If you want to fake a hickey, first take an empty 2-liter bottle and squeeze the middle of it between your hands. The more you squeeze the bottle, the more suction you can create, which means a more intense-looking hickey. With the bottle still squeezed, place its mouth on the side of your neck and hold it there for around 15 seconds. When the time is up, let go of the bottle to create suction and pull the bottle away. Since a perfect circle won’t look like a believable hickey, use the bottle trick again but this time move the mouth over a centimeter or two so you end up with more of an oval shape. Alternatively, you can use some dark pink, dark purple, and dark blue eye shadow to paint a hickey on your neck.
