Wear Facial Paints or White Stage Makeup as a Base
Using light cosmetics or dotted sponges flatten the whites paint throughout your face and let it dry completely. Make a dappled effect by using the second color above the white color smoothly. You can use a gray color to decaying effect, red or purple color for bruising. Use the best quality face paints because the cheap face paint will not blend well and not good for skin.
Make Dark Circle around the Eyes
Dark and sunken eyes can help make you look dead, roughly injured, and lack of sleep. Line your eyelids with dark pencil eyeliner then pour out. Use eyeshadow or black face paint to fill dark circles under the eyes and around the eyelids. Mix around the edges with purple and red paint to create the illusion of freshly bruised skin.

Darken the Lips
