4. Start by molding the outer edge of the wax using a spatula or your finger. Use petroleum jelly to easily smoothen the edges. Make sure there are no visible lines and bumps.
5. Take a black eyeshadow and pat the color along the inner hole.
6. To match the wax with your skin tone, use foundation or concealer to cover the wax.
7. For the outer part of the hole, using either Ben Nye's color wheel in bruise or just matte eyeshadow in colors, purple, green and red, pat around the hole mimicking the effect of bruised skin.
8. To finish the look, put fake blood on the hole and let it drip naturally.
