Amber Heard explains covering bruises with Milani color corrector makeup and arnica cream

Amber Heard walked the jury through how she covered up bruises with arnica cream and makeup after Johnny Depp allegedly hit her.

She held up a Milani Color Corrector palette that she said was one of her go-to products.

She told the jury that injuries to the lips were the hardest to hide because lips ‘crack and bleed’ but that bruising on the nose heals faster.

‘Bruising on your face tends to heal faster than bruises on my body.

‘A nose is pretty much unrecognizable after a day or two. Lips are the hardest because they crack and bleed but it’s easy to hide with lipstick if you’re a woman or if you wear lipstick, I suppose.’

Amber Heard also argued against photos that Johnny Depp’s team said showed her without injuries, wearing no makeup.

‘They don’t know what they’re talking about. I always wear makeup.

‘I put on moisturizer, I’m certainly not going to walk around L.A. with bruises on my face.’

Amber Heard says she filed for divorce from Johnny Depp because she thought he would eventually kill her if she didn’t.

Amber Heard told the couple’s defamation trial that Johnny Depp ‘would have taken it too far’ if she stayed in the marriage.

Here is her explosive testimony:

‘I knew if I didn’t I likely wouldn’t survive. I was so scared it was going to end badly for me.

‘I loved him so much. I would have done anything but I couldn’t do that one thing, I couldn’t stay. The hope that I had had become less and less.

‘The monster had been this thing that was now the normal. The violence was now normal and not the exception.

‘It was so hard but I knew I had to do it. I believe he would have taken it too far and I wouldn’t be here.’

Amber Heard filed for divorce in May 2016. She said she was so sick during their marriage that she suffered shingles.

‘I was losing hair, I was losing weight. I got really sick I got shingles.

‘I had panic attacks all the time I was falling apart.

‘I was scared and very conflicted because the person I was scared of was also the person I was in love with.’

US actress Amber Heard testifies in the courtroom on May 16

Johnny Depp texted Amber Heard in May 2016 saying he could not understand how he ever fell in love with her.

The couple had been married for one year when Amber Heard filed for divorce.

On May 21, 2016, Johnny Depp ‘lashed out’ after returning home to their home to find Amber Heard’s friends there.

In one text message afterwards, Depp said he didn’t understand how he could have ever fallen in love with Amber Heard.

Johnny Depp said he hoped their divorce would be quick, and asked himself: ‘What the f*** was I thinking?’

The texts were shown in court on Monday as the defamation trial between the couple continued.

I’ll never be able to understand how I fell in love with you… you’re not her. I was convenient for you. What the f**k was I thinking?’ he said.

He also called Amber Heard a ‘spoiled brat’.

In another text, he told Amber: ‘I’m sad, I’m scared and I am broken. I want you happy I have zero harsh feelings. I am clear and I am me.’

Amber Heard met ‘true gentleman’ Elon Musk at 2016 Met Gala after Johnny Depp stood her up

Amber Heard told her trial that Johnny Depp stood her up at the 2016 Met Gala – and that’s when she ran into ‘true gentleman’ Elon Musk who was with his mother.

‘[Musk] was there with his mother. He reminded me we had met before… He seemed like a real gentlemen. He was really nice.’

Amber Heard and Elon Musk dated during Amber’s divorce battle with Johnny Depp. They called time on their romance in 2017.

The court has heard audio of Johnny Depp screaming at Amber Heard that she doesn’t ‘exist’ when Heard was on the stand.

“You’re ain’t nobody’s mom! You don’t exist!” he yelled in the clip.

Heard was testifying about why the couple started recording each other.

As the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial continues, fans are divided over which star to believe.

Johnny Depp’s die hard followers insist Amber abused him and is lying about much of what she claims she suffered during their relationship.

But Amber Heard also has legions of fans. They say it is sick the actress has been forced to relive her apparent trauma in front of the world.

Which side will prevail?

Amber Heard has told her defamation trial against Johnny Depp that their dog defecated in their marital bed.

Here’s a recap of the bizarre feces issue that has become known as ‘poopgate’ in the couple’s Virginia trial.

Amber Heard told the court she was never alone with Johnny Depp’s driver Starling Jenkins at 2016 Coachella but that he picked her up from the festival.

Starling Jenkins previously testified that Amber Heard placed feces in Johnny Depp’s bed as a practical joke.

Amber Heard denied that on Monday and said it was one of the couple’s dogs.

Amber Heard’s new spin doctor has two DUI arrests, left two jobs after sexual harassment claims against him and allegedly paid ‘provocatively’ dressed women to attend a tech company event, DailyMail.com can reveal.

One woman even claimed he tried to pressure her into sex after she met him on exclusive dating app Raya.

The Aquaman actress hired David Shane, 49, last month to help push a picture of Johnny Depp as an alcohol-bingeing abuser who victimized Heard – but the PR guru himself has a checkered past of HR investigations, alcohol-related crimes and sexual impropriety allegations.

Amber Heard told the Johnny Depp trial that she took MDMA and mushrooms at Coachella.

‘I soon realized what a horrible idea it was,’ the Aquaman actress told the Virginia courtroom.

Court is now on a mid-morning break for 15 minutes.

Amber Heard testified on Monday that Johnny Depp punched her and put cigarettes out on her skin during their marriage.

Johnny Depp conferred with his lawyers while Amber Heard told the courtroom how he also ‘grabbed her by the pubic bone’ during their one-year marriage.

The actress told how she sometimes had to actively punch Depp to fight him off.

One alleged incident involved Depp grabbing her by the pubic bone and asking her ‘do you want to be tough like a man?’

‘He kind of pushed me down and was asking me, “You’re so tough? You wanna be tough like a man now?”‘

Amber Heard also testified that Johnny Depp used a wine bottle as a ‘bat’
