Step 1: The Big Swollen Eye

I think I went too far with my fake swollen eye, but it gives you a clear idea of what your going for. Take a wad of your soft nose putty and form the basic shape an eye swollen shut. Now carefully spread out the edges, and with some help of spirit gum, stick it to your subjects face. The thinner you can get the edges the better it will blend with your subjects real skin.
