The theory goes that opposite colours will cancel each other out so using the colours of your black eye (which you can’t really see anymore, that’s why you had to make note earlier) we can decide what colour to apply on top of the coverstick. You all remember the colour wheel from art lessons or that paint chart you used to decorate your house right? Well, its time to use it. See, almost covered already! I wouldn’t go out with a massive circle of concealer around my eye though so let’s work on blending it into your face.

Cover the bruising entirely with the coverstick and blend the edges into your ‘normal skin by patting them with your fingertips or a blending brush. Girls, you probably know what this is, for the guys it looks like skin-tone lipstick (but it isn’t lipstick so don’t search that section of the store!) and is a really thick concealer. Make a note of this colour now because you’ll be needing it later. Next, examine the colour of your black-eye, it’s probably purple but could be red, black, blue, brown, yellow, green or even have sections of different colours all blending into each other. Facial primer will work if you don’t have any eye-specific stuff as will a tiny bit of Vaseline (and I mean tiny) but neither of these will last quite as long as real eyeshadow primer. Now that the prep is done, apply eyeshadow primer because we will be using a lot of makeup here and we don’t want it to settle into wrinkles, the crease of the eyelid or wear off during the day (or night).

Men, I’m sure that the women you live with won’t notice you using theirs or if you live alone then buy one! Most moisturisers are cheap these days if you don’t have particular skin complaints or allergies. My dad uses Sudocreme for eczema which is also good as a topical spot treatment but otherwise, just pick your favourite.

I use Nivea but you just pick your favourite, Q10 plus is good for anti-ageing (so my mother tells me and her skin is at least 20 years younger than her!) while my sister (acne-prone) uses Neutrogena’s Visibly Clear. Next, moisturise, there are a million moisturisers out there that all do similar things. Once clean, rinse with icy cold water to close your pores and pat dry with a towel (men should do this too, your buddies aren’t watching you in the bathroom and ladies love clean fresh skin). I just use an everyday baby wipe, excellent for sensitive skin but not so much for makeup removal. First, wash your whole face with warm water, use a scrub if you like (never use soap on your face, it dries out the skin and can clog pores) or whatever cleanser you like.

Update 4:20 p.m.: No stick, puck or fist is to blame for the senator’s shiners: We’ve learned that the injury happened when he fell amid a multi-player pile-up during an annual game with friends around New Year’s. Kerry’s been banged up before on the ice: He attributed his ‘09 hip surgery and ‘05 knee surgery to the rigors of hockey and other sports before he entered Congress he had jaw surgery for a bad bite exacerbated by a run-in with a goal post (though some cynics noted it coincidentally made him more handsome). Who - or what - hit him? Aides were vague on details no word on where the game took place, if he sought treatment or how he got whacked.

(Updated 1/26: See earlier photo of John Kerry’s face injury) The Massachusetts Democrat, 68, was sporting two black eyes and a broken nose - the result, his office said, of a recent pick-up hockey game with family and friends. The Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins were upstaged during their White House visit Monday by an ice-hockey amateur who looked almost as rugged: Sen.
