There's a makeup artist (male, blond) on YouTube whose anti aging makeup techniques really work. Can't recall his name, but if you google under eye bags makeup it'll pop up.

Has anyone experienced this happening to them?


I sincerely hope you're right about the face sometimes filling out again after maintaining for a while. I was overweight before but my face was nice and full and I had few wrinkles. Now, after losing 63 pounds, my face looks gaunt for lack of a better word. I have loved losing fat from everywhere but my face!

Darn. I am starting LC with a wrinkled, saggy face. Gravity is pulling my fat cheeks down somewhat. Guess I may end up looking just as bad once the weight is off.

I found a system that's working. It's not eliminating lines but it gives me a glowy look. Clinique scrub, toner and moisturizer. The glow offsets the wrinkles. One other thing -- filling in my eyebrows draws attention "up" and lifts my face.

I'd take this face, wrinkles and all, over my old one, though. I'd rather l

Too funny to find this thread. I just went to Macy's cosmetic counter for a little pampering. I was shocked when the guy gave me the mirror. My face has fallen!! I just checked on here so I didn't eat out of frustration and here is this thread.

I have used Retin a in the past and it works wonders go get off that dead layer. I'm almost 50 and the wrinkles started a couple years ago. I've been able to hold them back with good retin a products that I get from Amazon. I do not however know what to do with the jowls under my chin.

I was thinking of trying a filler like Restalin. I always thought I'd except what God gave me but I'm not so sure anymore. Has anyone tried it?

I spent so much time trying to get rid of the fat face and now I want to put some back in.
