How to cover up Nasolabial folds/ Laugh Lines with Makeup and How to Get rid of them with Facial Exercise

The nasolabial folds, commonly known as "laugh lines or smile lines", are the two skin folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. It is defined by facial structures that support the buccal muscle and  they separate the cheeks from the upper lip.

With age the fold grows in length and depth and in this video I will show you how to make these lines less prominent with makeup. I will also show you one facial exercise that can plump up these lines overtime without using any fillers.   You can use this technique on any area that is receded and needs to be brought forward such as sunken eyes or frown wrinkles.

How To Get Bigger Lips Without Fillers

As we age the collagen production in our lips reduces and the lips get thinner and smaller. 

In order to have fuller lips you have to encourage the collagen production again. 

In this video I will show you how you can do that naturally without using any fillers. 

Also I will show you how you can plump up your lip instantly using makep up only. 

So if you want bigger, fuller, plumper lips, then watch this video...NOW! :) 

How to Get Rid of Sunken Eyes & Circles Instantly

Sunken eyes and circles can make you appear exhausted and unhealthy. These circles have a darker pigment than the rest of the skin and are caused by a variety of factors such as dehydration, lack of sleep, sun exposure and thinning skin. Here is one makeup trick that will make you instantly wide awake.
 Always apply a hydrating  cream before you start with your makeup. This will definitely help reduce the appearance of sunken eyes and dark circles.

Also drinking at least 2 litres water daily will plump up the area.

Always use  a moisturizing foundation - I am using MAC Face & Body. I really love this foundation - its super moisturizing and it gives such a healthy glow to the skin.

HOW TO CONCEAL THE SUNKEN EYES & CIRCELS
 Applying a thick creamy concealer directly on the line where the sunken eyes begin and then blend 50 percent of the product below the line and 50 percent above the line of the dark circles. I like to use the Bobbi Brown touch up brush but you could also use any eyeshadow brush with soft bristles.

 When choosing the concealer use one that is thick and blends easily. I highly can recommend the Bobbi Brown  Creamy Concealer, but also Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage and Becca's Ultimate Coverage Concealing Crème are both good choices. I generally don’t use any setting powder to set the concealer as I don’t like the ways it settles into my fine lines - but if you prefer you can use one.

 You can also use the same technique if you have prominent nasolobial folds. Apply the concealer into the folds - in this case the concealer can be bit lighter and blend with a small brush.

 That’s basically all the magic - this trick will make up look as you had 8 hours sleep - what I am talking about - you are gonna look like you got back from a SPA holidays.

 Hope this video was helpful to you - thank you so much for watching!

First Date Makeup for the over 30's

On your first date with your new hung you certainly want to look your best - unless you don't want to impress the guy, then I suggest you skin the makeup all together or even don't even bother to go on date in the first place - but that's another blog post. When you reach your 30s the first sign on ageing start to show - fine lines, crows feet, marionette lines, lions wrinkles a do I need to go on??? Ah the joys of getting older.

 For the first date I suggest you wear very light natural makeup as you don't want to look like you are trying to hard and also wearing more makeup will make you look older. If I want to make model look older I always use more makeup and matte powder on them. And men generally don't like women who wear tons of makeup - one of my male friends told me once that he didn't go on second date with a girl because she was wearing to much makeup - we are talking, full face makeup, red lipstick and fake lashes. So ladies, learn from her mistakes and skip the lashes and the red lippy for the first date with your new man.

 I generally never use any powders on me as it makes my skin look very dry and in settles into my lines - I only use setting spay and to set my cream foundation. I kind of like the glowy look so it doesn't bother me if my face lightly shines.

 Here is my step by step YouTube tutorial that will suit everyone - of course you don't have to use the same products to get this look.
