Could I use household makeup to make a fake bruise?

I’m sure it could be done, but what could one use to give the appearance of a bruise, generally a yellow region with some purple in the middle. Isn’t there some common types of makeup that could be used?

Thanks.

A makeup bruise kit is pretty inexpensive and you get the greens and purples.
Ben Nye is good brand.

I used to do it all the time. Scared the shit out of my friend’s mother.

And all I used was a generic make up kit-some lipstick, blush, purple or greenish eye-shadow.
