You're going to need a color corrector and a concealer over that, makeup can only do so much though

I say that because if I wear red lipstick and it somehow smears, I swear for the life of me no amount of concealer and foundation cover it up, good luck.

If it's more red, you'll need a green color corrector
If it's purple, you'll need yellow
If it's blue, you need orange/peach

Did you suction a cup to your lips?.. I did the same thing once.. Ok, so it won't go away for like a week.. To get rid of it, put aloe Vera on it for like the first two days.. Then after two days, start messaging the area to get rid of blood clots. What you did, was pop the little blood vessels on your face, so that red mark is blood.. To cover it, find a heavy duty concealer/foundation (you'll need both).. Since the mark is red, try color correcting with a green concealer, then put skin tone concealer then foundation (remember to work in think layers to prevent cake face) also, make sure to lightly set with a power to ensure lasting power.. And if you still want your lips to look fuller, just try some lipgloss. I hope this helps ☺️

The green concealer I have is from NYX, the yellow one I have is also from NYX, and the peach one I have is a Maybelline dream lumi pen.

The NYX ones are full coverage and they have all kinds of colors, but not sure if you have enough time to go to the store? Otherwise I've seen that eyeshadow can work but I doubt it. Try looking in YouTube! How to cover a hickie or bruise

Maybelline sells a stick form of green concealer.. But I've never tried it, so I'm not sure about the quality.. As far as high end, I think mac has some.. Also, maybe Sonia Kashuk, you can find her products at target☺️

The Maybelline one actually works quite well, I have that stick concealer just in a skin tone shade haha... It's really cheap too! This girl used eyeshadow http://youtu.be/VVwMoA0otrc.

Renay do you think some of these things can do the trick?

You're going to use green concealer and blend it out on those areas then go in with a thick concealer like Laura Mercier high coverage concealer and then dab that all over the problem area use a eyeliner brush to define lines with the concealer around your lips. Hope this helps! Xoxo

The green concealer can be from NYX they have little jars of different kinds. That dream lumi concealer won't help because its more of a highlighter than a good concealer, fit me is a bit thicker but you need something that's going to really cover that up well. And use cocoa butter chapstick or even lotion at night to clarify the area and diminish the darkness.

No problem Jenny! It'll be gone soon hopefully! Good luck xo 💖 and like Charlotte says I'm sure people will see the funny side to this even if you do go a few days without attempting to cover it! You're still a beaute! 💋

Sorry I've only ever tried the matte foundation and the concealer. Those two together might work :)

Ice might help the swelling and inflammation go down - so try that first - then use like the beauties suggested a color corrector followed by a full coverage concealer and set it with some translucent powder to keep it in place and you can layer lipstick over it so your lips don't look strange covered in concealer.

Omg! I'm sorry but this is a little funny. Try to correct it and the concealer and set it with le powder.
