During an autopsy, bruises accompanying abrasions indicate the abrasions occurred while the individual was alive, as opposed to damage incurred post mortem. Explaining why she always had the kit with her, she went on: "I am typically photographed in L.A. when I leave the house. Paparazzi take my photograph, so I'm somewhat aware of that anyway. If an injury is obviously a bruise and the doctor does not suspect any broken bones, the doctor will probably not perform any tests.

A bruise, also known as a contusion, is a type of hematoma of tissue, [3] the most common cause being capillaries damaged by trauma, causing localized bleeding that extravasates into the surrounding interstitial tissues. Most bruises occur close enough to the epidermis such that the bleeding causes a visible discoloration. The bruise then remains visible until the blood is either absorbed by tissues or cleared by immune system action. Bruises which do not blanch under pressure can involve capillaries at the level of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone. [4] [5]Treatment for light bruises is minimal and may include RICE ( rest, ice, compression, and elevation), painkillers (particularly NSAIDs) and, later in recovery, light stretching exercises. Particularly, immediate application of ice while elevating the area may reduce or completely prevent swelling by restricting blood flow to the area and preventing internal bleeding. Rest and preventing re-injury is essential for rapid recovery. Healing bruises contain much softer colours. A bruise that’s nearly healed will contain only fading browns and yellows. It is important though, to ensure that bruises in this state can still be seen on stage. Start by applying a heavy layer of yellow cream makeup, then contour the colour to add depth to the fading wound. Apply brown spots throughout but remember to blend these well to end up with a realistic fading bruise.

But I used to carry it with me all the time." Severe bruising (harm score 2–3) may be dangerous or cause serious complications. Further bleeding and excess fluid may accumulate causing a hard, fluctuating lump or swelling hematoma. This has the potential to cause compartment syndrome in which the swelling cuts off blood flow to the tissues. The trauma that induced the bruise may also have caused other severe and potentially fatal harm to internal organs. For example, impacts to the head can cause traumatic brain injury: bleeding, bruising and massive swelling of the brain with the potential to cause concussion, coma and death. Treatment for brain bruising may involve emergency surgery to relieve the pressure on the brain.

Melanie Inglessis, Heard's former makeup artist, also testified Wednesday that she found the actress with several light bruises under her eyes and on her nose while helping her get ready for an appearance on "The Late Late Show With James Corden" on Dec. 16, 2015, New York Post reported. For bruises further in the healing phase, blend together softer tones such as green and yellow. Add lighter tones of brown, purple, blue, and red. As healing progresses, red, purple, and blue shades fade, leaving more yellow and green until the bruise vanishes. The guidelines provided are suitable for all skin types. For darker skin tones, replace the mentioned yellow with a rich golden hue. Fresh bruises: distinctive featuresIf there is swelling or severe pain, the doctor may want to get an X-ray of the area to make sure there are no broken bones. The space between the dark lines represents the open wound. Fill this with a blood-red shade, keeping within the defined area.
