Here's the truth about beauty: nobody looks like a pin-up model 24/7. Even in children's tales, the most beautiful maiden in town will look like an ordinary countryside girl when the clock strikes 12. . .and that's okay.
But in case you decide to spend some time pampering yourself, a visit to a nearby salon or wellness centre wouldn't hurt. In this write-up, Tatler gives you a list of simple and quick procedures you can avail to achieve an effortlessly glamorous look that's beyond compare.

Having acne breakouts on a dull or oily face is completely normal; however, a quick facial treatment can spare you from this skin nightmare in just an hour or so. A facial is a set of skincare treatments that certified aestheticians apply to your face. The goal is to gently exfoliate your skin, remove gunk and other forms of impurities, and nourish it with vitamin-infused face masks.
You may opt to undergo this treatment in beauty salons, day spas, or in your dermatologist's clinic.
2. Eyebrow Threading/ Eyebrow Tattoo

Eyebrows play a crucial role in how we project ourselves to others; frown a little and you'd look like Spock from Star Trek, raise it and you'll resemble Morticia Addams. Case in point, there is an eyebrow shape that suits you, and you'll never know what it is until someone professionally examines you.
If you're already blessed with thick brows, consider going to a beauty salon for a nice and well-calculated trim. You can pick between having your eyebrows shaved, plucked, or threaded depending on how long you want your desired eyebrow shape to last.
If your brows are not as bushy, try asking a licensed aesthetician for advice. He or she may recommend the slightly painful eyebrow tattooing which is exactly as it sounds: a tattoo in the shape of an eyebrow.

Say goodbye to mascaras; have a bright and glowing pair of eyes even without any makeup on! A quick eyelash perm performed by licensed cosmetologists help flip up lashes using hair perming chemicals. The process typically lasts 40 minutes which is quite a short time for a result you can enjoy for two to three months.
Eyelash extension, on the other hand, is a process for people who want longer than usual eyelashes. Here, your cosmetologist will attach semi-permanent fibres onto your natural eyelashes so you are on fleek even when you're asleep.
4. Juvéderm Fillers

In 2015, the internet was filled with videos of teenagers doing the "Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge". The process was simple, all you have to do is insert your lips into a shot glass, a small jar, or bottle then suck out the air. The hope is that after long periods of time, your mouth will end up like the TV star's plump lips.
This challenge, although fun and free of charge was flagged by health experts. Not only is this process dangerous, but it also provides temporary results.
If you want a safe and long-lasting lip procedure, try seeking help from the Belo Medical Team. Their clinic offers Juvéderm fillers which can make your lips look fuller and hydrated. "Juvéderm is generally used for wrinkle correction around the eyes and lips, as well as in lip enhancement. Whether you want baby lip fillers for a minor enhancement or want to go all the way like Kylie, you can speak with our Belo MDs to figure out just how much Juvéderm filler is right for your face shape and beauty goals," the team said on its website.
