Over 40? A Beauty Expert Breaks Down The Viral ‘Facelift’ Makeup Technique That Disguises Jowls And A Turkey Neck: ‘Minus The Surgery’

Hands down, one of the most difficult areas of the face to treat for signs of aging is sagging jowls and a turkey neck. Creams don’t work. Serums that contain retinol can help boost collagen product and make your overall complexion appear healthier and smoother, but they aren’t going to magically lift skin.

So, what can you do about jowl and a sagging neck? If you aren’t thrilled with the idea of just accepting them and moving on, there are treatment options available — at a cost. Non-surgical treatments include Ultherapy, radio frequency treatments such as Thermage, Morpheus8, and Profound RF, and injectables can temporarily make these areas look tighter and more lifted. Surgical options include neck lifts and lower face lifts. Of course, these all come with hefty price tags. If procedures aren’t in the budget, one beauty expert has a brilliant idea: use makeup.

Here is a breakdown of how Makeup Artist Courtney Spencer uses simple contour makeup to conceal jowls and a turkey neck.
