Try to stay put togeter or distracted, not to start tearing up or get close to crying since that brings the red and puffy back even without tears. Rinse your face with cold water for a few minutes, especially around eyes (be gentle, don't d=rub, just lightly splash). if you wear contacts, take them out a few minutes. If you have eye drops, use them. Drink some water too. If you have a while, use ice wrapped in a towel to reduce puffyness, but don't do that if you don't have time to wait for it to stop being red from the cold. Wear your hair loose to cover some of your face if possible. If you wear makeup, don't try to cover everything in a coat of it, and if you usually wear a lot you may want to try less. Concealer under eyes and around nose if it's red, maybe light foundation or light-neutral shadow on eyelids. Mascara but not really bold. Moisturising lip balm or clear/light gloss. Try to walk with your head up rather than hunched over looking at your feet, it makes your eyes look more open and if your posture doesn't look sad people are less likely to think your face looks saddened. /hugs anon
