For those looking to get a little nip and tuck, being able to tighten and lift with as few signs of a procedure as possible is important.  There’s no question plastic surgery can improve a patient’s overall self-esteem and enhance body image, but when performed improperly, a would-be enhancement can become an unfortunate dead giveaway to having “work done.”  As many procedures can cost upwards of thousands of dollars, making sure you’re left with the most natural looking result is important.

A leader in plastic surgery, Dr. Peter Geldner, founder of The Geldner Center, Chicago’s premier practice for cosmetic, plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic procedures, notes that a key step to avoiding results that exhibit these blatant signs of plastic surgery is to only consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.  “It’s important for patients to do their research,” Dr. Geldner says. With a rise of cosmetic procedures offered in spas and salons and by non-licensed surgeons who do not specialize in the practice, patients may not know where to turn and wind up with results that are not as sleek, streamlined or “hidden” as they could be.

Lauren Conrad does bronze.

We all want a healthy and beautiful glow, but who really wants to change their sheets every time they apply a little self-tanner?

Highlighting your cheekbone with a lighter cream in a dewy texture–instead of a heavy bronzer–offers a multi-dimensional and effortless beach-bunny look to your face. Just take a look at how Lauren Conrad does it!

Achieve this easily with a creamy highlighter like Smashbox’s Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion. Apply it starting at the brow bone and work your way down in a “C” to the tops of the cheekbone for the most natural just-came-from-the-beach glow.

We also love Benefit’s Moon Beam. Opt for this in the summer over High Beam as it reflects the gold undertones of the skin. Temptu’s Retouch Highlighter is a great option for on-the-go, with a multipurpose built-in brush applicator.

A first timer looking for a more affordable option? Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips in Miami Strip not only offers fab highlight shades, but the five shades can be mixed and matched as blush and eyeshadow!

Give your cheeks some "POP!"

Add a dash of pepper, and spice up your look this summer! We caught up with Emma Bazan, Makeup Artist and Brow Extraordinaire at Pepper Pastor Salon to get her stay flawless all over tips.
