Well if you are on the internet you may see a lot of people with lip fillers, whether it's celebrities, Instagram Models or influencers, everyone has lip fillers and they are most likely the reason you want to get lip fillers but before you decide to get them to make sure you know these facts and tips so you don't get weird looking lips or something you did not expect.

Let's be honest, for girls out there with thin lips its kind of a struggle but if you look at the bright side you can always use a liner or a liquid lipstick to adjust the lip shape but that's not the point. it's not as a piece of cake thingy as you might but even though getting your lips injected is about as common as getting your hair highlighted (Thanks to Instagram). But let me remind you that lip augmentation is a real procedure with real risks when done incorrectly. And as much as I’m sure you’d love to hurry up and get those plump lips you’ve always wanted, take some time to consider all the facts first.

Something I recently found out that fillers can get you blind, your skin can start falling and you might get an allergic reaction but well these are not the full list of side effects, the list can go on and on. so before you head out to get your lips have done here's what you should know.

How do fillers work?
As we age, the skin loses laxity, volume, and subcutaneous fat. Dermal fillers which are naturally derived such as hyaluronic acid can be injected into the skin to plump, add volume to the area or soften facial lines or wrinkles.

How much are they?
From £190 for a single treatment with the nurse, up to £1320 for a masseter treatment with the medical director.

Are there risks involved?
As with any procedure, surgical or non-surgical, there is always an element of risk involved. However, with the correct administration of the injections, the risks associated with naturally derived dermal fillers are rare and minimal. These can vary from a little bruising to lumps around the area.

What are these lumps and why do they happen?
They are usually inside the lip so cannot be seen on the outside, however, if you feel the lip from the inside they can be felt. Sometimes too much product is injected, resulting in it looking for a space to sit in. If minor, they will disappear with time. If the lumps are more noticeable, we can inject a substance to make them disappear. They could occur with too thick a filler and they are more likely to show up with a patient who has thin lips as space wherein you are injecting is small.

What are the risks of having hyaluronic acid filler in your lips?
Lip fillers should be administered in a safe and sterile environment by a fully trained practitioner who can exhibit good results in order to avoid disfigurement. Unfortunately, the treatment is often portrayed as a ‘beauty treatment’ and offered at slashed prices in an unsterile environment, leading to many unregulated establishments acting unethically. In these cases, there are great risks with lip fillers such as: infection, bruising, necrosis, and disfigurement. A lack of care and experience heightens these risks, so people should do thorough research on the establishment and the practitioner offering the treatment and not be lured into cheap options.

Why is it so often very noticeable?
Some patients use fillers to add volume to areas of the face where natural fat has depleted such as around the eyes and the cheeks. When administered in the correct way, you should get natural-looking results. However, sometimes the results can look unnatural when too much filler is placed in these areas which makes the face look puffy. The best approach is “less is more”. More filler can always be added, but it is more difficult to take away if you’ve gone overboard. When you are over 50, problems can also arise as the loss of facial volume is too significant and so the results are less subtle. At this age, you might need to tighten and lift the skin with a facelift. The reason you see so many bad cases of fillers is because the media sensationalize the worst ‘botched’ cases, but generally speaking, you can achieve very natural looking results when administered correctly.

Who is an ideal candidate for the treatment?
Dermal fillers are a fantastic option for those that have imperfections and irregularities on the face. They can help with superficial problems such as wrinkles and lines, small and thin lips, dents or contours in the face, hollows under the eyes, and even irregularities with the nose.

How young can you be to have the treatment?
Fillers aren’t usually necessary for the face until your forties which is when you may start to notice a visible loss of volume in the skin. On the other hand, lip fillers can be offered at a younger age, particularly as they are part of a growing non-surgical trend at the moment. I would not recommend lip fillers for anyone who has not yet reached their mid-twenties, but this is also dependent on whether or not they will be considered as a good candidate.

What are the worst side effects?
Side effects are rare but you may experience: bruising, redness, swelling and in some cases, you may see or feel little bumps under the skin. Sometimes, but not often, these bumps will be permanent. In the worst case scenario, you could be left with extreme swelling or bumps, then the adverse effects can be treated with Hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler.

