How to Perform Plastic Surgery With Makeup

Investing time and money in plastic surgery is not necessary when you can use makeup to get the same results. Skillful use of makeup can create the illusion of surgery, but is a much safer method and also costs a lot less. Some makeup techniques are simple enough to use at home, and some are best left to a professional makeup artist who can achieve the most effective results. Plastic surgery with makeup can create the illusion of

• Bigger lips
• A slimmer nose
• Smoother skin
• Younger, brighter eyes

Make the Skin Look Smoother

Procedures that reduce wrinkles and make the skin look smoother and more elastic are highly popular plastic surgeries. You can also try to get rid of facial lines using simple plastic surgery with makeup. Choose blushes and foundations that have a creamy consistency instead of a dry one, because these contain more moisture and help the skin look younger. A highlighter or a bronzer can work magic on the cheekbones. If you draw a horizontal line under the bone on each cheek, you can create an illusion of a cheek lift.

Makeup Alternative to Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is one of the most popular plastic surgeries. Most patients want a nose that looks narrower than before and has a more delicate appearance. However, it is easy to play with makeup to make the bridge of the nose look narrower.

Choose a highlighter that is a shade or two darker than your natural color. Apply it from the eyes to the tip of your nose in straight lines on both sides of the nose. Apply the rest of your makeup, but leave the highlighter visible enough so that it creates an illusion of a narrow nose.

Brighter, Youthful Eyes

A makeup artist can create an eyelift without actually resorting to expensive plastic surgery. An eyebrow wax can be used to shape the eyebrows into an arch. This makes the eye area look more open, just like a surgical eye lift would do.

Dying your eyebrows lighter also adds to the effect. Choose a dye that is one or two shades lighter than your eyebrows. This will give the eyes a brighter and more open look, which makes the whole eye area look youthful and can take years off your appearance. Enhancing your eyelashes with an eyelash curler or with eyelash extensions is another way towards bright, youthful eyes.

If you suffer from puffy eyes, there are simple home remedies to relieve the puffiness. Try an eye cream with herbal extracts such as chamomile, which is soothing to the skin and helps to relieve redness and itchiness. A concealer with peachy or yellowish tones helps to hide dark circles under the eyes.

How to Use Makeup to Get Fuller Lips

Lip augmentation is a common procedure, but you can use makeup to make your lips look fuller even without Botox. First, choose your lipstick carefully; choose a light-colored lip gloss for a younger look as light, glossy colors hide imperfections such as lip lines. If you like dark colors, be aware that they can highlight lines and other imperfections. Once you have chosen your lipstick, pick a lip liner that is a shade darker and use it just outside of the natural lip line.

Plastic surgery with makeup, especially when done by a professional makeup artist, is a safe technique with surprisingly effective results.
