Answer 1

There's an old wives tale or something about puting a raw piece of meat on your black eye! I wouldn't suggest it!

You can try covering it up w makeup, but it may not do any good. Depending on how deep the bruise is, it may go through phases. Start off a dk purply-blue, then go to a brownish yellow and fade from there. I know it sounds awful.

When I was in high school I was punched in the face by a guy. I got 5 stitches. I had such a deep bruise around my eye that it took 3 weeks to go away. Makeup just made it look funny.

I did one summer, fall off the water skis on the back of our boat. I hit the water face first and ended up with a bruise around my eye. It only stayed for about 5 or 6 days.

Try to be positive, it will go away!

Answer 2

Ice. Ice reduces swelling.

Answer 3

You don't say when this happened, but if twenty fours hours have passed, start using moist heat. During the first twenty four hours, ice packs should have been used, twenty minutes on, twenty off. If the time has passed, using moist heat will help your body absorb the blood causing the bruise, quicker. Just take a wash cloth, soak it with hot water, ring it out then place it on the bruise. Do this several times at least twice a day or even three. The only way to hide it is with some facial cover up. Don't worry about the bruise, people who know you knows it was caused by a accident, and they should except that. It doesn't change what's in your heart, just your face for a few days. Best to young young lady and I hope for your sake the bruise leaves quicker than normal. Good luck.

Answer 6

ran into an elbow? guess thats better than saying you ran into a door. lol. but however you got it theres no way to make it heal "really fast."or even "fast," lol. dunno about hiding it either since gotta say that sometimes can look even MORE noticeable when a girl has a black eye and piles makeuo on it. hey, if really was an accident then dont gotta hide it like your ashamed of it and if it was from a bf should let ppl see it so HE feels ashamed!

Answer 7

unfortunately there is no quick way to heal a black eye, it the blood vessels that have be bruise and rupture depending on how hard the hit was it can take about a week and and a half for it to heal all the way.

you can us make up for the under the eye to cover it up until it heals,but i dont know how much that is going to help

Answer 8

The only thing I've heard, but never tried is raw steak on the eye.  I know its gross, personally, I'd rather have the black eye.
