A Filipina with an unpronounceable name captivates with her unforgettable look and perfect figure.

The Philippines is the perfect place for model scouting. There are absolutely unique types here. For example, Charo Ronquillo. Unlike her compatriot Angelica Pangabian, who has very delicate facial features, Charo is her opposite. She is bold and strong.

India is famous beautiful actresses, but hardly anyone will remember the models from there. One of the few Sonia Daras to grace Sports Illustrated this year.

In her native Thailand, many people envy her. In addition to her very wealthy parents, nature gave her a stunning appearance, appreciated in the West.

Another example of successful friendship between Europe and Asia is Azura Vanderberg. Everything about her is beautiful: her unforgettable face and her ideal figure parameters.

Vietnamese model, who has contracts with the world's best modeling agencies: Storm, New York Model Management and L.A. Models. Her appearance allows her to transform into completely different images, from a society lady to a party girl.

What makeup suits Asian eyes, how to choose the ideal tone for “yellow” skin, and what beauty trends should moon-faced girls adopt? A professional makeup artist, stylist, and personal shopper ASIA knows the answers to all these questions. studio style Elena Shotkinova.

P.A.: Elena, first tell us about your experience in the field of beauty, please. How did your passion for the art of makeup begin?

E.Sh.: Since childhood, I love to draw, dress up, and design. I always drew inspiration from literature, painting, fashion magazines, cinema, traveling and communicating with people. All this still shapes my taste.

At first, I used my knowledge in the field of fashion and beauty to create my own image, and at a certain point, relatives and friends began to listen to me, seek advice, and ask my opinion regarding their appearance. It was they, my close people, satisfied with their own reflection in the mirror, who convinced me of the need to develop in this direction. And, in gratitude for the services rendered and the time devoted to them, they began to pay for my work. So the hobby logically grew into a professional activity.

I received a diploma as a makeup artist and opened ASIA studio style. We provide a range of professional services for make-up, style consultations, shopping support in Irkutsk, the Irkutsk region, and often work with clients from Ulan-Ude and Buryatia.

But even now my learning does not stop for a moment. Every day you learn something new, adopt other people’s experiences, and experiment. After all, a professional is an expert, he is always aware of all trends and new products, he is the first to learn and begin to apply new techniques. Of course, I follow the work of my colleagues, world-famous celebrity stylists and makeup artists, bloggers and major trendsetters. We live in the information age, when acquiring knowledge is not a problem, all you need is desire and inspiration.

And I am inspired by the surrounding beauty - the beauty of nature, objects, faces. Well-groomed, stylish, tastefully dressed people always attract my attention and often delight me.

P.A.: Many Moscow makeup artists admit that they do not know how to paint Asian eyes. What do you think is the most difficult thing about makeup for Asian girls?

E.A.: Indeed, many makeup artists fall into a stupor and do not understand how to paint a “flat” eye, devoid of an obvious fold of the upper eyelid, how to correct wide face, protruding cheekbones or our chubby cheeks.

They often use inappropriate textures of cosmetic products and choose the wrong intensity of pigments. In a word, they do not take into account the features of an Asian face, of which there are also several types. But for many Asians, they all look the same.

In this regard, everything is clear to me and my colleague (note: ASIA studio style makeup artist Irina Shotkinova), we ourselves are the owners of a bright Asian appearance and know first-hand all the nuances that may worry our girls. In addition, I myself have never been satisfied with the work of a “European” makeup artist, so I decided to become a professional myself.

E.Sh.: Let me start with the fact that if you have any problems with your skin, it is better to immediately contact a cosmetologist. No extra money? There are also free public clinics. The main thing is not to engage in amateur activities! As for make-up techniques, they are more international: 1) moisturize your skin, paying special attention;

lip skin 2) upon application foundation never don't distribute it in dots

all over the face for subsequent shading - in these places it has time to gain a foothold and you will eventually get spots; 3) I advise intensively draw the interciliary space

black or dark brown pencil. This will make your eyelashes appear thicker and your gaze deeper; 4) always curl your eyelashes

5) it is necessary to have two shades of foundation in your cosmetic bag: light and darker, in order to mix, choosing the color that suits you best suitable for skin depending on the time of year. Also, dark and light shade will allow correct the shape of the face, make it sculptural.