I hope these tips are helpful for you before you get an appointment to ger lip fillers and if these were helpful please let me know by following us on our socials. <3

If Lizzo’s unsurprisingly gorgeous Allure cover and Lily Collins’ throwback-inspired Met Gala makeup are any indications, pastel makeup is back like it never left to remind us that it’s actually wearable. Like frosted makeup, knowing how to apply lighter shades–pastel lipstick specifically–will make or break the final look. In other words, you’ll either look like you stepped off a runway or stepped out the house without wiping away the crust and ash from a deep night’s sleep.

According to pro makeup artist and groomer Tara Lauren, this is the most obvious mistake we make when attempting to wear pastel lipstick and makeup in general. We automatically grab products that are just too chalky or pale because we think that the lightest shades are the only way to pull off the mod vibe. Thankfully, she says “there are ways to get that soft wash of color without looking ashy or drawn out.”

“My first step has nothing to do with the application but with grooming. Using colors like pastels can bring lots of attention to the mouth, making things like lip hair very noticeable,” she says. “I say make sure you are waxed or use my favorite Sally Hansen’s Facial Hair Removal Kit ($6.99) before rocking your fave lip.”

Another key hack for ensuring that pastel lipstick doesn’t leave you looking ghastly is by paying closer attention to the type of finish you choose. Lauren prefers a liquid lip color because “this will avoid the look for needing a touch up which can be especially unflattering when using lighter and sometimes cream-like shades of pastel.” I know matte formulas are top of the totem pole for most, but when you consider the amount of flaking that occurs with all-day wear, it’s probably the worst option for wearing a pastel shade with confidence. Instead, don’t be afraid to experiment with liquid lipsticks and glosses instead.

“Also, pastel lipstick options don’t always have to be opaque in color,” adds Lauren. “They can also be a luster lipstick, creamy and with just the right amount of shine that gives the lips a supple more fuller look.” And when looking for a color that will compliment your skin tone, the same rules that apply to makeup in general apply here. Identify whether your undertones are cool or warm and this will determine what works for you. With that being said, here are 15 newer pastel options that’ll suit a wide spectrum of skin tones.

Nothing has swept the beauty world off its feet quite like contouring. From mesmerizing IG feed makeup artist posts to our favorite influencers showing off their contour skills on Youtube, this trend has literally exploded. However, there’s often some confusion and misconceptions surrounding the products and tools used to achieve this sculpted look. To help give you some clarity, we’ve compiled an all-encompassing guide with everything you need to know to master contouring.

Primer
If you want flawless, long-lasting makeup application, first, you must apply primer. This principle is especially important when it comes to contouring, as you want to make sure you have a clean, smooth workspace. We recommend sticking to a matte formula because a shimmery or dewy primer will not work well with the effects of your highlighting and shadowing.

Foundation
After you prime, a solid foundation is key — and, by “solid foundation,” we mean actual foundation. While a powder foundation is OK, we prefer liquid-based formulas for contouring because they’ll give you clean, satiny coverage and a smooth finish. Try working a light layer of foundation into your skin and build it up as needed. Don’t go overboard on this — you don’t want your makeup to look cakey.

Concealer
We all get breakouts from time to time, but don’t let them deter you from having flawless contoured makeup. Do a little damage control with a lightweight concealer that blends well into your skin. Dab a little on the blemish after foundation and blend well with a concealer brush or beauty sponge.

Contouring ProductsNow that your base products are covered, it’s time to move on to the main event. From contouring palettes to two-in-one contouring sticks, your days of scavenging for the perfect shades and products are over.

Contouring and Highlighting With PowderWhen it comes to contouring powder (for shadowing), the rule is to go with a hue that is two shades darker than your natural color. While we don’t recommend a shimmery, light-reflecting bronzer, a matte bronzer can work just as well as a contouring powder. To highlight, you’ll want to go one to two shades lighter to illuminate the skin.

Contouring and Highlighting With ConcealerSome people find liquid contouring products to be easier to blend and more natural-looking than powders. In that case, a cream-based concealer works well for contouring if you go a shade or two darker than your natural skin tone, and a shade or two lighter to highlight. For more application control, try a concealer stick.

