9 Products That Cover A Hickey In One Step

You sly dog, you. Things got a little, ahem, heated on your date last night and now a hickey large enough to warrant its own zip code is staring back at you in the bathroom mirror. Whether you're off to yoga with friends or worse, dinner with the 'rents, here are nine products that cover a hickey in one step.

Sucking has its place in the bedroom, but if misplaced can leave some serious bruising and perhaps scars. That's because a hickey is essentially a bruise, which is why you need to heal it first and then conceal. If you have time, apply a cold pack or chilly spoon to the hickey. Pop the spoon in the freezer as you get ready for the day, and then apply to the affected area for 10-15 minutes. Rubbing a vitamin K-packed serum might also mitigate the intense color.

None of those tricks worked well enough to hit the light of day? Not to worry. You can conceal a bruise with some heavy-duty products or a strong makeup technique.
