I had a nasty run in with a pallet jack at work yesterday and sustained a few large, dark purplish bruises on my arms. I'm getting married in 2 days and my dress is sleevless. Does anyone know of any good ways to cover them?

concealer and then foundation to match your skin and ice it everyday then rub alcolhol on it until it goes away.

well if all else fails you can always go with this old home remedy--- rub a bit of plain tooth paste (the paste kind, not the gel) into the bruise first, then apply the concealer. it works because green is the opposite color of red, and therefore negates the redness of the bruise. it works well with hickeys, so it should work for bruises.
a friend just told me that covergirl makes a green concealer stick for red blemishes, that would work too (but you wouldn't smell minty fresh).

Try calling a plastic surgeon's office or dermatalogist office and see if they can recommend something. I know there is coverup available for people with scars and stuff, you just have to find out what it is. I'm sure it's not available at Macy's, etc, but they might be able to steer you in the right direction to obtain it.
Good luck and congratulations.

You'll want to ice the bruise if it is swelling.
To cover it use make up concealer that blends in with your skin, Wear clothes that can cover it. Or cover it with gauze.
Blessings To You & Yours

Get some pure arnica gel, it really helps to get bruises down quickly, in my experience within a day. It might lessen them and then whoever is doing your makeup can try to disguise them, too. Good luck, have a fabulous day!

yeh, go to the m.a.c. makeup counter... for a foundation/concealer. once i went there and they have everything for sheer coverage to total/full converage. i was told that sometimes the full coverage products are used to cover tattoos in fashion shows.... good luck on your big day!
