    Gave myself a beaut of a black eye last weekend, incl 9 stitches over my right eyebrow. I have a party on Sat and really need you help in recommending products, particularly concealers, and any make up tips and remedies to make me look presentable if you have em...
    Fringe will cover stitch wound (getting them taken out Sat. the wound is too sore to put makeup on it) The one panda eye is my real issue..
    Thanks :)
    :eek:

    Ouch, I'm sorry to hear about your black eye!

    Black eyes can be tricky to cover up. Try to use a liquid concealer instead of a cream because a liquid will blend better and won't clump. Use a yellow-green concealer to cover the bruise - it will offset the blue/red tones. You want to choose a concealer that's the complimentary color of the bruise color you're covering up. So if your bruise is still purple, get a yellow concealer; if it's more red, go with a light green. Once you've covered the bruise and blended the concealer in, let it set for a few minutes. Then dab on a concealer that matches your skin tone and let that set. Then put on your normal make up.

    I hope this helps you for your party! :)

    You could try arnica cream. You can get it in any chemist.

    I had an accident before around my eyes that left wounds, black eye and swelling. I just put normal make up on, leaving a bit of room at the wounds and left it at that. I felt like there was no way I could hide what had happened, especially as the wounds couldn't be hidden. Everyone knew what had happened anyway. Ok, I don't look great in the photos but I suppose I didn't mind too much since it was out of my control.