6) I recommend that you master techniques for oily and dry face correction by signing up for a makeup lesson with professionals! The makeup artist will introduce you to your own face and its proportions. Will teach you how to select cosmetical tools and master basic makeup techniques that suit you. (Such a service with the option of disassembling a cosmetic bag is presented in our ASIA studio style, its duration is 1.5 hours, the cost is 2000 rubles.)

“Any image will not be complete and harmonious without makeup. The “correct” make-up will always highlight your natural beauty and correct small imperfections. It is believed that girls and women who “don’t wear makeup” have too high an opinion of themselves!”

P.A.: What do you think are the most common makeup mistakes Asian women make? How NOT to apply makeup? Do you have any beauty taboos?

E.Sh.: For several seasons in a row, emphasis on eyebrows has been in fashion. I am glad that so much attention has been paid to this element of the face - eyebrows, along with tone, are indeed the most important point in makeup. But at the same time, they most often become the subject of ridicule. Unfortunately, very often our Asian beauties literally disfigure themselves with black, clear, intensely colored at the bridge of the nose, too short or too long, old-fashioned round or triangular graphic arts. Dear girls, please give up once and for all eyebrow tattoo and use grease pencil, even if your eyebrows are missing as a genre. Eyebrow tattooing is a taboo! Grow yours as long as possible and contact a professional makeup artist to create a fashionable, beautiful, naturally defined eyebrow line.

Work Asia Studio Style

It is often possible to observe incorrect application blush Girls either draw the shadow low, then the lower part of the face “floats” down. Or you can clearly apply blush along the cheekbone cavity, then the cheekbones become even more pronounced. Remember, blush is applied to the apples of the cheeks towards the temples!

And further - There is no such thing as brown blush!

You should also be careful with pearlescent textures. When thinking about adding shine, beware of another effect - swelling.

I would also like to note that our Asian girls often sin by wearing evening make-up. Dark to say the least smoky eyes and/or red lipstick doesn't look very appropriate at 8 am.

P.A.: How to choose the right foundation/BB cream for Asian skin? Do we really all have a predominant yellow undertone and therefore should we look for foundations with yellow pigments (and in no case with red)?

E.Sh.: Asians are a yellow race. Indeed, most people living in Asia have a dark, yellowish skin tone, especially those living in southern latitudes and areas with intense solar activity. But let's not forget that northern peoples, such as the Yakuts, Evenks, Western Buryats, etc. often have very fair skin with pink undertones or even uniformly snow-white skin of a cold shade.

The ideal tone should blend with your skin tone and match the color of the skin on your neck. Moreover, the color of the foundation always depends solely on the natural shade of your skin at a given time of year (darker in summer, lighter in winter).

Again, there is a neutral palette of colors: from the lightest to the darkest with beige pigment. Such products are suitable for everyone, including helping to neutralize both excessive yellowness and pink, reddish tones.

Each trademark tonal products are presented in a cool, warm and neutral palette. Designations of tones with the letters W, C, N mean: warm - warm, cold - cold, neutral - neutral.

P.A.: What makeup trends are there today that are perfect for Asian women?

E.Sh.: Our type of appearance is now in great demand in the global fashion industry. Asian models take part in the best shows of the season and set trends, inspiring us all!

In the spring-summer’15 season, ideal radiant skin devoid of imperfections is unrivaled, wide eyebrows, Nude makeup.

If you are the owner of sunny freckles, this season they do not need to be covered with thick corrective products, but even need to be emphasized.

For makeup asian eyes: feel free to draw graphic, jet-black arrows. The thickness can vary from thin for an office option to thick and curved, a sort of theatrical option.

Alternative - bright eyes, with unusual colored arrows along the upper or lower eyelid, or double arrows, when black is duplicated on top of color:

Or maybe someone will like it monochrome application of shadows on almost the entire eyelid, for example, yellow or bright blue.

March 18th, 2014

I have a new heroine.

Asian type of appearance and very interesting asymmetry. I won’t say much, because I already talked about a lot in the previous post.
I'll focus on the features.

Let's start, as usual, with the eyebrows

We have quite a slight asymmetry in height. It's the little things in life. The main feature of growth is round eyebrows. We must fight them. We look at the methods of fighting in detail here - (everything is in pictures here).
Basic provisions of the struggle
- we watch from below, we don’t pull too much
- we pull from above, but carefully. It’s important not to get lost in threads
- if we can, and if the shape requires it, we grow it at the base, so that without unnecessary bald patches
- where it does not grow initially - paint on it
- comb diagonally upward and fix with gel.

