Bruise: Bruises take their own time to heal. It is basically a collection of blood in the area where you see it. As it resolves, the colors change. No way to really hasten the recovery. Maybe some make up coverage until it resolves?

Time: Just give it time; if there is a break in the skin, do NOT try to cover it with makeup as it may result in more visible permanent scar due to the makeup
