SFX Makeup: Fake Bruises and Scratches with Everyday Makeup (One Class)
A single class for ages 11 to 16 curious about movie makeup. Children create a convincing fake bruise and scratch on their arm using ordinary eyeshadow and a sponge.
Class Experience
The teacher shows real film examples, then demonstrates on their own arm in close-up. Children follow step by step on their forearm, learning how color changes as a bruise ages and how to stipple for texture. Everything washes off with makeup remover.
How classes work
This is a single 55-minute live class with up to 5 learners. The teacher demonstrates, learners take part, and everyone shares at the end.
