MAKEUP SFX: Black Eye / Bruising

Welcome to Episode 1 of my Makeup SFX series.
Here I show you how to create a quick and easy black eye / bruising effect.
What you will need:
Ben Nye Master Bruise FX wheel
Variety of Makeup Brushes
Stippling Sponge
Makeup Sponge
Clear Lip Balm
Note: You'll never get it exactly the same as mine, it'll look different every single time you do it, it's all about trial and error.
Disclaimer: I'm not a makeup artist, I've just been playing with makeup since I was young - and love playing with thing sort of stuff.

Episode 1: MAKEUP SFX: Black Eye / Bruising - ENJOY!

[@cherrywallis]

I'm loving all of the suggestions so far, keep them coming! And thank you for all the kind words!

[@benbayliss2059]

Maybe animal cuts/wounds? Like, some angry huge hamster decided to scratch an itch you didn't have?

[@e.duncan3581]

I think you should do a Halloween doll/ ghost one . I know it's not the season, but maybe in the future :)

[@vasiliadavlanti6774]

What about a Jocker one ????

[@alainasleapify]

Zombie make up

[@alainasleapify]

Hello Kitty!!

[@ToriaBradley]

This was brilliantly done! I love this series idea, and looking forward to the rest :) I had to do bruising SFX make-up on a film shoot last year, but yours is much better. I did the best I could with what I had though, haha!

[@cherrywallis]

Aw thank you! It just takes practice, I remember trying to do bruises with poundland eyeshadow when I was a kid, haha!

[@zaavan.rivera]

The colors and products used were used well and efficiently. I really like when you used the darker blue color because in stead of putting in in all the areas where you put the last color you only put in the most important spots and that made the eye have more of a swollen look witch gave it a more black eye look.

[@JoeCoePhotography]

Get the London look.

[@bubblypisces5807]

Joe Coe lol

[@freedomtosing2212]

😂😂

[@TheEndi8]

You would be great to do make up in movies! Like wow, this looks so good, at first when i saw the thumbnail i thought you actually got hit

[@blairecarson2109]

I thought you were a makeup artist you are great at everyday makeup and the sfx is really realistic and professional, but then I read the description haha! I really like this series you are very talented and you have very clear instructions

[@WarpedLab]

THANKS FOR THIS CHANNEL !!. I used to be a great make-up artist but I've been out of the game for more than 10 years, now I need a refresh on my skills , your a godsend !!.

[@xItsJuliax]

About 2 years ago i tripped on a doorway and hit my temple. And within a day my entire eyelid was purple and swollen. And I'm telling you. It looked near *exactly* like that. That is amazing. And id like to learn cuts and scraps next. That would be so rad! c:

[@ChlosterSays]

I'm in literal awe of how real that looks. Awesome job, Cherry :)

[@rocksgio]

Holy crap, I saw the photo and thought you had been beat up. The makeup looks awesome, 100% convincing :)

[@dahlia9423]

Tysmfor this tutorial!! And I love how u also explain the scientific side aswell loll and how you explain how the makeup makes that sort of effect.

[@emilytindle5041]

I thought you were a painter and a singer through your artistic ways I never knew you could do such amazing special effect makeup. Where did you learn to do this?

[@cherrywallis]

Practice :)

[@emilytindle5041]

that's so good that you have self taught you shame I don't have the persistence xx

[@ThomasB65435]

That looks so freaking cool! love it cherry:D

[@TaylaCRY]

so happy you're doing this series!

[@arcticmorgs]

Makeup special effects is totally one of my favorite things! I'm really excited about watching the rest of this series! I would say, even though its not close to Halloween, do some paranormal makeup stuff. I always love watching those kinds of things.

[@WhyVonne]

I don't know what kind of special effects you have on your hand, but it would be awesome to see you do a chelsea smile!!

[@wefounddove]

Your eyebrow game is strong!

[@rojosimpson]

This is actually quite helpful! I'm cosplaying as Frank West from Dead Rising for Comic con next weekend! so this'll come in handy!

[@rocksandbooks]

cuts & bulletholes! definitely the best thing to do with stage makeup.

[@cherrywallis]

I thought that said cuts and buttholes LOL.

[@kyranorman4230]

Wow cherry, honestly saw the thumb nail and started freaking out because it's that believable! Woah

[@laurenphilp9877]

Most beautifulest bruise I've seen

[@valkyriecain858]

Great tutorial! I would love to see a more fantasy side of makeup, but only when and if you want to and are happy with it!

[@jessjenner]

At the end of it, I thought it was gonna be an advert type thing where it says "Abuse is a choice" or "92 cents a day can help."

[@elimoreno7189]

Me too! hahahaha

[@urion37]

That was so good. I love how you say capillaries as well.

