The controversial defamation trial between former spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is a hot topic for netizens on the internet.
In the latest court testimony on Monday, Amber Heard took the stand again to explain how she covered the bruises left by Depp’s alleged assaults.
The actress testified that she used a makeup kit to hide the marks left on her body.
Here is everything you need to know.
Amber Heard’s makeup routine to hide the ‘marks of domestic abuse’.
Johnny Depp’s legal team challenged Amber Heard’s claims of being a victim of physical abuse at the hands of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
Depp’s attorney provided pictures of Heard attending several red carpeted events after the times she claimed Depp struck her.
The pictures shown to the jury revealed no severe injuries on the Aquaman star.
Heard however alleges that the bruises were not severe enough to be visible and hence were easily hidden behind the makeup.
She further discussed her makeup routine to cover the marks. She used a color correction wheel which she has named her ‘bruise kit’.
Heard continued that over the years she learned how to use different colors to conceal the bruises depending on their progress.
The 36-year-old star added that she first used a green-colored powder to hide the redness. Later she switched to orange shades when the bruises started turning blue and purple.
Interesting that AH is testifying about her "theatrical makeup" she used as a "bruise kit" to cover injuries but when you Google "theatrical makeup bruise kit" this is what comes up. It's used to CREATE bruises. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp #AmberHeardIsALiar #JohnnyDeppAmberHeardTrial pic.twitter.com/mOrZ25qThG

Amber Heard slammed online for her alleged makeup routine
Amber Heard’s claims of using a makeup kit to cover the marks left by Johnny Depp’s assault have become a subject of conspiracy theory among Depp’s defenders. They were further aided by the cosmetics brand Milani.
During the opening arguments for the highly publicized lawsuit, Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft held a Milani makeup kit saying how Heard used to mix up different tones to hide her marks.
Milani cosmetics posted a video to debunk Bredehoft’s accusations. As per the video, the kit she showed to the jurors was released in 2017 which was a year after the actress filed for divorce from Depp. The video promptly went viral on the platform and was reposted many times on other social media accounts.
Heard however addressed the speculations saying that it was not ‘the exact one’ she used during her relationship with the 58-year-old actor.
Depp filed for a $50 million lawsuit against Heard whereas she countersued him for $100 million.
One of the moments I waited for in Amber Heard's testimony was how she was using her makeup to cover bruises. She held the Milani pallet said it 'obviously wasn't this exact one', called it a 'bruise kit', and then said she used it after her foundation and concealer 👀 pic.twitter.com/JCqtfEpfv8

So Amber Heard just admitted on the stand to using a bruise kit. OOPS. Color correcting pallet and bruise kit are not the same. And you wouldn’t color correct AFTER putting on foundation and concealer #JusticeForJohhnyDepp #DeppVsHeard #AmberHeardIsAnAbuser #AmberHeardIsALiar
