The world of beauty is a fascinating study, and we are living in good times. Today, we can push the idea of plastic surgery farther down the road, and instead, take advantage of new technology, techniques and treatments to maintain an attractive, youthful edge.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow once said, “Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”
She’s right on both points, and when it comes to beauty game changers, some of the simplest and most effective ones are fast, affordable and red carpet-worthy:
1. Sun-Kissed Skin. Ask most people, and they’ll admit that a gorgeous tan just feels good and looks amazing at any age. By now, we’ve all been educated about laying out in the sun all day and how it’s unhealthy for the skin.
Airbrush tanning, however, is a brilliant, bronzy option that delivers a natural, streak-free, flawless result that’s safe, long-lasting and sexy.
You don’t have to do anything but stand there and allow a skilled airbrush tanning specialist to perform their magic.
A seamless, golden tan makes your skin come alive.
2. Ideal Manicure. Let’s be honest. Whoever invented press-on nails was a genius because the look has become a part of pop culture. Not all of us have the time and money to sit at a salon every two weeks for a traditional manicure.
You can still show off glamorous talons using press-on nails. The technique and materials have come a long way, and even superstar Jennifer Lopez is obsessed with press-on nails. Her celebrity nail artist, Tom Bachik, creates her fabulous manicure by decorating the nails prior to gluing them to the nail beds.
The result is a beautiful, bedazzled manicure shown off on Instagram.
3. Lush, Long Locks. Most of us do not have perfect hair, and it’s really alright to admit it, ladies. That’s why clip in hair extensions were invented, right?
Today, clip in hair extensions have become a fashion accessory if you will. You can achieve length, volume, shine and texture all instantly, and it couldn’t be simpler or more damage-free to attain.
Human hair or synthetic, clip in hair extensions can dramatically elevate your appearance. When you’re done wearing them, the extensions are quick and easy to remove before showering or going to bed.
4. Unforgettable Eyes. People remember your eyes, and they’re the feature that women and men notice right away. Today, it’s fun to play around with your look, and colored contacts give you the freedom and creative edge to expand and enhance your beauty game.
Kim Kardashian West became all the buzz when she appeared at the 2018 MET Gala wearing colored contacts that almost made her look unrecognizable. She was swathed in a figure-hugging, golden Versace gown, and her eyes were stunning in cat-eye makeup.
As cameras zoomed in on the reality TV star’s face, there was something different about her. Kim told the media that she chose to wear honey-colored contacts. She says that the contacts were just a few shades lighter than her dark brown natural eye color, but the honey-colored contacts really allowed her eyes to pop.
5. Ageless Complexion. When it comes to elevating your appearance in all these wonderful non-surgical ways, you want to ensure that your skin is in its best condition. Your complexion can keep its radiant and youthful glow with the proper routine. One way to maintain this agelessness is through prescription Retin-A.
Most plastic surgeons and dermatologists alike agree that Retin-A cream applied nightly a few times a week is the most effective skin care treatment available. It’s affordable, easy to apply as a topical and can help fade wrinkles, sun spots, improve skin texture and skin laxity.
Retin-A has been studied for decades, and the research proves it’s the gold standard for skin care.
Retinol, a less potent cousin to Retin-A, can be purchased over the counter and also produce a great-looking complexion.
Whether it’s airbrush tanning, clip in extensions, colored contacts, press-on nails or any other quick beauty fix, these are safe, modern beauty game changers.
