Face correction with makeup: secrets, methods and main mistakes

"I do not know what to do. My friends say I'm beautiful. Men are courting me. But I look at photos of girls on Instagram and social networks - and cry, how beautiful others are, and how ugly I am.

When I look at my facial features separately, there seem to be no flaws. But, on the other hand, everything is not the way I want it. The face is somewhat rough, quite simple. I want to change my face, but I don’t know how!”

Natalya, 24 years old

Instagram undoubtedly brings celebrities closer. It’s so nice to come in and see how they live, what view they have from the window today, what they eat for breakfast, and how they see themselves in the mirror.

And if on Facebook people are increasingly measuring their intelligence and talents, then Instagram drives us into the narrow boundaries of faces and bodies. And few people at this moment realize the danger - the danger of comparing themselves with others!

In essence, we know nothing about the star person we follow, but pictures of his life kindly come to us with delivery. We look at them with complete trust and compare them with our real selves. But this is exactly what you don’t need to do.

Firstly, no one posts “raw” photos. You don't even need Photoshop. To make your skin cleaner, your facial features more graceful, and your figure 5 kilograms slimmer, just use filters.

Secondly, pay attention to how similar all Instagram beauties are to each other: just sisters. The fashion for the shape of the nose and the thickness of the lips will change, and at the age of 19 they will go to the dustbin of history, giving way to new fashionable faces.

“Today, the approach to the concept of beauty has changed a lot.

To be a timeless beauty, you need to be original.

It is the creation of an individual image that I have been doing for the last 10 years of my practice and have developed my own method of harmonizing appearance.

Harmonizing surgery is a modern direction of aesthetic plastic surgery, the so-called “attractive medicine”. It is the term “attractiveness,” and not “beauty,” that is used as an evaluation criterion.

We are all different and all beautiful. It's just that some people's beauty needs to be helped to fully manifest itself. And this is already a matter of science and art, at the intersection of which I practice.”

Andrey Iskornev, plastic surgeon.

Basic face types

Cosmetologists and makeup artists distinguish 7 main types of faces:

* oval is considered the closest to ideal;

* diamond-shaped resembles oval, but it is believed that the cheekbones of its owners are wider, and in the upper and lower parts the face narrows more, which is why it seems a little angular;

* a triangular face can have a base at the bottom and at the top, that is, narrowed either to the chin or to the forehead;

* a square face is distinguished by wide cheekbones, and its upper part has rectangular outlines;

* a rectangular face is very similar to a square face in external outline, but is distinguished by the predominance of vertical dimensions over horizontal ones;

* a trapezoidal face combines the features of a square and classic triangular face: wide cheekbones and a small forehead;

* A face is called round, the length and width of which are approximately equal, and the outer lines of the cheekbones and forehead are quite soft.

An oval face shape is considered ideal, the parts of which are proportional to each other. For example, the distance between the eyes should be equal to the length of one eye and the width of the nose in the wing area, and the corners of the mouth should coincide with a line drawn down from the pupil of the eye.

Cardio training every day

Most often, excess fat on the face is only a consequence of excess weight. Losing weight always affects all parts of the body, so if you lose weight, your face will change.

Cardio exercise is an aerobic exercise that significantly increases your heart rate. And this is one of the most effective ways to lose weight: the role of cardio in weight loss has been confirmed by many studies.

The more regularly and intensely you exercise, the more weight you will lose. A dose-response relation between aerobic exercise and visceral fat reduction: systematic review of clinical trials. .

In the fight against extra pounds, the main thing is consistency. 150–300 minutes of cardio per week is the norm that helps you lose weight. This is only 20–40 minutes per day Effects of a High vs Moderate Volume of Aerobic Exercise on Adiposity Outcomes in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial. .

Jogging, swimming, cycling and brisk walking are all cardio. Try walking to work or traveling at least part of the way without transport. Why is it better to go to work than back? Because then you will be in a hurry and will begin to walk faster, rather than strolling imposingly.

Correction of a rectangular face

To make a correction well, you need to understand its purpose. As a rule, a rectangular face is still very elongated, which means it needs to be visually shortened. In addition, it is “angular”, which means that the oval lines of the face need to be made softer. How to achieve this?

1. The lower jaw and forehead along the hairline need to be darkened; to do this, apply to these areas a foundation that is a shade darker than the one you usually use. Blend it from the chin to the ears.

2. The side surface of the face needs to be lightened in order to visually enlarge it.

3. It is better to choose blush in light, delicate shades that will enhance the cheekbones, and it is better to shade them in an oval shape. Better for angular lines

apply a blush of a darker tone to darken them, and therefore visually reduce them.

Method 5: Endotins.

Changing the oval of the face during plastic surgery has long been possible using a technique called plication: tissues are stitched and tightened (“gathered”) with surgical thread. Now this can be done with the help of endotins - they are used for periosteal lifting of the eyebrows, forehead, middle zone and lower third of the face. Endotins are plates made of a special biodegradable material, a copolymer of polylactic and glycolic acid, with three or five teeth measuring 3–4.5 mm: the tissues are “slung” onto the teeth and move upward. The material does not cause rejection and is completely absorbed in the patient’s body within six to nine months. During this time, the tightened area of ​​the face is securely “fixed” in its new position due to the formation of connective tissue. The teeth on the surface of endotins allow tissue to be evenly grouped and redistributed, provide the necessary tension vectors, and provide surgeons with wide options for choosing the fixation force. And fastening to bone structures makes this fixation very reliable. Depending on the installation location, there are different types of devices.

