You could massage the bruise to get the blood broken up And avoid blood thinning medication as it will take longer to go away.

If it's not too late, apply ice. Apply gentle pressure around bruise each day. Vinegar and warm water together will increase blood flow. The last resort is to apply make-up to the bruise so it isn't noticeable.

Visit a pharmacist and purchase a suitable lotion or oil for that purpose e.g. bio-oil or visit a dermatologist for other options on how to do away with the bruise.

If you're seeking a more permanent solution beyond quick fixes, such asclothing and makeup, then few natural remedies will work better than "pulling" the bruised area in that you rub from the center of the bruise and away from its core in all directions.

Other than make-up, I am not aware of anything that you can do to hasten their disapperance. A bruise is blood that has gotten free in the tissues from an injury. The blood has natural way of destroying this blood, but nothing you do can speed it up. You are limited but the facts of nature in this area

Really you can't get rid of them, but you can cover them. Use cover up, or even wear an article of clothing that will easily hide it.

You can't just get rid of a bruise really quickly. You could cover it up though. Try using foundation or cover-up to mask it.

There really isn't much you can do but wait till the bruise heals itself. Applying a cold compress or ice pack will reduce swelling. Apply melted chocolate directly to the bruise and wrap it in gauze overnight. Clean it off the next morning. these are home remedies but its worth a try'
