Instead of actually filling your lips, Botox just eases the muscles around your mouth. This makes your lips curve outwards and look bigger. The procedure only takes a minute or two and usually costs between $200 and $450 per session. Avoid getting too much Botox injected into your lipsthis will make it hard to move your mouth for important tasks like eating and drinking. Botox injections won't last forever. Depending on your specific lip type and how much Botox you get, you'll need to go back eventually once the effects wear off. Lip fillers are injections that go into your upper and bottom lips to make them more full. There are lots of different kinds, and your plastic surgeon will evaluate your lips to help you choose the best one. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes, costing between $600 and $800. Lip fillers typically last 6-8 months. Your lips are numbed before the filler is injected. Juvederm is a popular type of lip filler. Lip implants such as PermaLip are inserted into your lips by a professional. After a consultation where your plastic surgeon decides what size implant would be best, the implant is positioned underneath the lip fat. The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes and costs between $2,000 and $4,000. Your lips are numbed before the procedure takes place. While cosmetic procedures may cause your lips to feel sore, red, or puffy in the following days, they can also lead to some complications. Choose a qualified doctor and talk to them before the procedure to make sure you're aware of any side effects or complications. Go online to research qualified doctors in your area, or ask your general practitioner if they have any recommendations. Some people may suffer from bleeding or hematoma, but this isn't very common.

Summary: Have a Botox procedure done to enhance your lips. Use lip fillers to plump up your lips semi-permanently. Opt for a lip implant for a permanent solution. Be aware of the risks associated with surgical lip procedures.

Giving your dish a spicy kick can help tone down its sweetness, and pepper works really well to add some heat. Depending on the food and your personal tastes, you can use black, cayenne, or crushed red pepper to help balance the flavors in your recipe. A pinch is usually all it takes, but taste the dish to see if the sweetness has been adequately toned down. There's a reason that so many recipes call for garlic -- it has a spicy distinctive taste that can help lessen the sweetness in a dish. Best of all, it's versatile, so you can add it to sauces, meat, fish, vegetables, soups, stews, and casseroles that are too sweet. Fresh garlic cloves have the strongest flavor, so they usually work best. However, garlic powder can be effective too. Start with 1 clove of garlic or of teaspoon of the powder, and adjust to taste. Don't cook the dish too long after you've added the garlic. It becomes sweeter the longer that you cook it, so you can actually wind up increasing the sweetness in your food. Any spice that adds heat or a smoky, earthy flavor is ideal for countering excess sweetness, so choose an option that complements the dish that you're making. Both fresh and dried spices can work, but start with a small amount and taste as you go. Dried herbs and spices are stronger and more concentrated than their fresh counterparts, so you don't need to use as much. Start with of a teaspoon and add more if necessary after tasting. Other spices and herbs that you may want to consider for balancing sweetness include rosemary, sage, thyme, chili powder, and marjoram.

Summary: Sprinkle in some pepper. Incorporate garlic. Stir in oregano, ginger, basil, cumin, or your favorite pungent spice/herb.

You will need several types of supplies to make your own mask, but you can always use these supplies to make additional masks. These are available online or at large crafting stores. You will need an oil based clay to sculpt the mask. You will also need a form to sculpt your mask on top of such as a Styrofoam mannequin head. You will need a material called industrial gypsum in order to make a mold of the sculpture. You will need some burlap to make your mold 3-D. Select a good quality brand of liquid latex for your mask. You will need a casting latex specifically formulated for mask making, called RD-407. You can also purchase paints or decorations such as fake fur, sequins, or feathers to put on the mask. This will depend on what final look you are hoping to achieve. Your clay will become more pliable for sculpting if you warm it a bit first. Place a few blocks of plasticine clay in the oven at a low temperature (150-200 F) for 15 to 20 minutes. The clay should be very pliable and warm, but not hot to the touch. Do not allow the clay to liquify. To sculpt the mask, you will need the form to stay immobile. You can secure the styrofoam mannequin head to a solid wooden base such as a 12' x 12' piece of plywood. Attach the head with duct tape until it is secure. You should use a thick enough layer of clay that you don't have to worry about it thinning as you sculpt. You can use your hands, sculpting tools, or tools from around the house (like a butter knife or putty knife) to sculpt details including skin textures and exaggerated features. Smooth the surface of the clay with lighter fluid and a small flat paint brush. When you are satisfied with your creation, move on to the next step. It may take you several hours or even days to create the look you are going for.
Summary: Gather your materials. Warm the clay. Set up the mannequin or other form. Cover the head with clay and start sculpting.
