This month is all about classic beauties and achieving their signature facial features that we all envy. The iconic beauties I chose are the epitome of charisma, charm and class but they were not perfect and this is exactly what made their beauty so intriguing and so striking. From Liz Taylor’s gorgeous eyes to Audrey Hepburn’s high cheekbones, I will reveal how you too, can attain long term chic and sophistication, using simple aesthetic procedures.

Liz Taylor was famous for her magnificent almond shaped eyes, framed by long, full and super dark DOUBLE eyelashes. Yes, you read well, Liz Taylor had an extra row of eyelashes, a condition known as distichiasis and resulting from a genetic mutation of the FOXC2 gene. Nonetheless, her eyes were breath-taking and gave her this glamorous and unforgettable stare.

Are your lashes thinning? Looking a little sparse? Or do you simply want to give your eyes more oomph? At Medi-Sculpt we stock the Eyelash Grower which is a clear liquid that you brush on your upper lash line once a day. Its key ingredient is the Bimatoprost which strengthens your lashes and in doing so, makes them thicker, longer, darker and fuller. In only 2 weeks! No more false lashes or numerous coats of mascara! Classic beauties are all about subtlety! Try the Eyelash Grower and wow everyone with your new amazing gaze.

Brigitte Bardot, one of the best known sex symbols of the 1950’s and 60’s was made famous by her iconic and effortless French beauty: big wavy hair, smudgy liner and nude lipstick were her three secret weapons when it came to looking her best. But truly, the feature that made her so dazzling was her full and sexy pout. Plump, well sculpted lips are one of the most attractive facial features.

For a little enhancement that goes a long way, lipsculpting is your best bet! Lipsculpting is a treatment available at Medi-Sculpt that involves one or more combination of procedures to add volume and restore the youthful curves of thin lips. To add more volume and softness, I inject collagen under the skin of the lip. Additionally, I may decide to inject medium-density hyaluronic acid, such as Restylane, into the lip muscle to add support to the structure of the mouth, and enhance the shape and definition of your lips. Is lipsculpting something you would consider? The results are always very natural and elegant yet add a little “je ne sais quoi” to the entire face!

Well sculpted faces with strong and defined features are always eye-catching. In particular, high cheekbones tend to pull the face upward, giving it more dynamism and youth don’t you agree?

Audrey Hepburn was incredibly pretty and her face was magnificent in every aspect but her high cheekbones gave it dimension and balance. They were definitely her strong point!

We are not all born with naturally pronounced and perfectly shaped cheekbones. Also, as we age, the cheeks can lose volume and make you look very tired and unhealthy. At Medi-Sculpt, we offer cheek augmentation which recreates the youthful ‘apple’ in your cheeks, providing sculpted, gentle curves to your profile. It can also be used to create cheekbones – even if you’ve never had them before!

The liquid facelift (which combines Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers injections) is also available at Medi-Sculpt. It is a quick rejuvenating boost that remains subtle and natural for many months and that will give your face more symmetry and will accentuate your best features.

Nothing makes a face more harmonious and symmetrical than a beautiful, straight nose. Grace Kelly’s nose was narrow and slightly up-turned, with the most gracious lines and contours that gave off some kind of aristocratic appeal. It also perfectly suited the rest of her features which were equally elegant and in proportion. Grace

Kelly’s minimalist chic and timeless sophistication, made one of the most classic beauties of all time.

When it comes to nose aesthetics, opinions differ greatly: In a recently conducted study, the most perfect famous noses were said to belong to Jessica Biel, the Dutchess of Cambridge, Kate Beckinsale and Scarlett Johansson, whose noses all turn up at precisely 106 degrees.

If you are unhappy with the way your nose looks, you do not necessarily have to go the rhinoplasty surgery route. Of course, depending on your nose’s characteristics and what you want to achieve, going under the knife may be your only option, but did you know that I offer non-surgical nose reshaping at Medi-Sculpt? A non-surgical nose job is a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty – providing excellent cosmetic results with little or no pain and recovery time. It is also commonly called the “15-minute nose job” because it only involves a few Restylane injections in the problem areas and does not require anaesthesia.

However, I always warn my patients that unlike traditional, surgical nose jobs, non-surgical rhinoplasty does not actually alter the structure of the nose itself. Just as fillers are used to plump out wrinkles, they can fill out areas of the nose to correct minor kinks.

I hope that you enjoyed this article. What is your take on classic beauty? Is there anyone in particular who you think is pretty/handsome? The beauty around us always makes for great inspiration but do not forget to love yourself and make the most out of the unique and gorgeous features you were given!
