how do i explain a hickey being a bruse (on the neck)?

Answer 1

tell everyone you went paint balling and one of your friends pegged you in the neck

Answer 2

I wear a lot of bandanas with t-shirts, so I've never really had a lot of problems covering up marks. You can easily go out and buy a cheap bandana from Wal-Mart or some other similar store, cut it in half, roll it up a bit, and tie it around your neck. Not only does it serve the purpose of covering up hickeys, but it looks good, as well. :D Turtlenecks and scarves also work.

Other things you can do are to get some foundation and dab it lightly over the mark. Make sure the foundation is lighter than the mark or you'll make it worse.

Another thing I've heard works well is to take toothpaste (it can't be the gel kind, it has to be the opaque, cream stuff...but I think you could easily use the white, opaque part of common gel/cream toothpastes) and put it over the mark and leave it there, ideally overnight. I know this works for acne, so it could very likely work for this, too.

I also have used Visine on acne to get rid of the redness and make it less noticable, so if you have Visine or any other eyedrops that will take red out of eyes, you could very well try putting that on the mark, as well.

Finally, for future reference, ask your partner to go easy on exposed skin. He doesn't have to stop kissing your neck, but just ask him not to suck/bite too hard on the skin there.
If he's a gentleman, he'll stop leaving marks where they can be seen.

Answer 3

HERE comes the voice of experience from long ago .
The person that did this to you is not a gentlemen but a possessive, inconsiderate maniac whom you should drop like a lead balloon pronto. It marks you as his property and he wants all the world to know it . I figure you are a young teen with raging hormones which makes you very vulnerable. Maybe it feels good for the moment but it does not become you. You can do better , trust me . Value yourself and never let any man do that to you . Decide on your own if you want to keep seeing that person but make a stand and a point and see to it that he cuts it out. Not only to you but forever .
It's not ment to be a tongue lashing but rather as character building .

Answer 4

You can't pass a hickey as a bruise..but heres my suggestion it a coverstick which means a concealer in the exact same shade as your skin tone and dot it on the hickey and blend and blend and it should cover it up right away...The second alternative is were a a sweater or a turtleneck.

Answer 5

It doesn't work. We've all tried it. Just wear a turtleneck or maybe a button-up shirt with a collar. Try some makeup over it, but that doesn't really help much either.

Answer 6

Put coverup on it, and wear turdle necks till it goes away...because frankly everyone will know it's a hickey if you don't..

Answer 7

You'll have a hard time to convince anyone to believe that your hickey is a bruise.

Answer 8

People won't believe it,seen it too many times.Except if ur a chick,then you could say that you burned you neck with a straightener or curling iron.Hey,I actually did do that before.

Answer 9

Wear a turtleneck or a scarf that covers it. Ask your bf not to do that again because it's embarrassing. It's like he's some animal marking you as his possession. If he keeps does it again, that's very inconsiderate.

Answer 10

I would suggest make up or just a scarf or a hoodie (if you have long hair or enough hair to cover your neck), or as suggested above, tell them you got burned.

Answer 11

scratch it
or draw and color in a big circle on a piece of paper
then rub it on ur neck and it can pass off as a big bruise
ask for hickies somewhere else on ur body next time!
(dont be gross tho) hah
