How to hide a hickey
Easy fixes to hide a hickey
There are many ways you can make that hickey disappear temporarily. We show you how to hide a hickey and avoid embarrassing situations.
Grab any scarf and wrap it around your neck if the hickey is in this area.
If your hickey is on your arm, wear long sleeve shirts. You can also put on a turtle neck if the affected area is the neck. This will only work though if it is cold or winter as you cannot wear this type of clothing during summer when it is warm.
Take an ice pack and put it on the affected area.
If you dont have an ice pack ready, use a frozen spoon. The object is to relieve pressure on your hickey by constricting broken blood capillaries.
You can also use a toothbrush to massage your hickey. Use a warm teabag or apply heat on your hickey. The purpose is to improve blood circulation making the colour of your hickey less red.
Makeup is a good way to hide a hide a hickey. Remember that the colour of a hickey is red so you will want to get green makeup that will diminish the redness of the affected area.
Once this is done, get a concealer that is closest to your skin tone. This will ensure that you have a good coverage and will prevent your blemish from appearing.
