The perfect white smiles of Hollywood entertainers are often done at a great price literately and physically with the Cosmetic Dentistry application of porcelain veneers and caps. The initial expense and time does not stop at the first application of this new smile, but often continues to require further money and time to upkeep. I found Cosmetic Dentist play this fact down as they concentrate more on seducing you with exciting before and after pictures of their patients and telling you about the latest non-pain procedurs and dental supplies.
Here are a few things I’ve found one needs to be fully mindful of upon jumping into the decision with veneer application. The cost per porcelain veneer will be $750 - $1,200 a tooth. A dentist will often suggest veneering the front upper teeth usually to the eyetooth on both sides, which is 6 teeth and this will run $4500 - $12,600. The quality of the porcelain and the craftsmanship in making the veneers is very important and the work should be scrutinized and viewed before hand. The better quality the porcelain materials and the making of it will result in more realistic looking veneers; this will coincide in a higher price. The dentist will grind down your front upper teeth into unsightly stubs and then apply the veneers like false fingernails; there will be no looking back at this point, as your real teeth will be destroyed. You will need to ‘baby’ these veneers and not bite into anything hard like an apple, instead you’ll need to cut harder foods into small pieces, if you don’t the veneers are prone to fall out exposing the unsightly teeth beneath.
Ask your dentist if you can speak to past patients who’ve had their veneers for 5 – 10 years. During my first two years almost all my veneers fell out and needed to be re-glued. I had moved out of the city in which the procedure was first performed so another Cosmetic Dentist charged a reinsertion fee of $100 a tooth. By the third year all of my veneers had either cracked and fell out or simply fell out again. The cracked veneers had to be thrown out and new ones remade at the high expense mentioned, other cracked ones were glued back together, but the cracks remained, weakening the veneers and within a year one by one again they fell out. Also if you grind your teeth like I do, it is highly recommended that you wear a night-guard that can be worn while sleeping to protect the veneers, but be aware that many find this uncomfortable to wear. At the time of obtaining my new veneers I also replaced my molars that contained silver fillings with porcelain caps. The financial investment to cosmetically enhance my teeth and smile thus far could have bought me a car or perhaps even a down payment on a small home.
Natural make up
Being a model I have to go to many castings and look natural yet flawless. Unfortunately even the best skin will start to break out and suffer after all the different make up changes that models have to go through on regular basis. This is why it is essential to be able to apply make up that covers up all the imperfections, yet looks very natural.
Below are my tips of keeping beautiful yet natural:
1. Always cleanse your skin before applying make up. I recommend washing your face with Lancome Pearly Foam following by Lancome toner.
2. Use a moisturiser before applying make up as it will help your make up stay in place for longer. I use Lancome Eye Cream and Chanel Hydromax Day Cream.
3. If you have any breakouts, I would highly recommend applying some pure witch hazel gel all over the face. You can buy it from any chemist and it will help heal your skin under the make up. I normally wait until the gel dries on my skin before applying the make up.
4. Start by applying concealer to any blemishes and under the eyes to cover any dark circles. I use Givenchy light reflecting concealer.
5. If you have any spots that are hard to conceal, you can apply Clinique’s Anti-Blemish concealer, which has a thicker formula than the Givenchy one and will also help heal the blemishes.
6. The next step is to apply tinted moisturiser to even up the tone of your face. I use Dior’s one. Be careful when applying the moisturiser not to rub it too much as you can rub off your concealer. It is better to pat it on.
7. Now it is necessary to fix your make up in place with some translucent powder. I use a compact powder from Chanel. It is important to pat it on once again not to mess up the rest of your make up.
8. The finishing touch is to apply a bit of mascara. I like Max Factor’s Volume mascara as it gives a very natural result. Each lash is elongated and separated and it doesn’t look like you are wearing any mascara at all.
9. For the lips I use Chanel’s lipstick in beige. It adds a touch of colour to the lips without them looking too glossy and unnatural. I like number 91 in Positano.
