These are nothing but minor bruises. Use Arnica or Witch Hazel as you would for any other bruise, rubbing in a few times a day. It should be gone in three days.
If you need to cover it before then, I would consider concealer stick. One that matches your skin tone closely.

A "hickey" is nothing more than a bruise. Blood has been pulled from the capilaries and veins close to the surface of the skin so that the blood is visible in the upper layers of the dermis(the skin).
Only time will get rid of the bruise, as the blood has to be reabsorbed back into the system. Using ice and other gimmicks will lessen the redness a bit, but wont' truley get rid of the hickey.
Time for a good concealer and a turtle neck sweater - at least it's the weather for them! Good luck!

you will need:
1. spoon
2. cup
3. ice
4. water
Take the cup and fill it with ice water. Insert your spoon and get it ice cold. Take the round part of the spoon and rub it on the hickey. Apply allot of pressure. Once the spoon warms up again put it back in the ice water. Repeat this process until the hickey is visible going away. It will turn red but will go away. I have done this with very good results in about a day!

Been there.
1. Arnica cream
2. cold compress (like the cold spoon) constricts the blood vessels so it's less noticeable
3. I've heard of putting toothpaste on a penny and rubbing it on there. I don't know what kind of reaction takes place but apparently it works
4. If you use make-up to cover it, use a green stick first, which evens out the red. then cover with concealer.
5. turtlenecks

Put lemon juice on it. It wont get rid of it all but with dramaticly reduce the color.
You cant do anything to get a hickey off right away, that takes time, So try the lemon juice and it will be less noticeable

use the cap of a lipstick tube, twist it over the hickey, it hurts but will lighten it enough that make will be able to cover it.
