The best thing I've learned to use is
FACIAL HIGHLIGHTER!!! My little niece had an allergic reaction to stage makeup a few weeks ago and caused a hickey-like mark on her neck. I put that stuff on her and blended it in and you couldn't tell she even had a mark! By the way, she is a very fair/pale little girl, so when you said you were also, I figured this was your best option
PS: Next time ask him to give ya one where only you and him can see
