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.
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.
