How to Hide a Hickey/Bruise

Hiding hickeys is a very underrated skill in the makeup world. It isn't hard, but it takes a lot of patience.

Here's what you'll need:

Lightest foundation you have

Concealer stick

Yellow corrective concealer (optional but highly encouraged)

Translucent powder

Here's what you do: (note: blend outwards after each step)

1. Apply a light layer of foundation over offending area. Pat it on, not rub. Never rub when covering a hickey

2. Follow with heavy coat of concealer

3. Another coat of foundation

4. Coat of yellow concealer if you have it, regular if you don't

5. Foundation again

6. Concealer

7. Foundation

8. Repeat 4-6 as necessary, making sure to blend liberally. 

9. Apply translucent powder with fluffy brush

Your end result may not be perfect, but unless you are up against the hickey police and investigation squad, you should be fine.
