    Icing the area several times a day for 30 minutes.

    ETA: your make up artist should be able to help too

    Alternate between ice and heat. Ice helps reduce swellibg and heat helps circulatuon. and elevate the swollen area.

    Not sure if it really works, but arnica tablets are said to help with bruising.

    Keep ice on it to get the swelling down and help with the discoloration. If u are doing your own makeup Green cancels out red. Next week go to a makeup counter like MAC or to ulta and get some concealer. If you're getting your makeup professionally done, next week give your MUA a heads up and send a photo because the MUA needs to be prepared with proper concealer and possible green to cancel out any redness.

    Your wedding is in 17 days, plenty of time for the swelling to go down.

    Definitely ice and you could try taking ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory for the swelling. I hope you heal fast!

    Best way to apply cold compress to the face is to keep spoons in the freeze and use those.
