For a carnival or for a play, you may need to make a fake black eye. Or maybe you want to report sick from work or school. Either way, with some makeup and creativity you can create a realistic black eye in about five minutes!

To step

1. Ready!

Tips

• Do not do this if you are hypersensitive to makeup.
• A black eye is caused by blood flowing under the skin to the lowest point (the area between the nose, eye and cheekbone), so be sure to emphasize those areas when applying the makeup.
• Use matte eyeshadow - glitters will ruin the effect!
• A black eye is often caused by a blow to the forehead or the eye socket. To make it even more real, you can also paint a small bruise in those places.

Warnings

• Don't put on shiny make-up. Then everyone immediately sees that it is not real.

Necessities

• Eye shadow
• Make-up brushes
• Make-up sponge (optional)
