So I'm supposed to fake a black eye tomorrow (I'm doing a play and I'm being bullied for having a black eye). I wanted to know how to make it look like a black eye. I only have browns, greens, and one purplish brown. So any makeup artists know how make a bruise? This pic is what it is supposed to look like.

Looks okay, maybe blend the eye so it's not so eyeliner like, but the top is good.

When I do fake black eyes I actually used markers with eyeshadow and it looked way more realistic. Make sure the eyeshadow aren't glittery

Try to make it look like it is puffy and big.

Do some on the brow bone and under the inner eye... Make it look reddish purple underneath and a greenish tinge around the brow a non-shimmery blush or lipstick might work too.

Yellows purples and pinks are pretty crucial, try borrowing colours from a friend or stopping by the drug store tomorrow.

The best technique is layering. Starting with yellow, and then green leaving the edges yellow and then blue and purple for the more intense areas. A hint of black if you aren't too scared is always great to add depth as well

It looks good but I agree with Faith you should blend a little more and maybe add some color under your eye too.

I would make it a little darker and maybe try to blend it a little more

You should add shadow under the eye not just on top like on Brittany F's photo :) and make the colours more darker or pigmented I guess since you are doing a play your eyeshadow should be darker so the audience can see

Blend it out more. If you got punched in the eye it won't be just on the eyelid.

Also since it's a play you want it dramatic to the audience can see it