We remember and don’t forget - eyebrows should always be perfect!

_____________________________

Our nose is neat, but flat. which is typical for many noses in general. flattened part at the bridge of the nose. But Asian women are very lucky, they usually and most often have very neat ends

What we do

I drew two very easy solutions for daytime makeup. On the right is step by step 1 option using two concealers. This is a more accurate study. on the left it’s even simpler - a couple of strokes of the brush.

in any case, we will need a light concealer for the bridge of the nose. And in any case, we will need a highlighter. And what to choose as a dark tone - all markers have different tastes and colors. For daytime makeup, it's just a matter of personal preference and selected products.

Sculpting

I have already written in detail. The peculiarity of Asian faces is that compared to European ones they are considered flat. In particular, there are no pronounced cheekbones. They can be distinguished in a dark tone in the subzygomatic area (i.e. if you pull in your cheeks, work out this depression) BUT! We know that cheekbones are actually rare in Asian women. Therefore, such elaboration may look too pretentious in daytime makeup.
no, if you want, please always. But personal choice as usual.
Of course, we highlight the cheeks with blush, and the cheekbone area near the eyes with highlighter.
and for my taste, such sculpting on the cheeks and cheekbones is a necessary and sufficient minimum.

Additionally, we will sculpt the nose, as described above.
Well, that's probably all.

______________________________

perfect!

seriously perfect lips

Well, maybe there’s just a little bit of contour missing at the bottom - but there’s nothing else to complain about. They are almost equal in width, there is no asymmetry of the left side relative to the right, there are no insidious ducks on the sides. The only negative is that they are dry. The balm will help us.

__________________________________

Interesting eyes. Asymmetrical

I drew it and signed it just to show it off.

Asymmetry in the lower eyelid.

I first found out from my heroine what she thought about this, she told me directly - what can be done about it?

I answer. We are not surgeons, we are not surgeons. In my opinion, it’s an absolutely charming feature of the face. Makeup can slightly correct the visual perception.

here we remember the recent post

And also that eyeliner on the mucous membrane visually narrows the eyes. A line along the lower eyelid along the eyelash line visually opens the eyes. And it is very advisable to use all this together with eyeliner on the lower eyelid, so that lonely lines do not look lonely and too bright.

So, I can’t show you how to work with the lower eyelid, but easy correction using two lines is possible

Be sure to try where to draw which line so as not to increase visual asymmetry. And it is very advisable to add detailing to the lower eyelid so that these lonely eyeliners do not look aggressive.

the rest of the eyes in the post are of the Asian type -

what's left?

main participant in makeup. Firstly, according to direct statements, she is fat and can even be very fat. Secondly, with rashes.

The rashes that we take into account in makeup have a color and are visually indicated by bumpiness. It happens that a slight pimple pops up, turns red, we “smear it” with green to match the tone and don’t pay attention. And sometimes there is a bump or, on the contrary, a hole.

It is clear that first of all it makes sense to look at the planes in the direction of treatment. Makeup is not a disguise! although it can help, it is not for disguise! The main task for inflammation and rashes is to get treatment. It is important!

What can we do with makeup? work with color and light.

option 1, light redness, green corrector

corrector or corrector-concealer, or even concealer, if inflammation occurs infrequently for you and you don’t see the point in buying a separate stick, but then PMS and damn. Green concealer may help. Apply it UNDER the foundation.

option 2, light redness, foundation

inflammation happens once every five years and you don’t wear colored concealers, but here you have PMS and damn it. We apply the usual foundation in the usual way, and then on top, pointwise, more densely on the redness itself. It is necessary to shade the boundaries. If your tone is completely invisible and evens out, try a concealer, but it will be more noticeable.

lyrical digression. Options 1 and 2 are only suitable for small pimples. If there are abscess heads or the subcutaneous area on half the cheek, and everything is still in the stage of inflammation, the more you apply to it, the more noticeable it will be. This is not hidden by makeup. Apply a round patch - it will be simply more hygienic for the pimple and for those around you. Think of any other distracting maneuver - it’s not worth tormenting a poor, sick pimple with cosmetics.
___________________________________

option 3. Problem skin.

