Make sure you test client with all products before using incase of an allergic reaction.

Brusie (black eye):
Make sure you think of factors such as how old is the bruise before creating.

• Start with the lightest colour first. (Best to have a photo of what you want to create to try and copy it. Also make sure the photo is of a real bruise or black eye.)
• Mix with moisturiser as its grease and grease products. 
• Make sure you get right up too the lash line and don't go below the bone. 
• Use fingers as well as brush to blend.

Cuts:

Make sure you think of aspects before creating. E.g. Did the accident happen around glass? Would there be mud in it. 

• Use pallet knife and work wax into had so it becomes more moveable. 
• Put small amount on where you want the cut to be. 
• Smooth over, keep cleaning knife off. Moisturiser helps it get smoother.
• Make a cut where you want the cut to be with the pallete knife. 
• Add the sealer and make sure there are no hard edges. 
• Apply foundation and powder so it looks the same colour as skin tone. 
• Apply wound filler where you want it and fake blood and coffee granules. Make sure you apply fake blood in the direction they would be in when the accident happens so the blood runs in the right direction.  
• You can apply fullers earth to make it look like there is mud in it.

I think the practical went well and was really happy with black eye. I think i could have gone a little bit heavier in the corners with it to make it look more affective on camera. The cuts i didn't have very long to create but i think if they were thinner they would have looked more realistic as they are quite thick. This is something i now know for the future when creating them again.
