No one likes to have to deal with bruises, but sometimes they are an unfortunate side effect of the lovely effects of various injectibles (not always!).
Here are a few tricks to concealing bruises:
-prep skin and make sure the area is clean and DRY (you don't want your concealer sliding off a too-moist face)
-opt for a creamy, opaque concealer that comes in a pot or a pan (not the type in a tube, they are usually too sheer)
-choose a concealer that is very close to your natural depth of skintone but with a warm undertone for a purple bruise(the warm/yellow tone helps cancel out the purple of a fresh bruise)
-choose a concealer as close to your own skintone and depth when the bruise is older
-pat the concealer on with a brush directly onto darkest areas first, then feather out into clear skin
-press on a light layer of translucent powder to set (carefully, dont want to lift the concealer) using a velour puff or a sponge
You may repeat with a second layer of concealer and powder if the bruise is very dark, but be VERY careful to not overblend, otherwise you will notice your concealer lifting as you continue your brushstrokes. If it starts lifting on me, I like to pat the area lightly with my finger and then apply a whisper of powder, then try for another layer. If this still doesn't work, I start again.

This method for bruises didn't work for me. I used Lancome's concealer in a pot cream to powder and then covered it with the mineral glow powder (very lightly and gently)and it didn't work the bruise was still viible. It has been 11 days since I had filler in the marrionete lines and I still look like I've been punched in the face. What did I do wrong?
