Flawless Skin

One of the biggest tricks to learn for flawless beautiful skin will not cost you much money at all! The secret is to know how to use concealer effectively. You would be amazed what concealer can do to hide dark skin discolorations around the eyes, age spots, blemishes and under eye bags. You don't want an overly made up pancaked look yet you absolutely must verse yourself in concealer if you want skin that looks flawless.

First of all always moistureize your skin before applying a concealer to it. Use a thick cream that agrees with your face and let it sit for at least some seconds. This allows the cream to adhere to your face. That gives you a good primer like base on top of which the concealer goes. Take a creamy concealer and pat it over your age spots and imperfections using a makeup sponge or clean fingers. I like a creamy concealer as it gives you the best coverage.

Once you have your flaws concealed you can go over the skin with a light in texture liquid foundation or a makeup mineral powder. The foundation (or mineral powder) should be light and natural looking. It should effectively cover and blend the concealer phase and bring your face together into one even tone. The more even your skin tone is across your whole face the more flawless it will appear to be. Avoid heavy blush or bronzer that creates visible makeup marks or streak lines as that will blow your perfect skin illusion.

Once you get the hang of concealer and natural makeup, you can make yourself look like you have much better skin than you really do. Keep it a secret!

Nip Tuck

No one wants to look like a plastic surgery freak or like they had bad plastic surgery. That's not the desired effect. If you notice women that look really plastic tend to have everything and I mean everything done. They look almost too perfect. They pull their skin so tight that they look mask like. Obviously that is not good. But don't be fooled for one single second. Celebrities that appear to have perfect flawless skin are getting nipped and tucked. The difference is that they are getting good plastic surgery.

The idea is to only get nipped or tucked when you really need it (actually just before you really need is ideal). Plastic surgery should not be such an alien idea. I think a woman might want to venture into a plastic surgeons office maybe once or twice in her lifetime. Every woman has something that "drops". Some feature of her face or body that really ages her and she wants it fixed. In that case why not. At some point in life, maybe after a divorce, twins or kids growing up, you may want to take a little plunge and spoil yourself. A freshen up nip tuck can be helpful if it is done right.

I will give an example of the eye lift. Some women as they age develop very heavy eye lids, while others have large bags develop under their eyes. Heavy upper lids can actually obstruct the vision if you are into your sixties. This type of excess hanging skin problem becomes difficult to conceal. Sometimes, a bit of skin needs to be removed and then lifted to correct the problem. Makeup can't take care of it. Don't go crazy with the cosmetic surgery on the one hand, but don't beat yourself up for getting your eyes done in your fifties on the other.