Two In One Contouring SticksTo streamline the process, many brands are offering two-in-one contouring and highlighting duos. That being said, be sure to keep an eye on the shades included in these multi-tasking products to ensure they work with your skin tone. These little duo sticks are great for contouring on the go and give you a chiseled, defined face in minutes.

Contouring With EyeshadowIf you don’t have any of the contouring items listed above — and have no desire to invest in them — but still want to take a stab at the trend, you’re in luck. You may just have contouring and highlighting products in your makeup drawer, among the dozens of eyeshadow palettes and singles. Try a matte brown or taupe-colored shadow for contouring and beige or ivory shadow for highlighting.

Contouring Application ToolsThe difference between looking perfectly chiseled and looking splotchy lies in your blending technique. A brush’s shape and bristles will determine how your makeup is blended, so do your due diligence and get a brush specifically designed for contouring

Contouring and Highlighting BrushesFor cheek, face and nose contouring, try an angular brush that will apply your bronzer more precisely and accurately in the areas you need to shadow and make slimmer. For highlighting the face, you’re going to want to go with a brush that has a flat, circular tip to allow for a more concise and direct application of highlighting powder.

Contouring With a Beauty SpongeIf you’re not a fan of brushes (or don’t own one), beauty sponges can also get the job done. Just make sure you blend lightly, using upward strokes until there are no visible lines or color separation.

There are many times that we skip skincare until our skin comes to a point which reveals how it has been taken care. Dullness, acne, wrinkles and even discoloration appears It's a pretty bad condition when you go through this and have no idea what went wrong or what should be done.

Don't worry, I got some full prove remedies which easy and no side effect as they're natural home remedies easy to get and easy to make.

Honey & Rose Yogurt Face Mask

Ingredients

6-7 fresh rose petals
2 tbsp organic rosewater
1 tbsp local yogurt
1 tsp Manuka honey ( or a Local honey )

Preparation

Crush rose petals in a bowl and add rosewater, yogurt, and honey and mix well. Apply to the skin and leave it for 10 minutes, then rinse.

Just be sure to use a plain, organic variety. You don’t want unnecessary additives and sugar anywhere near your body.

I’m sure you’re curious, so go ahead. Grab that tub of yogurt and test out these five skin-rejuvenating ways to use the creamy stuff—right now!

1. Moisturize

Revive dull skin on your face with only that tasty yogurt in your fridge. A simple yogurt face mask applied two or three times a week will leave you with soft, supple skin—and save you a load of cash on beauty products.

To indulge in a yogurt facial, follow these steps: First, wash your face. When you’re finished slathering and splashing, smooth some creamy, natural yogurt over your face and neck. The yogurt will lock in the moisture from washing your face. Let the mixture refresh your skin for about ten minutes, and then rinse it off.

The lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid, in the yogurt helps smooth and exfoliate skin. Make sure to use a thick kind with active cultures for the ultimate beauty benefits. Strain the mixture if it’s too runny.

2. Sunburn relief

Too much time spent basking in summer’s glow? Nourish your achy sunburn naturally with yogurt. The zinc in yogurt helps cool the harsh bite of a sunburn.

Add a few drops of soothing chamomile essential oil to about a handful of organic yogurt. Rub the calming concoction over your sunburned skin and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing it off.

3. Fight acne

Beware, pimples! Yogurt contains natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. To get rid of those nasty blotches, rub a dab of the creamy stuff into acne-prone areas. Let the yogurt work its zit-zapping magic and then rinse it off after 30 minutes.

A regular beauty regime with a yogurt facial mask will help keep skin cleansed, which will also reduce irritating breakouts.

4. Reduce discoloration

When used regularly, yogurt has mild bleaching powers that can smooth out discoloration. Reduce blotches and age spots associated with sunburn by rubbing a few tablespoons of yogurt mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice onto skin for 30 minutes, and then rinsing off the mixture. Repeat three times a week.

5. Prevent premature aging

You know they’re coming, but that doesn’t mean you can’t slow fine lines and wrinkles down a bit. Naturally, reduce fine lines and wrinkles from forming with an anti-aging yogurt face mask. The lactic acid in yogurt will help dissolve dead skin and tighten pores.

Add a tablespoon of olive oil to three to four tablespoons of yogurt. Apply the mixture to your face for about 30 minutes, three times a week.
