Common questions

How do you do bruise makeup that looks real?

Layer purple first, then dab yellow at the edges. Real bruises are darkest in the center and yellow at the healing edge. Blend with a fingertip, not a brush.

Toy gloves or real gloves?

Toy gloves only. Real boxing gloves are heavy, sweaty, and you cannot hold a drink. Toy gloves photograph identically.
