Follow along with me if you want to learn a technique to achieve a faux facelift with makeup.


I’ll show you the do’s alongside the don’ts in this quick tutorial. Although, please note, you should always do your makeup in whatever way feels best for you! These tips are just recommendations.


Let's get started.

Putting on blush has never been this easy! Find out why this blush stick is so popular among Amazon reviewers and TikTok!


Tools and materials:

Applying bronzer

1. DO apply bronzer at an upward angle

Make sure to apply your bronzer so that it starts from the cheeks and sweeps upward toward your temples. The curve and height are key here for a lifted look.


DON’T draw a line toward your ear.


2. DO apply highlighter sparingly in strategic places

Apply your highlighter on either side in a small triangle under the inner corner of the eye, under the outer corner, beside your lip and above the arch of your brow.


DON’T mask the entire section under your eye. 

Applying highlighter

3. DO apply blush at the upper jawline

Apply your blush just at the top of your jawline, between the highlighter and bronzer.


DON’T apply it on the apples of your cheeks in a circle as this will plump out your cheeks.

Then make sure to blend everything for a flawless finish!


You can see the difference between the sides of my face: my left side looks lifted while my right side looks plumper.

    Not bad ideas. However if you’re touting something like a “facelift “ you’d do better to have an older model, someone who might actually be considering a facelift rather than yourself, a lovely, very young woman whose only knowledge of wrinkles are those on her linen clothes. But your tips are good.

    A facelift for someone with not a trace of a smile line or crow's feet lines near the eyes?

    Dear girl, I am in my mid-seventies and while I have always looked 10 years, or more, younger than my true age, I am only now starting to seriously consider cosmetic procedures. Your tips are great for a big evening out but . . .

    that much makeup will not work for those of us that are really active with bicycling, kayaking, hiking, gardening being a regular part of our routine. So, my advice to all you darling young women;

    relax & enjoy your natural beauty & velvety skin. True beauty comes from good, healthy food, regular & enjoyable activity, & good relationships.
