whats the easiest way to make a person seem to have a fresh black eye?

not concerned about making the skin raised or any puffiness.

anybody done this before and have any pics by any chance?
 
Easy, dark blue eyeshadow, Red eyeshadow, and if you want an aged look some yellow green eyeshadow and brown,

I love playing with make-up..........wait, that didn't come out right....... :huh:

But, any way, start with a bit of red around the periphery of where you want the bruising. Then fill the rest in with blue. Not totally solid though. Add some light red streaks for variation. For the aged look, start with the yellow, move to red (very little red) and then brown.

You can get these colors at any Longs/Thrifty's/CVS. Cheap and very realistic. This works for any "bruising" on the body. Just remember to vary the amount of color you use.

I might just have to run to CVS and reload my supply........wait! I'm not that kind of guy!

I will post a pic, maybe tomorrow, if I get a chance. Believe me, this technique works!

I played a prank on my roommate one year for Halloween. A latex bullet hole in the head w/accompanying exit wound (with appropriate spattering and flecks to hide edges), both eyes blackened, a pint of Faux Blood on the floor and me in the sprawled position on the kitchen floor. I heard "Oh my God!" and the tones for 9 and 1 on the phone before I got up said I was "ok but I had a headache" and scared the living, well, fecal matter out of him.

This might be fun, as I haven't done this in a while.

Oh great! Now how am I supposed to get THAT image out of my brain???

The technique of simulating wounds/injuries was known as "moulage" (sp?)

It'll be good practice. And, I do have a different roommate now that needs initiation to the twisted world I live in. Being an EMT had it's advantages. I have seen every injury known to man (broken bones to gunshot wounds to decapitations), and unfortunately, I have a good memory. At least now, I can use those images for something.

Such as scaring the be-jesus out of my roommate and his wife.:evil:

Halloween is gonna be fun this year, I tell you what!

That's just plain wrong...........funny, yet wrong. LOL! Whatever happened to FilmBoy77, I hope we haven't scared him away!

Alas, we with twisted minds must learn to anticipate the sane avoiding us at all costs. Hmm. I like that. Must add it as a sig.
