How to get rid of a black eye quick

[Spunky]

I just got a black eye like 20min ago and I need it gone. Any ideas to get rid of it. My friend said make up but I really don't want to do that (but if I have I I will) please help thanks

Make up is the way to go.. i recommend asking a girl.. we use all sorts of cover up and conciliator

Spunky, I wont ask how you got that black eye, but I'll tell you it's caused by a blunt physical trauma which results in broken blood vessels and blood pooling under the surface, which gives it the characteristic 'black' appearance.

Ice it immediately, put an ice pack on it ASAP and for as long as you can tolerate it. Unfortunately, like any bruise, it will take a while to heal (the blood needs to be reabsorbed), and (hold on here, you won't like this), it will go from black/blue, to green, to pale yellow as it heals, which takes a bit of time depending in how bad the bruise is).

Make up might mask it, but it might also draw attention to it, b/c it will look like make up. Have a girl do this, they're good at making things blend in naturally.

Just a quick note from experience... if it aches etc do NOT take painkillers that contain asprin as they thin the blood and prevent the broken vessels healing.
