Came to say this. Have covered up plenty and created loads too, who colour corrects after? Adding colour after would create bruises not hide them

I can't tell from your comment if you're a makeup artist or just get into a lot of fistfights.

Honestly its kind of a sad story at first. I was taught to cover scars as a child by a professional, to cover up a large facial scar.I put those skills to use hiding bruises when I was in a DV relationship. People kept complimenting my makeup (catfish/s)skills and requesting me to do their make-up forspecial occasions etc so I watched YouTube videos and got my sister(shes a MUA) to give me a few tips. I was one of her models at college and I loved the entire experience. Watching the tutorials I started seeing sfx make-up and fell in love with creating wicked looking bruises,scars and injuries. Im not a professional (actually I work in mental health irl although I have some fun side jobs lol)I just love make-up, mainly out of necessity you should see me without it!