I repeat, these are primarily questions of a dermatologist-cosmetologist and only secondarily - questions of makeup.
with strong “lumpyness” the skin cannot be completely smoothed out.

what to use?
- green corrector (precisely a corrector, stick or liquid), often they contain healing or anti-inflammatory extracts. Concealer is used UNDER foundation
- choose a foundation without pink undertones, because pink can increase redness
- actively look towards reflective particles in foundation or powder. Reflectors, as the name suggests, reflect light. Distributed in a thin layer over the skin or its individual parts, they create the illusion of mmm... I don’t know how to explain clearly - the illusion of a sphere, i.e. make the skin visually more even and smooth
- under the foundation we use a leveling base to match the tone. In cases of large skin unevenness, a base to match the tone is a lifesaver.
- we are actively studying Asian, they make wonderful BB creams, real ones that were invented just for patients after interventions, to even out and heal. Nashinsky in Russia Garnier, L'Oreal, Maybelline do not make BB cream in the true sense.

__________________________
another lyrical digression. There is such a thing as one-time makeup. Those. If you have to do makeup before the set - we do it, we understand the pros and cons of specific one-time products. We intelligently place emphasis on what is worth using and what is not. And there is such a type of skin - problematic. Or seasonal exacerbations that do not end within a day. And you have to live with these rashes, redness, and inflammation for a long time. Not just one time.
So I can do one-time makeup. I know some of the features that we discussed with the owners problem skin, which “I tried” remotely. I told about them. At the same time, I fully admit that real owners of problem skin may criticize me. Criticize without getting personal, please. I won't be offended at all. I myself do not do daily make-up for problem skin. The maximum that happens is options 1 and 2. Option 3 is rather something that is observed, inferred, and stems from knowledge of the textures and properties of specific products.

____________________________

So we’ve more or less sorted out the rashes, what to do with the fat content?

First of all, I’ll dispel the myth “I have oily skin, so I can’t use foundation.” further it may sound - “my skin takes revenge on me with acne. The continuation may be - the foundation clogs the pores, but I already have them...

so this is a mistake, because... abstract foundation is very friendly with abstract oily skin. Those. Having oily skin is not an obstacle to use foundation.

Firstly, you need to carefully approach the choice of foundation. Despite the characteristics of oily skin and the presence of wide pores, Verna cream should not be particularly thick, and by the way, it should be applied in a thin layer, not with a spatula at all. The cream should have the maximum mattifying effect. The cream must be long-lasting, because even the presence of fat-regulating components does not relieve the skin of vital activity. Persistent in this case means - to stay on the face right time. It may well be that 7 sweats will not leave you, and especially in terms of durability, you don’t need to select anything.

practical advice. You need to poke around among beauty bloggers with oily skin and take a close look at their experiences. And although everything is very individual, it would be a sin not to take advantage of other people’s experience before giving away your hard-earned money.

secondly, close attention should be paid to removing makeup and cleansing the skin in general. Using additional sponges, daily scrubs (see directions on the package), additional cleansing masks.

thirdly, we pay close attention to the instrument. This is especially important for oily and problem skin. If you use a brush, wash it regularly. Use sponges - change them regularly. If you use your fingers, wash your hands thoroughly before applying makeup.

________________________________________ ___

let's figure out the sequence of actions and cosmetics

1. We carefully approach the choice of foundation and powder
2. deciding on concealers for breakouts
3. For eyebrows we use fixative gel and a comb. Eyebrow pencil or shadow, of course, won’t hurt.
4. for the eyes, we learn how to apply eyeliner along the mucous membrane and under the lash line, and we also learn how to do eyeliner on the lower eyelid along with full eye makeup (it’s good to start trying smokey eyes in brown). Accordingly, you will need a leash, shadows, mascara
5. to sculpt the nose - concealer of two colors or concealer and bronzer
6. blush on the cheeks
7. Apply lipstick to your lips. Without mother of pearl. But when dealing with rashes, it is worth keeping in mind that the “red lipstick” format will increase redness. visually
8. highlighter.

________________________________________ ___

I also really want to touch on the topic of hairstyles.
It seems to me that the Asian hair type is the dream of European women - thick, straight, heavy. I don’t know about everyone else, but this is definitely my dream, because I have thin, wavy and liquid hair)))

however, for example, my heroine described her hair as “straight, like sticks and completely out of style.” Yes, that's true too. BUT! These are as straight as sticks - this is the scope for haircuts with straight hair.

