"Hi! I'm Erin and you're watching Expert Village. Today, we're going to be working on how to do a bruise. Now we're going to take note of the skin type that we're going to be working on today.

Here we're going to be working in this area right here, so we just want to kind of observe that. We're going to make it look like she got punched in the face. Basically, it's going to be right here on the jawbone. For lighter skin colors like her, we're going to have to use, like I pointed out earlier, the darker maybe like a midnight blue color and more of a burgundy maroonish color in there too. That's basically what we're going to start out doing with her."
