The newest and most radical approach for this procedure is called Trans-Umbilical breast augmentation. This technique provides a virtually unnoticeable scar along with fewer complications. The incision for this procedure is made around belly button and a small fiber optic camera is inserted into body cavity. Using camera, surgeon creates a tunnel up to breast and inserts and empty implant which will later be pumped full of saline solution. The benefits of this procedure are that there is less nerve damage, less scaring and a quicker recovery time.

Having chosen right foundation for your skin colour and type, next thing to get to grips with is its application. The most important thing in foundation application is blending. It is essential to blend formula into skin properly. Use a cosmetic sponge or a blending brush to do this. Using a blending brush to apply foundation takes a longer time and requires patience but you use less of (expensive!) foundation when you use a brush than when you use a sponge. Besides, it is easier to reach awkward areas with brushes and they are easier to keep clean. Using your fingers to apply foundation is not a good idea unless you want to achieve a particular ‘look’ because application usually ends up uneven and messy.

For greater coverage, dip sponge or brush into foundation and make a few dots across forehead, down nose, on cheeks and a dot on chin. It is best to work on small areas at a time, so blend foundation across forehead first, then down nose, on both cheeks, on chin and pat what is left on sponge or brush onto eyelids. For lighter coverage, apply foundation only onto blemishes and blend properly. Always blend foundation into skin using short, downward strokes. This makes large pores look smaller and encourages fine hairs on face to lie flat giving impression of a smoother, clearer complexion. Finally, ‘set’ foundation with translucent powder. This makes foundation stay on skin for longer.
