The answer is no...
And I know this, I do. But I'm desperate. So I'm throwing it out there anyway- does anyone know of any even remotely effective hickey removal methods? There's only so much you can do with makeup, and I'm pale enough that it's generally quite noticeable. It's not the end of the world, but I'd like to get a little less shit at work tomorrow...so if any of those high school rumors or old wive's tales are true, please please please let me know. Thank you for your assistance in this catastrophic matter

Turltenecks can be effective.
I have heard that combing the area within a few hours can help them look less obvious. If you can see the hickeys, it is too late.

Turtlenecks! Or, there's this stuff that Max Factor makes called Pancake...it's very thick makeup, like stage makeup. It's good for covering stuff up.

DMSO . . .
A hickey is justa bruise right?
So a 50/50 solution should get rid of a hicky over night. You put it on for about 10 minutes and then rinse it off . .
Worked for me.

OMG you put dmso on you!!
ewww
that stuff REEKS and supposedly tastes just as bad.
not to mention it is a powerful solvent that will take whatever happens to be on your skin right into your body!!!
and it isnt good for your kidneys either...We have to be very careful when we use it at work. And the horses reek for days when they have DMSO in their fluids.

DMSO dimethylsulfoxide
powerful organic solvent -- you get it on your skin and it will pass through immediately -- tastes AWFUL , yes you can taste it from just touching it -- and whatever is mixed with it also passes through your skin.
nasty stuff, but it is good for veterinary use....
it makes them smell like really really bad garlic....for days
it is nauseating to have to smell it

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

Agree! I don't think I've forayed into hickeys-r-us since I was 15.