Let's say I choose this shape for myself with my thin, wavy and liquid hair?

in principle, I can choose, but in order to maintain my liquid-wavy hair so evenly and beautifully, I will need to become familiar with a flat iron, buy a heat protectant, and preferably some kind of product that, even in humidity, will keep my hair straight and beautiful hold.
on the other hand, if the hair is initially “straight as sticks and doesn’t fit at all” - there’s no need to style it that way. They need to be given shape. and they themselves will fit into this form. because they are straight, like sticks, so straight by themselves, without ironing, and in any humidity. And if you cut heavy hair, it will become lighter and begin to rise a little at the roots.

If we talk about specific shapes for my heroine, she has a round face. It is advisable to visually narrow it a little and it is very desirable to use asymmetry in any form. Asymmetrical bangs, asymmetrical length, asymmetrical parting.

By the way, my beautiful heroine got her hair cut while I was gathering my thoughts to write a post about her.
What time now!

ps. without makeup.

We all know that there are strict limits in the modeling business. Namely, a number of requirements for the appearance of the model. Not so long ago, it was rare to see a dark-skinned girl or an Asian woman on the catwalk, but standards are changing, and unusual appearance is becoming the main advantage of a model.

Lately, we can increasingly see girls from Korea, Japan, China on the catwalk or on the cover of Vogue, I suggest getting acquainted with the most popular models from Asian countries.

I want to start with a famous model and actress Devon Aoki . Although Devon is American, her exotic appearance immediately reveals her Japanese roots. Devon is considered one of the most popular models of the 90s, despite the fact that the girl’s height is only 165 cm.

Devon has taken the fashion world by storm with her serious, freckled face and strong personality.

Devon's first photo shoot was for an advertising campaign. Calvin Klein. The girl came to the shoot with huge false eyelashes and yellow eyebrows and forbade the stylists to change anything in her makeup. Devon later became the face of Calvin Klein, and her photographs began to appear on the covers of Vogue, Numero, Russh and other fashion magazines.

Now Devon can be seen more often in films. The most striking film work of the Asian beauty can be considered the role of the silent killer Miho in the film “Sin City”.

Chinese beauty Liu Wen has transformed from a simple guide into one of the most sought-after models of our time. Liu represented Estee Lauder cosmetics and became the first Asian woman to take part in the Victoria's Secret show. Liu's personal record is 70 shows in one season.

Liu Wen's face graced the covers of Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Numero, Elle and others.

Shu Pei Qin - another top model from China. The debut show for the girl was the spring collection of Rachel Roy.

In the modeling business, Shu Pei Kin has achieved considerable success in 5 years. The girl is a representative of the Maybelline cosmetics brand. Her photographs were published in the Maybelline 2012 calendar. Shu Pei Kin also boasts a contract with the Hogan brand, Vera Wang and participation in advertising the collection of Karl Lagerfeld.

Japanese model Tao Okamoto in 2006 she signed a contract with the Elite agency and in the same year she made her debut at two shows by Emanuel Ungaro and Martin Grant. IN next year Tao's exotic beauty attracted the Moschino brand.

Among the others Asian models Tao stands out for his short haircut and unisex style.

Recently, the word “Asian plastic surgery” has come into use among plastic surgeons, which means a complex of aesthetic operations aimed at Europeanizing appearance. Before we begin to analyze the faces of Asians and the plastic surgeries that are performed on them, let us outline the geographical scope. In the context of this article, by the word “Asian” we will talk about representatives of East Asia.

Valery Staysupov - plastic surgeon, leading specialist in facial rejuvenation and beauty

The characteristics of the Asian face differ from the Caucasian one, which gives rise to special surgical approaches during aesthetic surgery. In this regard great attention Specialists focus on the eyelids, nose and midface.

Peculiarities of perception

To achieve an optimal aesthetic result, it is important for the specialist to take into account not only anatomical factors, but also the cultural characteristics of Asian patients. The last point is of great importance at the stage of contact formation. East Asians have been cultivating reverence and respect for leaders since childhood.

