    Doesn't distilled Witch hazel speed up the healing process of bruises ?

    Witch Hazel is the best thing to use if you want them to go quickly.

    To hide them in the short term; concealer and powder should hold still for a while.

    yep, witch hazel always seems to work. In the meantime cover them slightly with a bit of makeup but not too much or it will draw even more attention

    Hold a bag of frozen peas (or similar) to them and it should take down the swelling, other than that its just a case of time.

    If you get to them early, use arnica cream - it's good at reducing them.
