Bruised shin - have to wear a dress next friday, how do I conceal it?

[rosebyanothername]

I've got a 50p sized bruise on my shin after knocking it while unfolding the buggy a couple of days ago. I can't really get out of wearing the dress (just above the knee).

What can I do?

Arnica cream from Boots is good to speed up the healing process for bruises and then IIWY I'd slap on some fake tan

Ah brilliant, I thought it was too late for arnica since the bruise had already appeared, didn't know it would speed up healing. Will head off to boots now.

I did think about fake tan too but wasn't sure if by making my whole leg look darker it'd make the bruise look darker too?

I also have a bruise on my shin (no idea where from though!) and I did the st tropez gradual tan for 2 days ina row and its definitely masked it.

MAC do a body foundation which is really good.

I'm always getting bruises from buggy-related calamities, and have v pale skin so they show up. You can just use normal concealer or foundation - use your normal one or buy one to match your leg. Exfoliate and moisturise your legs first so you don't get a flaky effect.
