Method:
Black eye:
To begin with, you need to think about which stage the black eye is in. For example when it is fresh it will be purple and red, and when it is healing there will be yellow and green colours. For this look, mix red and purple to create the colour here, and apply it to points where the eye would not have healed yet and is still raw and painful. Next, apply yellows and greens in places where damage would have been less to the eye. When this is done, do not powder over the top because black eyes are shiny and not matte. To add to the effect you can buy red eye drops and also a crimson eye pencil to make the eye look even more red and sore.

Cut:
To begin with, place the wax on the back of your hand so that it's warmed up and more flexible so that you can blend out the edges. Apply it to the area that you would like with a palette knife. Next, place latex over this with a baby bud and cool it with a cool hairdryer. You can use a small pin to pick up the wax to make it look more flesh like. After this, put wound filler in the middle of the wound with the pointy end of  spatula or a small pointy makeup brush. Stipple a bit of blood around it with a black sponge. Then you can apply liquid blood in the middle of the wound with a pointed spatula.

Scar:
Apply barrier cream to the area that you want to have the scar. Then paint the collodion onto the area and cool with a cool hairdryer. Apply another layer and do the same.
