Practical source of inspiration Special effects make up

Special fx make up is commonly used in horror and science fiction films. I wanted to focus on bruising as good special fx make up can add to the quality of the sequence. I took inspiration from a number different pictures. 

I started with a yellow base which i placed around the outside portion of the eye. This would make it more realistic.

I then put some pink/ purple and blended it into the existing yellow.

After this i added more purple into the inner corner of the eye and darkened where i wanted the impact to be.

To make this better I could have used stencils which would have given the bruise more depth and character. I was limited with what I could achieve because of the materials that I had on had to use.
