Put away your wallets, no expensive nips and tucks here! Just the right products, and the right technique, and you've got yourself a beauty makeover.
Fake an eye lift
If puffy eyes are a problem for you, skip the eyelift and go for makeup that opens up your peepers. Try mally Beauty Shaping Secret (pictured), an eye-liner to the upper lid that creates a foolproof cat-eye effect. Apply mally Beauty Matte Wand on the inner corners and just under the brow bone. Add a little bit of a taupe shadow in the crease, concentrating on the outer corners. Last, make sure to curl those lashes! We have lift off!
Slim the nose
Always wanted that cute-as-a-button nose? Opt for makeup that has a contouring effect. Try mally Beauty Lift, Shape and Glow kit. Apply the contour shade with a skinny crease brush. Starting from the inside of the eyebrow and/or the bridge of your nose, lightly sweep the powder down in two straight lines. These lines should come over both nostrils and meet right under the tip of the nose. Blend, blend and blend! You are basically creating the illusion of a thinner nose.
Pucker up with fuller lips
If thin lips are an issue, skip the collagen injections and plump those lips with the right liner and lipstick. Apply a nude lip liner such as the Cle De Peau Beaute #102 -- it's a great liner that doesn't give a hard line, but creates the illusion of a fuller lip. Fill in with a light, pearly lip gloss. IsaDora makes a lot of inexpensive versions! The pearl catches the light and makes the lips look fuller and plumper. My favorite trick: Apply mally Beauty Light Wand (pictured) to the Cupid's bow of the upper lip. This defines the area and makes the lips pop! Mwah!
Conceal those wrinkles and fine lines
Face it: wrinkles and fine lines are a part of life for most of us. But there are ways to fight back! Age gracefully with Dr. Brandt Crease Release (pictured)! You can apply it right after cleansing the face, and you feel it tightening your skin immediately! The best part is you can apply your makeup right after. You don't have to wait for it to take effect at all! Laura Geller's Spackle Makeup Primer is great, too!
Get dewy skin like Teri Hatcher
We used a very sheer, but dewy foundation for the skin to give a lot of moisture to the face. I also used mally Beauty Cancellation Concealer with a thin powder to set it; but not so much that it gets cake-y. I applied lip gloss in a soft shade to make her lips look fuller, and then curled her lashes to open up her eyes. Gorgeous and camera ready!
Something every woman needs in her makeup cabinet
Invest in a smokey eye kit! Whatever the season, a smokey eye is always sexy and looks good on everyone. So hot!