[@kaspermord1519]

Great tutorial, especially with the visualization of which colors were used! I wish the makeup wheel wouldn't cost almost 30 bucks now.

[@fraserandrews2151]

I can't emphasise enough how much Cherry Wallis is an inspiration. She's the most amazing, inspirational person I've ever had the honour to watch. I love her so much and I hope she remains that way

[@lauragollogly2036]

Omg you are so talented! Art, singing, and makeup! And your so pretty!

[@marketah.5950]

Lol,forgot to read the name of the vid ... shocked at the start.GREAT WORK!

[@monicacx2081]

you don't have to say that you're not a makeup professional and that you've just been playing with it since you were young. makeup is a form if art, you don't see people uploading speed paints say "I'm not an artist I just draw". don't lower yourself, you have talent.

[@melissamarks6295]

I like how the makeup artist described what happens to your face when you get a black eye, like how the eye area bruises more because the skin is thin and how the bruise is pooled blood from broken capillaries. I think adding the black in the corner of the eye makes it more realistic. The clear lip gloss was a nice way to add dimension and something I would not have thought of. This seems like it would be safe and hygienic and I could easily replicate it with makeup that I have. The yellow is another thing that I wouldn't have thought of. Some makeup videos have a voiceover giving instructions and some don't; I like how this one did. She was right in saying that if you get beat up and get a black eye, you will probably also have bruises on other parts of your face. Speeding up the video during parts was a good way to manage the length of the video. I would like to know how this woman does her eyebrows.

[@cherrywallis]

I'm lucky that I have naturally shaped eyebrows... I currently only use a tiny bit of brow whiz pencil, but for my eyebrows here when I used to do them darker - there is a tutorial on my channel for it! :)

[@walkerandchambo]

Holy... OW! It looks so real! Might have to try this ;) Well done, Cherry. Me and my best friend were watching and listening to your song in music :p

[@sfxbyelliebirchall6245]

I love this ! The first vid that makes a black eye look simple an easy to do thank u

[@gracebeaumont674]

Woah I really enjoyed that video! It was genuinely interesting to see how a bruised effect is created and not something I've seen anyone do before well done x

[@caitlinwilliams5692]

Yes yes yes please please do more it was amazing and I'm running out of ideas for what media makeup I can do xxx

[@Euhofer]

Loved this Cherry! I'd love to see more Make up SFX, zombies been mentioned a few times which would be awesome of anything else you think of!

[@zahrastarlight]

For you're makeup SFX series could u do a scar some where along the face it would be really good practice and something new for me to try too

[@MarkiyC]

I'm really looking forward to this series!

[@dawngalaida3293]

OMG Cherry this is freaking amazing, you're so talented!!!

[@JasmineHutchings]

I'm currently making a short film and make up like this is sooooo helpful so maybe you could do a make up lip cut or something that would be cool x

[@LifeIsYourInstrument]

I can't wait to see it!

[@JasmineHutchings]

wont be out till winter or after summer

[@xxbloodtears24xx]

I like the sound of this series it's great for Halloween aswell :) x

[@urfavouritepiglet9859]

Wow it looks so real wow well done Cherry. Have a gold star.

[@mariamwehbe6208]

Off topic, your eyebrows look amazing!

[@jadechapman3324]

I took a teenage course thing a few months ago as I was really interested in it and the teacher that demonstrated the looks didn't look as good as yours, your so talented😊

[@mistyaugustine1065]

Your eyebrows look really good!! And you have a real talent for makeup Sfx it was really impressive

[@Mmaz13]

This is a good series idea! Original :) I don't "like" many videos that isn't music, but this deserves a like! Looking forward to more! Love your eyebrows too

[@miafeys]

Wait this is an ongoing series right? Ahh! I'm super excited for more

[@chaztheunicornn8563]

This is going to be a great series! So exited to try this out!

[@TheNerdygiraffe]

Please keep making these! They're really helpful!

[@oliviastephenson4297]

This is amazing! I'm going to love the rest of the series xx

[@cassyjean5683]

wow you're so good, this looks so realistic!

[@jodeem9449]

OMG this is sooo cool. I really want to do this when I leave school this has really inspired me!

[@aaaaricia]

can't wait for the next one! you are seriously so good, how long have you been experimenting and practising with make up?

[@constanttwilight7053]

That looks awesome Cherry, I'm hooping to do special effects makeup when I'm older so this series is really going to help :)

[@anniemccracken2038]

Wow. This is awesome, you are so talented Cherry. Love this video. xx

[@BrickishRail]

Cuts, scars and rashing would be good! Great video btw, at the end I couldn't help myself but think of an advert against "Cherry Abuse"...I have a weird mind, please don't judge...

[@kds4755]

Your so talented! So there anything you can't do? I'm so proud of your channel , subscriber since the beginning here :) go you!

