Makeup practices

These are our makeup ideas for the actual attack scene. For this we used dark coloured eye shadows to create a deep bruising effect, but not too much to give the effect that the injuries were recent. We also used fake blood to drop from like the eyes nose and mouth to indicate a severe and brutal beating. For our first attempt, we think this looked quite realistic, but to improve we are going to order a face paint called 'the bruise wheel', which we feel will give a  more realistic bruising effect to the makeup.

For the counselling scene, we had to create deeper, healing bruises, to give the effect that the attack was fairly recent but was quite a while ago. To do this we experimented with darker eyeshadows, and spread the extent of the bruises further. We also got rid of the fake blood to emphasis the bruises on the face. We also tried to make the bruises quite subtle to indicate the characters willing to try and cover up the injuries.
