Tips on disguising a black eye?

For starters I am female. I got hit in the face 2days ago and now have an unbelievably obvious black eye. Its still REALLY dark and I have to see my grandma tomorrow and go out with friends on the weekend.


Im trying my hardest to reduce the swelling, im just having an enormously hard time covering it up.Tips on disguising a black eye?
As far as the swelling, Soft gel ice packs, ice for 30 min straight. If it is still puffy when u go see nana, pat some preparation H on it. As far as the discoloring, you need to get some concealer. What kind you need depends on the actual color of the eye.





Is it actually black? Or is it black and blue? If it is, skip the concealer and go for a full coverage foundation like dermablend. You can get it at high end department stores like Nordstroms or Macy's.





If it is yellowish, try using a lilac or light purple concealer stick.





If it is like ruddy and red, use a green concealer stick.





Make sure to apply the make up OR concealer with a small, soft brush using a patting motion as the skin is tender because it is stretched out.





Also, try getting one of those gel eye mask that you can put in the freezer to sleep in.





I am a little worried if it has been two days and its still really black. If it is black closest to your nose, rather than the outside of your eye near your cheekbones, it may actually be your nose that is broken. You may want to see a DR hun.Tips on disguising a black eye?
Anything you try will make it look worse! Plus, it will just make it hurt more - I think you should tell your grandma a big sob story and get lots of sympathy!
clinique has a fabulous line of products. if u get their foundation that blends with ur skin tone it will work well but it will completely cover it if u also buy the concealer 2 go with it. (trust me i know first hand.) it'll be about $32 for everything 2gether
As for the swelling, have you tried cold tea-bags? It works miracles.





As for the colour, (I take it sunglasses are out of the question). Best is to disguise it with as many make-up as you have.
Your only option is to black the other one and make like a Panda. Just kidding, look for cosmetic camouflage products, you might be able to get something to cover it for now. Medical cosmetics. OK?
you won't be able to cover it up, you have to wait until the blood is reabsorbed into your system for it to go away and since you said it's black, you still have a way to go until it fades, then turns green/yellow and then disappears. just turn it into a funny story, it will be quite the conversation starter. if you're worried about grandma, tell her you're a total klutzy idiot and you fell or something. but i'm sorry, there's no way to adequately cover it.
a restrianing order and luggage for him
the green and yellow concealer works great. my 4yr started t-ball this summer and i caught one in the eye.I got mine from wal-mart i think it was physicians formula.
use makeup to cover it
i would imagine that foundation would cover it.
as far as I know, nothing fully covers it!
what are you crazy?! my sis got a black eye and she loved it!! so please, enjoy your black eye while you can. you don't get them so often (unless you actually provoke to get them, which is definantly, uh, wrong). but whatever you do, DON'T cover it up!!!

you lie. i got a black eye not to long ago. i had my dog on a retractable dog leash and he ran up to my friend and she unhooked him and it flew back and the metal hook hit me in the eye. use this story and your in the clear.
try foundation?? .... or something
use a concealer...preferably a cream concealer. its available at any beauty store.choose a shade that is exactly matching to your skin than a shade lighter to your skin as paler shades accentuate the blemish or mark.
wear make up or sunglasses!
