Oh Sh*t Beauty Disasters Fixed

Michael Vartan bruise

The disaster: A bruise in a noticeable place

The scenario: Your stunt double called in sick and the next thing you know you’re getting a roundhouse kick to the face … alternatively, you might have just banged your knee into the coffee table last night.

What to do: Bosso says you can cover just about any bruise once you understand color correcting. She suggests picking up a palette like Make Up For Ever Palette #5, $36, it has a range of colors that’ll hide any shade of bruise. Next, she says to figure out the dominant shade of your shiner and neutralize it with the opposite shade. So if it’s red use green, blue use yellow, etc. Then top that with a concealer that matches your skin tone and finish with powder. And next time, watch where you’re walking, OK?
