Movie Make-up & effect tricks

1. Vomit

Mushroom soup is best for this. Sip it to your mouth cold (to up the disgusting factor), then with the cameras rolling on, let spew!

2. Fake Bruises

Grab a make-up sponge and dab into some red make-up. Pat it gently over the area – You don’t want a solid color, so don’t paint on it. (A real bruise is rarely solid in colour. ) Now repeat, this time using maroon and purple make-up. (Whenever applying make-up, it’s best to start with the lighter colours and move on to the darker ones.) Every new layer should be less thick. Adding some powder should help dry it out.

3. Fake Buckets of Blood

Add a few drops of red food colouring, and one drop of blue colouring, to cheap washing-up liquid. The result is runny, foamy ‘blood’.

4. Fake Black Eye

Use red and blue eye shadow on the shallow parts around the eye.

 5.Fake old age

Douse your face with baby powder. To make wrinkles, draw thin, dark lines with an eye pencil and smooth the edges to blend in the lines. Cover your face once again in baby powder, and splash some on your hair to make it grey.