[@romo4161]

A good place to do a bruise is on your wrist bone. A small bruise there looks like a broken wrist! (Use a more brown/green shade to make it look older)

[@lillystamp2840]

I've just started teaching myself how to do special FX makeup, thank you so much for this!

[@jess_6341]

Get so excited when I get the notification "cherry wallis uploaded a new video" loved every minute of this,are you going to do more in the future?x

[@cherrywallis]

Yes it's an ongoing series! :)

[@abbycarter9713]

Me too!! Was really excited! xx

[@jesshogan266]

Great techniques. I do love my bruise wheel :)

[@laylasarrinchar8990]

This looks so cool. I'm so excited for Halloween now. :)

[@avamay-lou8664]

This looks so good cherry! awesome, I may have to try this 💕

[@danbruening4371]

You did an amazing job! Any point of the video you could stop it and it'd look like a stage of the healing process (if that makes sense lol). I also loved how you actually explained why you did each step by describing what happens when you get a black eye. 2 thumbs up!!!

[@naomiwright4819]

This video is amazing I can't wait to see more!xx

[@alizcastelli]

thats an amazing idea for a video series!!

[@cherrywallis]

Thank you

[@JaydeTaulien]

This was brilliant, thank you so much! I was learning about bruising make up yesterday, but I'm wondering what kind of brush you used? Synthetic or Natural brushes.

[@katieallen71]

This will come in handy for a drama performance, cheers cherry!

[@KieranNoble]

Great Video as always Cherry! Just want to know what the dark music is

[@ThatMajesticMonkey]

loved this so much cherry great idea for and ongoing series xx

[@cloewalsh3085]

How to look pretty because you always seems to do that!

[@YouFoundBen]

I saw the thumbnail and got freaked out. :-P Then I realized it was makeup.

[@laurelmonterosa7586]

same!!

[@laurabottner8712]

Amazing Make Up Tutorial! I love it ❤️

[@Handleshmandle1]

Oh damn that bruise wheel is expensive but effective! Hopefully I can recreate something similar with another bruise wheel!

[@vkkidz4life]

Holly Brown for the reds and purples you can use lipsticks, and the other colors you could try using eyeshadows.

[@nuuu1924]

I only have the makeup brushes and nothing else but I still think they are fun to watch.

[@liltrix3006]

The preview picture totally had me fooled too, I was like omg what happened to Cherry!!

[@chaztheunicornn8563]

It looks great! I'm deffinately going to try it!

[@CharlesStacyII]

Great tutorial Cherry. You are so talented.

[@imjustacookiemonster]

Thanks cherry! I'm 14 and I want to be a special FX makeup artist this really helped!

[@dairy1393]

Thank you so much. I have a makeup project for school so I'll totes be using this!

[@EricalovesNiallHoran]

This is incredible! It looks really real, well done!♥

[@alicew7399]

This is a great idea for a series! I have always wanted to do something to do with sfx makeup so this was a great help! Thank you Cherry;)xxxxx

[@robyn5646]

This is excellent! Could you do like small surface scratches? Like lip splits?

[@srbeech]

Woah! Cherry you are so talented, I can't believe you taught yourself 😊 I think an open wound would be a great idea for the next tutorial! Great idea for a series 💙💕

[@katieleighchase3539]

Cherry this is amazing!!! 💚💋

[@singndance]

The lip gloss for shine is the touch that puts this over the top in terms of realism. I have to "bruise" 3 actors for a show; this will help me make the audience cringe when they walk out. Thanks!

[@ashleybishop6652]

Could you possibly do like a burn or something similar?? Love the video by the way!! I wanna go into SFX make up so this is really useful! Love youu Cherry!! ♥♥

[@The.Rainbow.Bridge]

This is amazing Cherry!!

[@ameliaheydon]

When I saw the thumbnail I was like OMFG CHERRY IS BRUISED then I watched the video and I was like oh.. AWESOME WORK!!!

[@peekabooka]

Wow that was really good, you should do a cut lip affect x

[@toxxicanarchy3110]

Wow! This looks scarily realistic, you are so talented! I honestly can't wait to see what you come up with next for this series. Do you know how to do stitches or open cuts? x

[@randomlynatalie]

DO MORE. i like it a lot c: very helpful thank youuu

[@AliceEinDreamland]

Can't wait for the next one

[@shaunalinay2877]

This is fantastic cherry !

[@marthaking6580]

Your eyebrows look amazing here! How do you do them??

[@CathyAndrew]

wow i loved this video cherry! its such a great idea! will it be a series? if it is you could maybe do bloody nose? xx

[@mary-ellenhartnup8903]

I really enjoyed this video! You Always know what to do in these situations! Haha! Well thankyou for the tutorial 😄

[@abbiluvxx7474]

Your eye brows look soo nice xoxo
