I definitely want my final outcome to include eyes that could suggest the face has taken a bit of a battering, so I have looked at re-creating a bruise using grease based face paint. If you look at a bruise, it goes through various different stages and colours before disappearing completely. Below is a chart to show this process, and also the kind of colours I have used:
Below are my recreations:
Bruises are often referred to as "shiners" and having the surface of the bruised area appearing slightly light-reflective, does make the injury look more genuine. Even though the grease based paint does give this effect, I still added some Vaseline around the eye to really bring out the colour.
