It's important to learn to hide a bruise if you bruise easily.If you have a large bruise on your face, it can distract you and damage your self esteem.It's possible to cover up a bruise with makeup and clothing without making the healing process more difficult.
Step 1: Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face.
It's a good idea to cleanse your face with a cleanser for your skin type.Use circular motions to gently work the cleanser into your skin.After rinsing your face, pat it dry with a clean towel.Make sure to get every crease and corner of your face by working the cleanser into your skin for at least 20 seconds.
Step 2: It's a good idea to apply a daily moisturizer.
If you want to prevent wrinkling, sunburn, or any other form of sun damage, choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more.You should apply sunscreen to your face and neck at least 15 minutes before you go outside.If you want to use two separate products, apply a simple moisturizer and follow it with a sunscreen of 30 SPF or greater.Even when it's not sunny, you should wear sunscreen.
Step 3: Select and apply a primer.
Color correction works by changing the colors on the color wheel.Before you apply makeup, use a primer on your bruise.You'll want a primer for each stage of your bruise since they change color as they heal.There is a wide variety of colors to choose from.The color wheel can be used to figure out which color to use.Blue, green, red, purple, and yellow are all canceled out by orange.
Step 4: The bruised area should be covered with a concealer.
If you have a light complexion, use 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone.Don't rub the concealer on your skin.If you want to get the desired coverage level, start with a small amount of concealer.Color correctors are also available if you would like to cut down a step.
Step 5: Use a foundation to cover your face.
Pick a foundation that matches your skin tone and shade.Make sure to blend the foundation into your skin along your chin and neck.The coverage should be built with a small amount of foundation.You can change this order by starting with a foundation and then using a concealer.Do whatever works for you.
Step 6: You can use a translucent powder to set your makeup.
You can use a dusting of powder along the areas where you have applied the most makeup.Use more powder along areas where you have applied makeup, or areas of your skin where shine and oil is a concern.If you want even more coverage, you can use a tinted powder, but for just setting your makeup, a translucent powder is all you need.
Step 7: There is a bruise on your forehead.
If you have bangs, make sure they fall in front of the bruise.If your bruise is in the middle of your forehead, you can either style them to the side or straight down.Blow dry your bangs while they're wet, brushing them in the direction of the bruise so that they dry in that direction.Finish with a spray of spray.
Step 8: If you have a bruise on your forehead, wear a hat or headband.
You can hide a bruise on your forehead with a hat.While brimmed hats and caps can provide shadow to hide a bruise, hats that sit lower down on your forehead can completely cover it.If you have a bruise on your forehead, put a beanie or beret on top of your head.If you have a bruise higher up on your forehead, wear a wide brimmed hat to make it harder to see it.
Step 9: To hide a bruise around your eyes or nose, wear sunglasses or eyeglasses.
If you'll be outside a lot, choose a dark pair of sunglasses.If you will be spending most of your time indoors or outside at night, choose a pair of eyeglasses with large frames.You don't have to have a prescription for your glasses.Pick up a pair of glasses that are clear or blue light canceling.Blue-light canceling glasses will protect your eyes from harmful blue-lights that are emitted from your computer and phone screens.
Step 10: A scarf hides a bruise on your chin.
Pick a scarf that is thin or thick.Wrap your scarf around your neck multiple times and keep it near your chin.A circle scarf is a great option as it loops around your neck multiple times.
Step 11: It's a good idea to wear a bright color.
If you want to pull attention away from your face, wear an attention-catching color.Go for an entire outfit made of bright colors, or choose either a bright pair of pants or a shirt.The color wheel can be used to your advantage.To tone down the bruise's vividness, wear a color other than your bruise.If you have a bruise, wear a yellow shirt.
Step 12: Apply makeup.
Instead of covering the bruise with makeup, use a bold lip or eye.This technique is not meant to hide the bruise, but to direct attention away from it.If you want to experiment with other colors, wear a red or hot pink lipstick.This will make you pay attention to your lips.If you want to draw attention to your eyes, do a smoky eye or winged liner.If you want an even better effect, put on fake eyelashes.
Step 13: Big, bold accessories can be used.
If you want to distract attention away from a bruise, use a piece of statement jewelry or loud accessories.This won't hide the bruise, but it will give people something to focus on.Large earrings or a statement necklace grab people's attention.If you want to draw attention away from your face, put on a large belt.
Step 14: Put on cute shoes.
Have you ever been told to wear clothes to highlight what makes you feel confident?This can draw attention to preferred areas and distract from other areas.To draw attention to your feet, wear shoes that are interesting.A lot of people compliment you on your bright colored shoes, high heels, or just shoes.
