slightly odd colors. Layer the red with the darkest color to soften the look. Dab a little more color on top of the red circle. Add yellow around the circle when you're done, then blend everything outwards.
Step 4. Blend all the colors together
Blend the colors to make the shape look more like a bruise and look real. Wet one of your fingers, and quickly rub it over the bruise, so the color blends in. This can make your bruise appear much more convincing.
Method 5 of 5: Trick Your Friends
Step 1. Determine the right part
If you want to make your bruise look real, pick the right part. Some parts of the body don't bruise very easily, so you should choose areas that are fatty, or parts of the body that are prone to injury. The most appropriate body parts for making fake bruises are usually:
- Arm.
- Foot.
- forehead.
- Chest or shoulders.
- Avoid the area around or near the eyes.
Step 2. Make your bruise look real
You can try and play around, but if you want to trick your friends, make it real. Take the time to get it right and try different color combinations until you get a convincing bruised look that matches your skin tone.
Don't make bruises that are too circular. If the shape is like a perfect circle, the bruise will appear artificial. Real bruises are irregular and odd in shape
Step 3. Hide the bruise
If you want someone to believe that you've just been seriously injured, you have to fake it a bit and not tell them too quickly. To trick your friend, hide the bruise with clothes or a hat until it's time for you to open it.
Bruises made with a pencil are very difficult to hide without removing the color. Bruises like this should be shown immediately to trick your friend. If you want to make the bruise more convincing, try using makeup or something else
Step 4. Pretend to be injured
Convincing-looking bruises? Already. Unexpected friend? Already. Wait for the right time, when you play or touch. Then, pretend to be injured. Wait for your friend to approach, then point out the bruised area and start screaming in pain.
- Convince him. Pretend you are in pain and look angry. This method can build sympathy and make your friend feel anxious.
-
If you don't want to pretend you're in pain, you can rub the bruise and say something like:
- "You should have seen my opponent."
- "This wound when I worked in the oil mines."
- "I fell off my dad's motorbike."
Step 5. Show your fake bruise
After feigning injury or bragging, it's time to show off your fake bruises. Pull your sleeves up and moan loudly saying "ouch! look at it! it hurts!" or you can pretend to be relaxed and strong by saying, "This doesn't hurt."
- Show it quickly and quickly cover it back up so your friends don't have time to look at it closely and find out.
- If you're accused of using glitter eyeshadow to make a bruise, say that you're embarrassed and try to cover it up with glitter makeup.
Step 6. Tell the truth
Once your friends believe it, the most interesting part of this trick is removing the bruise with your finger. Remove your bruise, then look at your confused friend, and say "you've been tricked!"
- Continuing this hoax in the long term is not a good choice, especially if the cause you are describing is fighting or getting hit by someone. You can fool your friends, but tell the truth too.
- Use warm water and soap to wash off the eyeshadow once you're done. Water alone will not be able to remove it. You can also use an eye makeup remover.
Tips
- Rub the "bruise" with your finger slightly to blend it.
- To keep more pencil flakes from sticking to your skin, run the pencil against the sandpaper every few times you use it, so you don't use up too much of the pencil.
- Create a kiss mark with pink eyeshadow or blush.
- Use purple, red, green, or yellow colored pencils to create real-looking bruises.
- You can use the color of the buni fruit and blend it.
Warning
- Avoid lead pencils, use graphite pencils instead. Tin can cause allergic skin reactions.
- The bruises from colored pencils won't last long, but it should be enough to show them briefly.
- Don't let anyone worry about your "bruising," or falsely accuse someone of "beating" you.
