How to Cover Up a Bruised Eye with Makeup
Have you ever been involved in an accident and woke the next day to find yourself with a bruised black and blue eye?
If it happens again, try this trick I taught myself... Just for the record, my ugly swollen black eye was caused when I tripped over my own feet and hit the side of my head while on vacation! I had to do something quick to conceal it and came up with this combination that worked very well.
-
Apply a good amount of concealer to the discolored areas.
-
Follow with dry mineral powder foundation.
-
Use Navy Blue eyeshadow on the eyelid.
-
Use cream colored eyeshadow under the brow.
-
Do not use eyeliner - it makes the eye look worse when swollen.
-
Apply four coats of mascara to draw attention more to the the lashes and not the lid.
Don't use frosted or shimmer eyeshadow. Stay with a matte or satin. Frosted and shimmers naturally draw attention to the eyes. You can read more about their differences here.
Remember to use a light touch around the wounded eye.