Plastic surgeons are also usually classified as “managerial”, and their behavior with them is regulated. If an Asian patient is silent during a discussion of the upcoming operation, this does not mean that he understands everything and agrees with everything. According to Asian psychology, asking a lot of questions is akin to showing disrespect, so for a plastic surgeon, the consultation is held under the slogan “I speak.”

But if it happens that the results of plastic surgery did not satisfy the Asian patient, the emotional color of the indignation may seem very, very vivid to you, not to mention an inadequate behavioral reaction, fraught with consequences for the surgeon himself.

Understanding Beauty

For Asian women, physical beauty is of great importance. The main concern of women is to take care of their appearance and always be a source of pride for their husband, family and others. The belief that exists among Asian peoples is very indicative: if a wife has lost her attractiveness, then her husband has every right to look for a source of inspiration in another woman.

Please don't look in the mirror because you will definitely be disappointed!

In the Asian environment, the cult of family is highly developed. Patients who seek the services of plastic surgeons often experience a feeling of guilt. To correct something in your appearance means to disrespect your parents, because the main features were inherited from them. Feelings of guilt over plastic surgery can result in a desire to avoid family members. Such self-isolation deprives the patient of emotional support, so necessary during the period of postoperative rehabilitation. The plastic surgeon must take this into account.

Eastern art is distinguished by precision - it is characterized by symmetry, harmony, and attention to detail. This feature has also manifested itself in the perception of beauty, so patients often have an unjustified fear of postoperative asymmetry. The plastic surgeon must show patience and understanding to this category of patients. One famous Vietnamese surgeon warned his patients: “Please do not look in the mirror, because you will certainly be disappointed.”

Asian eyelid surgery

Asian eyelid surgery is similar to eyelid correction for other ethnic groups; however, there are a number of anatomical and technical aspects that must be taken into account to achieve maximum results. It would be a mistake to believe that the desire for eyelid surgery in Asian patients is dictated solely by Western influence. Specific part men and women are being asked by surgeons to make their eyelids look more natural while still maintaining ethnic features.

Europeanization of the eyelids is aimed at reducing the characteristic swelling of Asian eyelids by excision of excess skin and fat, as well as correction of the epicanthus. Asian eyelids are characterized by a large volume of periorbital tissue. Asians have thicker skin than Europeans, so, by the way, they have much fewer expression lines.

Given this anatomical feature, plastic surgeons tend to perform transconjunctival blepharoplasty in the lower eyelid area. The frequency of dissatisfaction on the part of patients in such cases is explained by the fact that they see their problem precisely in excess skin, therefore it is fundamentally important for a specialist to clarify all these points at the consultation stage.

Augmentation rhinoplasty for Asians

Recently, due to the trend of Europeanization of appearance, augmentation rhinoplasty has also become popular. This is despite the fact that a high, thin bridge of the nose has always been an aesthetically desirable feature for faces Asian type.

We have already said that Asian patients tend to rely on the taste of the surgeon and blindly follow his recommendations. And this often leads to conflicts over the final result. Therefore, all the details of the upcoming operation (what should be changed and how) need to be discussed during the consultation. The key issues on which mutual understanding must be reached are:

1. What should the tip of the nose be: narrow or relatively wide?
2. What should the nose profile be: straight or slightly convex?
3. What should the nasion be: wide or narrow?

The success of augmentation rhinoplasty depends directly on knowledge of anatomical variations, a thorough understanding of the aesthetics of the Asian nose, consideration of social and cultural aspects, and careful preoperative planning.

Facial plastic surgery for Asians

The goals of rejuvenation in Asian and European patients are the same, however, anatomical differences and features of aging in Asians require the development of special surgical procedures to achieve these goals. What are the main differences?

The first difference is the skin. In Asians, it is denser and is most prone to fibroblastization during wound healing. Cases of hypertrophic scar formation are not uncommon during anti-aging surgeries.

The second difference is fat. As an Asian face ages, it tends to accumulate more fat than a Caucasian face. Localization of fat is observed in the area of ​​the lateral surfaces of the lower jaw, in the area of ​​the nasolabial elevations and lateral sections of the cheeks.

And finally, the third difference is the skeletal structure. The Asian face is characterized by pronounced zygomatic elevation and depression in the middle part of the face. Often the corners of the lower jaw are prominent, which gives the face a “square” appearance.

Preoperative planning depends on the goals set - rejuvenation and/or Europeanization. And, most importantly, the ends must justify the means!