“The use of endotins during facial contour correction surgery makes it possible to easily adjust the position of soft tissues and securely fix them. The fixation process itself is very simple and accessible, which reduces the time spent on the operation. Excessive tension and disruption of the blood supply to tissues, overloading of sutures, which occurs when tissues are pinned with threads, are prevented. In addition, it opens up new possibilities for correcting the middle zone of the face, eyebrows, and necks without making additional incisions and using expensive equipment,” says Elena Karpova, plastic surgeon, Ph.D.

Cons: The main disadvantage is the high price. The use of endotins significantly increases the cost of surgery. The disadvantage of the technique is also the possibility of palpating endotins under the skin for some time.

Round face correction

As a rule, a round face is greatly expanded in the middle part. This means that the goal of the correction is to make it more elongated, oval, this is done by visually reducing the width of the cheekbones and chin. What needs to be done for this?

1. Apply a tone (foundation and powder) to the sides of the face and temples, a darker shade than the one you usually use.

2. A light tone is applied to the central part of the face to make it visually more noticeable: the center of the forehead, the bridge of the nose, the chin and the front surface of the cheekbones. This will help make the face appear more convex and “hide” the wide parts, focusing attention on the light areas.

3. We recommend applying eye shadow mostly to the outer corners of the eyes, and painting lips using a contour to give clarity to facial features.

4. It is better to apply blush in the shape of a triangle, extended to the corners of the mouth.

How to quickly enlarge lips

And finally, it's time to deal with the lips. There are three ways to enlarge your lips. The first is visual enhancement with the help of glitter-plumper and other decorative cosmetics. The second is augmentation with hyaluronic acid filler. And the third is the intervention of a plastic surgeon (“bulhorn”, lipofilling). The operation is rather needed to change the contour and shape of the lips. But if you want to make your lips not only voluminous, but also smooth, juicy, and moisturized from the inside, there is no better way than fillers.

Our advice: it is better to voice your wishes about changing your appearance during a consultation with your doctor. Believe me, a qualified doctor, be it a plastic surgeon or a cosmetologist, will always find the solution you need.

Square face correction

A square face, like a rectangular one, is characterized by sharp angles, but is not so elongated. As a rule, owners of this type of face have a fairly wide forehead and a massive lower jaw. The main rule is to darken the wide and protruding parts. To do this, we follow a few simple rules.

1. Darken the corners, blending the tone at the top to the temples, and at the bottom - under the cheekbones to soften the lines of the face and round the hairline. We highlight the same parts as when correcting a round face: the chin, the bridge of the nose and the center of the forehead.

2. Apply blush to the middle part of the cheekbones in the shape of a triangle, extended towards the temples.

3. It is better to shape the eyebrows into a smooth arc, and highlight the eyes with bright makeup.

Non-surgical breast augmentation

Breast enlargement without surgery is one of the most popular requests on the Internet.
We look for all sorts of miraculous remedies on the Internet: massage, vitamins, exercises, soda, red clover, iodine, oils and, of course, the notorious cabbage... Exercises will strengthen the back muscles and improve posture, but will not affect the volume of the bust in any way. These are the structural features of the tissue of the mammary glands: it will not be possible to “pump up” the breasts. As for other folk remedies, let's think sensibly: if, for example, cabbage helped, would there really be plastic surgery clinics? Conclusion: breast enlargement will not be possible without surgery. But a plastic surgeon will be able to make not only the desired size, but also create a beautiful breast shape.

Triangular face

Correcting a triangle face comes down to one main goal: balancing the upper and lower parts of the face. This is not difficult to do.

1. Apply the dark tone in triangles to the sides of the forehead and temples.

2. Apply a light tone to the lower part of the cheeks and side cheekbones, and slightly darken the upper part.

3. If the chin stands out forward, powder it with a darker shade than usual.

4. We slightly expand the outer ends of the eyebrows and visually stretch them, pointing outward.

5. Apply light blush to the front surface of the cheeks, subzygomatic hollows and lateral surfaces of the lower jaw.

6. We make our lips bright, trying to visually enlarge them.

Less simple carbohydrates

Nothing new: sugar, baked goods and cheap pasta are sources of empty calories. Not much sense, a lot of fat.

After purification of raw materials, these products do not contain any useful nutrients and fiber. And since there is no fiber, they are digested quickly, increasing blood sugar levels. Then it falls just as quickly, and this causes hunger. So, by eating it with candy, we are only rocking the swing: very quickly we will want to take another High glycemic index foods, overeating, and obesity. .

There is not a single study that would reveal the effect of simple carbohydrates specifically on facial fat. But logic dictates that if you replace simple carbohydrates with complex ones, it will help you lose weight.

Preparation for procedures

In order to prepare for the contouring procedure, you do not need to comply with many restrictions.

How is contouring done with fillers?

  1. The doctor examines the patient and discusses the future correction plan.
  2. Then he demonstrates the sealed packaging of the drug (the drug must not have been previously opened) and opens it.
  3. Many preparations containing hyaluronic acid already contain an anesthetic. Unpleasant sensations can be observed only at the first contact of the needle with the skin. But if the patient wishes, an anesthetic gel can be applied in advance.
  4. Treats the skin with an antiseptic and begins administering the drug.
  5. The facial contouring procedure takes 30-60 minutes. After administration of the drug, slight swelling of the tissues may be observed, which disappears within 2-3 days.

Side effects

Inflammatory processes, fibrosis, necrosis and other complications occur most often due to insufficient qualifications of the specialist who performed the procedure or due to the fault of the patient who did not inform the day before the procedure about the presence of previously administered drugs.

If the gel is introduced too superficially, the consequence of contouring may be its translucency or migration - an experienced cosmetologist will not allow this to happen. It is important to remember that contouring is a serious cosmetic procedure that must be performed exclusively under sterile conditions by a doctor with the appropriate certification and medical education.
