Help!

[RockyisMYRhino]

It's my birthday on Saturday and today DS decided mummy needed an early birthday present of a black eye (complete accident involving opening a cupboard door). I'm due to go out for dinner with DH and friends Saturday night so obviously need to try and cover it up a bit but don't really know how. Help!!!!!

Wear it with pride or wear sunglasses everywhere.

Some sort of heavy concealer, layered a few times then pressed powder on top?
You’d first need to apply a neutralising colour (like green if it was a red spot but I don’t know what is the colour for a black bruise).
Cheap fix - a base neutralising palette from Revolution (Superdrug sells it probably Boots as well, it’s about £6 in the shops

I have no idea what you need to choose from there though. Have a play until you get the best cover. I only use the pink for under eyes, DD had a spare palette she gave to me that’s how I know about it.

Thanks @Branster I was thinking some sort of coloured concealer but I'm not very good with make up at all! I've still got tomorrow so I might see if I can pop into John Lewis or Debenhams or somewhere for a bit of advice (before buying something a bit more in my price range from somewhere else)
