Black eye

My 6 year old accidentally gave me a black eye 6 weeks ago. The bruising went after 3 weeks but since then I've been left with a dark ring around my eye 😩 it looks like I am really tired but in one eye only!

Any suggestions on how I can get rid? I have been applying arnica gel since it happened but I don't think it's made much difference. It's really getting me down.

To be honest the only thing that's going to make much difference is concealer! I had one a while ago and tried ice, arnica, witch hazel etc etc and it didn't speed it up a jot. The NYX concealer is really good at covering it though!

Thanks, I'll look out for it, I do need some new concealer!

Estée Lauder doublewear concealer is the best I’ve ever used and has a really good natural finish. Doesn’t budge on my face, ever. Layer it with a setting powder (concealer, powder, concealer) if it still needs a bit more coverage - worked for my friend when she hit her head and had two black eyes for what seemed like months

Thank you! It's on my list, I do love an excuse to browse products (even though a black eye is a pretty extreme excuse!)
