Have you ever wondered what it takes to rock the red carpet like a celebrity? Here are a few secrets attaining perfect skin, a radiant smile and flawless makeup right here in Bergen County.
To Tighten: To prevent any laxity in the face, including the jowls, cleavage, or back of the arms, a-listers go for treatments that use Radio Frequency Technology to produce immediate skin tightening and indulge in a little bit of Vitamin B Therapy, (and by that we mean Botox of course) to produce a smooth brow. Strategic placement of small volumes of various fillers that are carefully selected for a layering effect like Belotero and Juvéderm for example, produce the most natural result in filling wrinkles and lines, making celebs looking younger, fresher, more relaxed.
To Glow: Hydrating Facials that use Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides and growth factors like purified Placenta, combined with LED light therapy, calm the skin, rebalance and produce a luminous glow. Another celeb favorite is a facial that uses a mild electrical current directed at exercising the muscles of the face, whipping it into a firmer version of itself. Still others swear by a series of 2-3 Microdermabrasions a few weeks apart to refresh the skin pre-event.
To Sparkle: A bright and beautiful smile definitely enhances one’s youthful and vibrant appearance. “Two of the most frequently used procedures for enhancing a celeb’s smile are Bleaching and Dental Veneers.” says Dr. Janys Gelberg, a cosmetic dentist in Englewood, NJ. Bleaching is a quickfix and an effective way of improving the color of one’s teeth. This can be done in the doctor’s office in a single visit or with the use of take home kits that require several applications. For a more long lasting effect, others choose Porcelain Veneers. Dental veneers require treatment by an experienced cosmetic dentist and can be completed in two office visits.
To Seal the Deal: Celebs are also subject to flashing lights and long hours under the scrutiny of cameras during a red carpet event. One of the secrets of flawless looking makeup, says pro make up artist Karlene, is to mix. This offers coverage with a dewy fresh glow. Another trick is to spray a moisturizing mist, like MAC Fix Plus, all over the face to refresh and rehydrate the makeup, so it does not appear cakey and dry.
So the next time you are called to attend a red carpet event, or just want to look fabulous for a party, know that achieving that look of perfection is possible, affordable and within your reach.
