What this video covers
Madeyewlook's Alexys Fleming walks through a concise bruise effect tutorial using alcohol-activated makeup from the Skin Illustrator PPI FX Palette. The technique focuses on layering realistic bruise tones onto skin using cosmetic sponges and brushes. At under 10 minutes, it's a quick but practical guide to achieving convincing injury effects for Halloween costumes or SFX work.
