First of all, what causes the black eyes. Are they truly black eyes from being hit? If so, the best way to deal with them is to get out of the situation now while you're still alive and kicking.

If you're talking about dark circles under your eyes due to lack of sleep, etc, then there are concealers you can buy to effectively cover the area.

The skin around the eye is very loose, with mostly fat underneath it. This makes it an ideal site for fluid to accumulate. The effects of gravity also help to swell this part of the face. This is why many people wake up with "puffy" eyes in the morning.
When there is an injury to the face, the skin around the eye is one of the first places to swell. Depending on the location and type of injury, one or both eyes may be affected.

Self-Care at Home
Rest and ice applied early after the injury help to decrease swelling and pain.

Ice helps to decrease swelling by constricting blood vessels, by decreasing fluid accumulation, and by cooling and numbing the area.
Apply ice for 20 minutes an hour every hour while awake, for the first 24 hours. Ice should not be applied directly to the injury.

To avoid potential cold injury to the site, wrap the ice in a cloth or use a commercial ice pack. A bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth makes a good ice pack.
Protect the area from further injury. Stay away from athletic or other possibly injurious activities until after the eye has healed.
Forget the old adage about putting a steak or a piece of raw meat on a black eye. No scientific evidence supports this claim. In addition, there is a danger in putting potentially bacteria-laden meat on a mucous membrane or an open skin injury.

stop fighting...lol...but if you can't go without trouble making then make sure you put ice on your eye straight after you hurt yourself (if that's possible) this will decrease the chances of actually getting a black eye...And if you are a girl/woman you can use some concealer to cover up the black eye...there is nothing you can do to heal the process...it usually doesn't take very long to heal anyways...good luck! :)

cold spoons, ice,cucumber slices, or tea bags can reduce the puffiness. Dermablend concealer would cover the darkness until it heals. Other than that not much else to do but wait for them to heal.

Ask at a beauty counter for special concealer, there are many on the market for just this.

You can only wait for it to heal, maybe use cosmetics or sunglasses.
