Argh what is it with me and bad timing at the moment??

I am going to a wedding of a very old friend on Saturday and I have a lovely new outfit

http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/goingout/2/5 with this hat (hats are compulory) http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/goingout/16/3

So I was really looking forward to dressing up. Then I realised I'd be on crutches and in pain - but thats bearable.

Now I have 2 other issue. The first is my acne rosacea which has flaired up over my face and cheeks - plus the morphine itches have meant I have taken the skin off my nose and lips making my face scabby and unattractive.

Plus I am now developing pityriasis rosea over my chest (thanks Steph and Jen for diagnosing me) - my aunt had it and it covered her body.

So my question is how can I cover these conditions, my face in particular - do you have any tips or tricks for covering unsightly marks? Its a long day too - midday to midnight!

Please help me!

To take other peoples eyes away from your lips and nose wear more makeup on your eyes and a light lippy! The more you do your eyes up and the less your lips people will be automatically looking at your eyes. Its a distraction, they teach people to do this when they have had bad accidents. It just takes the main focus away. (hope it makes sense)... xxx

Thanks girls.

Sam I will have a look for that - any idea whats its called?

Em thats brilliant - I love my eyes anyway so will have no problem glamming them up. In fact I am wearing black so might go for darker sultry eye make up which can look quite dramatic when I get it right.

Any other ideas still welcome!
