Gone are the days when natural beauty was valued above all else, now being a famous person and having some kind of flaws in appearance seems simply unthinkable for most. Moreover, the incredible popularity of numerous reality shows has set its own trend for the so-called "star face" - the standard of beauty of girls for filming on television: you need to look not just good, but fit into the imposed standards, only then, in the opinion of a fairly large number of people, there is a chance to succeed or keep it in your hands.

Of course, it is not shameful to use plastic surgery and the services of cosmetologists, the only question is when it is worth stopping in your thirst to change your appearance. According to experts from Britain, there are only five conditions, the fulfillment of which leads a girl to the fact that she acquires a "star face," regardless of her initial data, and which ultimately makes her, albeit (possibly) more attractive, but at the same time completely deprives her of her external individuality.

According to Dr. Ross Perry, co-founder of the UK Plastic Surgery Group, all these "clones" on television with their invariable "star face" have only five factors: - pouty lips - forehead without wrinkles - shining skin - strong makeup - accentuated eyebrows.

"The first thing that catches your eye is the greatly enlarged lips, which look exactly the same on all girls," says another of the British plastic surgeons, Dr. Dan. which is what this unnatural look appears."

Being natural, most often the upper lip is smaller in width than the lower one. Cosmetic procedures today offer the opportunity to get rid of this "imbalance" with filler injections that need to be done regularly enough to keep fit.

The next condition for acquiring a "star face" is Botox injections into the forehead and temples, in order to completely get rid of any, even mimic, wrinkles. In fact, Botox immobilizes muscles and paralyzes nerve endings to the places where it was injected, so the payment for such injections (in addition to money) is the complete inability to move these areas of the skin: the forehead and the area around the eyes become almost waxy, but at the same time, of course look much younger.

“It's almost impossible to figure out how old they are from the photos of the stars because of Botox injections - their faces lose those features that are acquired with age,” says Dr. Dan, and his colleague Dr. Ross adds that in addition to cosmetic changes, the age of media people is also great. hidden with aggressive makeup: to highlight the eyes, eyebrows, lips and cheekbones - all at the same time.

“There are, of course, a lot of such changes,” says Dr. Ross. “To look like everyone else, like a clone of each other, girls spend such fortunes that, in principle, this money could buy themselves real estate.”
