I assume you've cleaned it, right? Take a piece of surgical tape, or the tape part of a bandaid, and squeeze the wound shut with your other hand. While it's squeezed shut, tape it with the band-aid. Then, keep your finger on that cut for 10 minutes, no cheating. Apply medium pressure for 10 minutes. Then reevaluate. Facial cuts seem to bleed more than any other place, because the tissue is full of nerves and lots of blood flow. So just because it bleeds a lot doesn't mean you're dying.
If this doesn't work, try another 10 minutes of pressure. If that doesn't work, you need a stitch or two--head for the ER.
