Beauty game “Never”: how Nyusha unsuccessfully enlarged her lips and tried to lose weight

We’re sure you’ve played the “never played” game many times, so you know the rules well. They are simple: each participant in the continuation of the statement talks about the action he took on the contrary. For example, “I’ve never wrapped myself in cling film to lose weight.” Participants who also do this bend their fingers or drink (depending on the party). In the new PEOPLE TALK, we added the “beauty” prefix to the game and asked the stars what “shameful” things they did with their looks or bodies. And so that no one repeats the mistakes of youth, experts will answer why everything does not go according to plan.

Today Nyusha will tell about her beauty failures. Let’s go!

I never…

… tried to lose excess weight

It’s no secret that I was chubby in my youth. And at the age of 14-15 I went to a nutritionist who recommended me a course for losing weight. Then I couldn’t afford it and put it off until better times. A massage therapist appeared in my life and promised to rid me of extra pounds (I was especially embarrassed by the sides and upper legs). As a result, I got the worst massage ever. They beat me up like a steak, and then I had permanent bruises on my body. Then they applied some kind of bear fat, honey, a very strange mixture in general and wrapped it in cling film. I had to sleep in it, sweat and live until morning. On the third day of such massages, I went out to look for a stop to buy myself something delicious. I felt so sorry for myself that I couldn’t stand it and ate a chocolate bar and for some reason I felt better.

Even the most vigorous anti-cellulite massage should not cause bruising, and sleeping in cling film is an extremely dubious undertaking. But most importantly, this type of self-bullying inevitably leads to a desire to please oneself. That’s where dessert comes in, because for most of us, it’s the most accessible way to feel sorry for ourselves. Then there is a risk of falling into a vicious circle: the more sweets, the stronger the guilt – you want to “work” and even punish yourself, again there is a desire to calm down with food. On such a swing “diet – breakdown” you can swing all your life.

… did a knee straightening

It literally becomes the first win in my life after a while. Of course, I rush to the clinic, where they promised me a transformation, and I want to try all these procedures. First, my body was evaluated by a nutritionist and it was suggested where to get the fat. I willingly participated in my self-criticism and after a while I went for the knee straightening procedure. In the process, I suddenly realized that my knees were filled with needles. At first I thought it was like acupuncture but then they also connected the current to the needles. Then I decided to see what was going on there and saw that these were not just needles, but huge knitting needles. I was so scared that after this procedure I realized how beautiful my legs were and never did such stupid things again.

Often there are problems such as a local increase in the volume of subcutaneous fat in the knee area, sagging and sagging of the skin. In addition, the study of problem areas with the help of physical exercises rarely brings a noticeable result. However, there are cosmetic procedures that help remove deposits where needed. I recommend injection and hardware-free methods instead of laser liposuction, which Nyusha probably does. For example, micro-needle RF lifting, ultrasonic SMAS lifting or filler injections.

…I regret highlighting

In early childhood, I really wanted to look the opposite of my appearance – instead of brown eyes I dreamed of blue ones, and instead of black hair I dreamed of blond ones. Luckily my mom discouraged me from painting it all white, but I still managed to convince her at some point to highlight it. She later worked in a hairdressing salon. After a while, my mother underlined me. It was greenish and didn’t match her skin tone at all. I immediately asked my mother to give my dark hair back, and we weren’t discussing it much anymore.

There are two scenarios where you can get highlighting or lighting with a green tint. The first is the wrong type of brightener product and the percentage of oxides. The result is not clean lighting. The hairdresser does not understand what kind of lighting background turns out in the end and random shades when getting a dirty color on the strands. The second is an incorrectly chosen shade of coloring paint. When lightening the hair, a yellow color is obtained, and many hairdressers use mainly cold shades when toning, which contain blue pigment. If you mix yellow and blue, you get the same shade of green. In the case of Nyusha, in my opinion, there was poor-quality lighting, as a result of which a clean background of the strands could not be obtained and the wrong choice of color for coloring, which gave a greenish tint.

… enlarged her lips

I have wanted full lips for a long time because they are not for me by nature. And then I saw that in addition to silicone injections there is a safer option – hyaluronic acid fillers, which dissolve after a while. So it’s almost impossible to hurt yourself, but it’s actually possible to get great results. And I decided to try this experiment. At first, everything was fine, the volume appeared. As the gel began to dissolve, I realized that I needed to preserve the result. And it probably didn’t come at the best time – the master clearly had a bad period and I fell under a hot hand and injected me with so much, assuring that the swelling would subside in a few days. I suffered, I looked scared around me, but nothing happened. Then I went back to the clinic and said I didn’t like it. They suggested doing the reverse procedure (luckily there is) for the fillers to be absorbed. I did not go further to this master, of course.

Apparently, in this case we are talking about the not quite selected volume of the drug, and the form itself. With the correct correction of the lips, the beautician evaluates the entire face in a complex (taking into account the proportions such as the size of the eyes, nose, chin volume, cheekbones), the so-called golden division rule. The ideal ratio of upper and lower lip height is 1:1.6.
