In this episode, it was quite obvious that the producers saved the best for last. I was totally blown away by how severe acne scars could be covered up to resemble flawless skin! :D If you missed the episode but are reading this now, lucky you!
Dexter and Xiao Kai help the 5 ladies with their woes: wrinkles and yellowish skin tone, too-high foreheads, dark eye circles, square-shaped face and harsh jawline and finally, bad acne scars.
Xiao Kai made an interesting statement – that women with oilier skin tend to develop fewer wrinkles! People with dry skin get more fine lines and wrinkles than those with oily skin! (Also, Xiao Kai had a sideburn transplant *gasp*)
Wrinkles and Yellowish Skin
Tip #1: Add color correcting cream to your makeup products
Tip #2: Use a moisture-rich foundation
Tip #3: The less makeup you use, the better. Too much foundation will make you look old
Tip #4: No concealer is needed. Just ensure you use the right shade of CC cream and foundation
Tip #5: Use an orange-colored blush for a healthy glow
Tip #6: Skip the loose powder as your skin is already too dry especially around the eyes
Too-High Forehead
Tip #1: If you have bangs, and oily hair, bring powder with u. Using a tissue, pat some powder onto your bangs so it’ll absorb the oil
Tip #2: Avoid buying hair pieces which are too shiny – they look fake
Tip #3: Use hairspray to ‘harden’ the roots of your hair then use a hairdryer set to cold air or medium heat for a quick blowdry, then attach the hair piece
Dark Eye Circles
Tip #1: Use concealer in a color close to your skin tone and start at the tear trough area (pictured above)
Tip #2: Use only a tiny bit of concealer towards the end of your eye, so it doesn’t appear unusually white. Spread it out and blend with your foundation
Tip #3: Gently tap on the loose powder so you don’t rub the concealer off
Tip #4: Add (mousse) blush as a distraction from your dark eye circles
Square Face, Strong Jawline and Protruding Ears
Tip #1: Use the L’Oreal Professional Steampod to straighten and moisturize your hair
Severe Acne Scars
Tip #1: Use a pore minimizing primer (gel) and mix it with foundation or concealer. Gently pat it on
Tip #2: Use a concealer brush when applying concealer over the pimple
Tip #3: Pat gently to fill your pores with powder, especially if you have ‘potholed’ skin like Constance’s
