Our make up skills were tested today when vernie gave us the bad news, that she could not find her fake blood. So, I went straight to my makeup box and gathered all the makeup that I wouldn't miss. From there I tried to think what colors are in a bruise: black, purple, green, and blue… depending on the stage. When I looked at the pallets, I found blue and black eyeshadow. Since the bruises/ cuts were supposed to look fresh, we decided to throw some melted red lipstick.
We cut a piece of the lip stick and microwaved it for 3 min. The consistency wasn't where we wanted it, but we had to make due. We began by applying a streak of the red lipstick on the skin, and then we blended it in with the blue and the black eye shadow, with a blush brush.
We decided to scatter the “ bruises” all around vernie body, making sure that the one on her head would stand out because that is where she got hit with the stick.
To give the effect that Vernie’s character was dragged through the woods after being knocked out. We decided to use coffee grounds as our fake dirt. We rubbed it all over her face, knees, and fingernails.
Lastly, to finish off the dishevelled look we were looking for, we cut up the dress, and rubbed some coffee grounds on it. INstead of her hair being pinned back the pin is lost and her hair is messy and frizzy. Lastly, she is no longer wearing glasses when she is trapped, they were lost in the commotion.

This look made sofi and I think on our feet to execute what we were looking for. I am very happy on how this look came out. Stay tuned to see how the make up came together with our scene!
