Makeup tips for covering bruises?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm returning to work (part-time for at least the first few days) on

Monday, which will be exactly four weeks since my surgery (upper +

genio). My extreme bruising has definitely declined in the past 1.5

weeks since I switched from ibuprofen to Tylenol, but I've definitely

still got some -- my black eyes seem to be fading slowest of all! I

also still have some red (and a little purple) on my chin, and the

rest is pale yellow or yellow-green. (I've also still got some

swelling, of course -- I feel a little like Jay Leno when I look at

my chin, though that may just be because I was so used to it when it

was so much smaller!) Does anyone have any makeup tips for

minimizing the discoloration? I know that I won't be able to cover

it up completely, but I would like to minimize it somewhat.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Sara
