WOW!! What a terrible ordeal! I'm glad you didn't get hurt worse. I also think a shawl or pretty wrap would be a better choice for this weekend. I would be very hesitant to put any sort of make-up or concealer on a burn that fresh. I would be worried about infection and causing more long term scarring.
As for your eyes, the flash could have burned the cornea's. I would really pay attention to your vision. If it just intermediate blurring, meaning that it comes and goes, its probably just dryness. Systane drops, available at any drug store are the best lubricant. Tears also makes a good one but you have to put them in more often. If the blurriness is there ALL the time, you are light sensative or see LOTS of floaters (like someone through dirt in your face) or see curtains or veils in your vision, you need to be seen RIGHT AWAY by an opthlamologist. I've worked for eye doctors for about 15 years. Let me know if you have any other "odd" vision issues and I should be able to tell you if you need to see a specialist or not!
To help prevent long term scars, I would start using (as soon as the dr says its ok, of course) a cream like neosporin for scars, they really do help make a difference long term!
I hope you feel better soon!
