Covering Wounds?

I am in a friend's wedding this week and a week ago I had a laceration to my eye. It is still healing and is currently just scabbed over right now. Obviously makeup directly on the cut is probably not a good idea... 

Anyone have any tips on how to camouflage or cover up the wound?

    Sunglasses?

    But really, since makeup is a no-no then there isn't much you can do to cover it up.

    I just wasn't sure about special band-aids that had a surface that makeup could be applied to. Guess I'll just have to deal with it. I suppose if the bride really wants to, she can have the pictures photoshopped.

    The bride shouldn't care that much about your small wound to have them photo shopped.  I am not sure how large of an area this wound covers but it will most likely not be noticeable in pictures unless the photographer takes super up close pictures.

    You're most likely right. Most people don't notice it until they are right up close in front of me. It's about a 1.5" laceration. I am probably making a bigger deal of it than it really is.

    Oh that is a tiny area.  Once your hair and makeup are done and even though that small area won't be covered up by makeup, since the rest of you will I doubt anyone will notice it.  And in a week it will probably look even better then it does now.  

    And if you are still a little self conscious about it, in pictures you could just slyly position yourself so that eye is facing away from the camera :)
