I'd definitely add some burnt yellow to it and tone the purple down just a little but and it'll look great! Good job though!

I agree some yellow and a touch of green could really make a difference it's really good though nice job!

I honestly thought you wanted criticism on an actual bruise that you were trying to cover up lol
I was like, wellll ummm...it needs way more coverage until I read the thread and noticed it was fake x:
You fooled me, so it's great (:. It looks real! This is realistic bc not many ppl bruise with a touch of yellow lol

I've never seen a real bruise with no yellow.

Yaira, I'm with you..lol I thought, "Why on Earth would someone want our opinion on a bruise?"
Leila, great job! I only get yellow and green a day after the bruise initially surfaces, but it certainly would enhance the realism. Very cool.

My bruises turn yellow after like a day of having them so I'd definitely add it.

I must be the oddball, because I think there's a bit too much pink. Good job, though :)

Yeah I don't know why ppl are saying add yellow.. I would turn down the purple and add a bit more light blue really blend :) and trust me I'm an expert at bruises

Shanae, your bruise looks lovely! Haha, I sound weird saying this but I love the blending. And thank you for all the tips, I will defintely add some yellow next time.

Thank you! That's about the only thing I'm good at is sfx bruises haha, sad but true. Yours looks great as is, for sure, just do a tad bit more blending and add some light orange or yellow into, don't worry about overlaying the colors, that makes it look even better, just go crazy and don't try to simplify it. It'll look great.
