That Badge of Honor They Call Black Eye

Unless you’re purposely trying to convince people how much of a badass you are, a black eye will not do your public image any favor. Even then, time has its ways of exposing the phonies, so you may have a lot of proving to do in the near future, so be prepared.

For this reason alone, it is important to hide that shiner. It may have become quite the badge of honor, what with the increased popularity of fight sports, more significantly, mixed martial arts. But out in public, it can mean having your butt handed to you for other people; plus, you don’t always have the benefit of every single one of them asking you, “So what happened to the other guy?” so you can lie and save yourself from the looming embarrassment.

Listen closely so the next time you go to the wholesale sunglasses section of the department store, you have this in mind:

If you’re not about to go to a job interview or any formal event, the simplest and most logical way to cover it is by wearing a pair of sunglasses, and quite frankly, this is the absolute way to go. If you’re a guy and you plan on concealing your black eye with makeup, you are taking the unmanly route.

Find one that would cover the entire thing. Wearing a pair of sunglasses that leaves some parts of the bruise showing only adds to the ugly. Oftentimes shiners go around the eye so avoid the stupid mistake of wearing small sunglasses in trying to conceal it. Of course, you may want to steer away from clean lenses, too.

Ultimately, people still associate a black eye with wayward behavior. So to avoid any false impression, you may want to cover it up with a stylish pair of sunglasses. After all, sunglasses are and always will be the manifestation of badass.

This is why it is good to sell sunglasses in fight events or any similar gathering. For the highest quality and reasonably priced sunglasses, you know where to go.
