Hi! I'm Erin and you're watching Expert Village. Today, we're going to be working on how to do a bruise. First, we're going to start off with stippling our base color. We here have our burgundy. What we're going to do like I said, we don't have our cream based makeup today, so I'm showing you what you can do with your homemade stuff. Just take a little bit of moisturizer, dabble your sponge into it. Don't get too much on there. Make sure it's just a little bit. Then dabble it into your maroon powder here. That should make a nice little stipple. Once again, if you want to dab it back into the moisturizer, just to make sure it's sticking to your stipple sponge. Now, here's the area. We're going to start stippling. When bruises first form the capillaries are busted. That's what happen. You're building the capillaries that have busted. You can kind of trail them off. Start heavy in the middle and just maybe trail them off in certain directions. Bruises are not symmetrical. You can just have them going in all different directions. They may scatter one way or they scatter the other, but they're never a complete circle. There we go. We have the base color right here.
