Make yourself over

No lypo, just plain old reason

The easiest way to completely change the way you look is to splash money on plastic surgery. Perfect your nose, opt for some botox, get your buttocks, tummy and thighs lyposucked, put some silicone into your breasts and after 6 months (of surgery, narcosis, pain and stitches) you're as good as new. Only breast implants will cost you around $6 000, so you can calculate the rest of the cost accordingly.

But, dramatic change to better your looks does not have to involve scalpels or credit lines. You can do much with so much less, so here it goes:

Skin
Be consistent with your skin care routine. This will perfect your skin and make it a great surface to work on. When you apply moisturiser always massage your face to help lymph and blood flow. Use a special cream for the eye area, and consider using moisturisers with lift effect (especially combined with antioxidants). Micro abrasion can be your friend too, as long as you don't overdo it. There are some great products out there, prices starting at $5.
Don't forget to keep your brows under control, they can really lift your look.

Make up
Hide blemishes and all other imperfections (there's a tutorial under hide).
Be careful with base. The more foundation and powder you put on the older you look. This is because those products have a tendency to sink in after hours of wearing, so a better thing to do is to choose from a range of new, all in one foundations, that smear like a cream but have a powdery finish.
Use natural colours for lids and lips, emphasise your lashes and always use lash curler.

Body
Yes, you have to exercise. Work on your problem areas at least 15 minutes every day. You can do sit-ups and firm your arms and breast area by lifting water bottles. A big help can be applying skin firmer lotions, such as Dove and Vichy produce. They refine the skin and make cellulite less visible.
Bronzers and self-taning lotions hide cellulite too. It takes a bit to perfect the applying skill, but it's worth it. Also, self tanners make you look slimmer, no wonder they are the hit of this season.

Hair
Choose a classic, sexy hairstyle that suits you perfectly, and don't get fooled with the trends. It takes money to have asymmetric bangs or healthy long hair, so cut your hair to the shoulders. Have it layered to achieve additional volume and consider getting a light modern perm that will keep your hair looking great for three or four months in a row.If you dye your hair, don't go more than two shades lighter than your natural hair colour. Always choose warmer tones of hair colour that make your face appear softer and younger.
