Accidents happen, and a passionate kiss can lead to that telltale mark of love: a hickey. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about this affliction. A hickey is nothing more than a bruise, and like all bruises it just needs some time to heal. You can, however, try a few tricks to make it fade faster.
Steps:
1. Apply a cold compress immediately (although that may interrupt a moment of passion). Keep the compress on 20 minutes, off 20 minutes. The cold will constrict blood vessels and help keep the bruise from spreading. (Image 1)
2. If the hickey lasts for more than 48 hours, apply wet, warm compresses to decrease any pain or swelling. Once the blood has stopped spreading around the bruise, apply heat, which dilates blood vessels and thus speeds up the sweeping away of blood cells. In most cases, moist heat is more effective than dry heat, because the moisture helps wick the heat beneath the skin. (Image 2)
3. Apply concealer in a shade that's lighter than your natural skin color and discreet enough to fend off unwanted attention. (Image 3)
4. Remember that if all else fails, nothing beats a turtleneck sweater - or a scarf in summer.
Or you try using some of that tattoo coverup...I put the link below.
Hope that helps! Good Luck!

Yes you are in luck! Take a plastic lipstick ( tube form) lid and place over the hickie (or portion of hickie) and while applying pressure pushing downward and at the same time twisting and then releasing. Replace lid gently push twist release. Think of opening a child proof medication bottle how you have to apply pressure twist that sort of motion. What this does is makes a slight reverse sucktion it works I have used the technique many times for friends. GOOD LUCK! Just do short gentle push twisting motions you will be amazed!!!!

Ice will minimize the damage since a hickie is a type of bruise. A turtle neck will look silly this time of year. Maybe a light scarf.

comb it out. Take a comb rub it on the hickey, once it hurts and gets red take a break, keep doing it. It looks like it's getting worse but it gets better.

Well if you have tried to cover it up with make up and that didn't work.......... wear a turtle neck or if you have long hair and it is where your hair can cover it let your hair down..... good luck
