But now beauty guru Ruby Golani has released a video that showcases how you can achieve fuller lips, open eyes and high cheekbones with makeup instead.
The Sydney-based YouTuber’s ‘Face Surgery With Makeup’ video has garnered 10,000 views and utilises $774 worth of products to get the glamorous look.

‘Just by looking back at this footage I can see how I look like a completely different person,’ the 26-year-old commented.
‘But it’s the all natural, no downtime addition.’
She begins by washing her hair and shampooing it twice, ensuring it’s ‘squeaky clean’ and without any grease or dirt.
Ruby then adds Journey’s hair care hydration mask ($39.95) to soften her curly locks, before conditioning.

When it comes to her face, the stunning brunette uses 16 products to achieve her filler-perfect appearance.
She preps her skin with SKII’s facial essence ($100) and mixes it with Kiehl’s facial cleanser ($30). In the footage Ruby massages it in a circular motion into her skin.

Nars Creamy Concealer ($46) removes pigmentation from her eyelids and under eye circles, Benefit’s Precisely, My Brow pencil ($43) darkens and lifts her eyebrows and a combination of Chanel and Marc Jacobs’ bronzers ($69 and $68 respectively) give her cheekbones supermodel definition.

She covers any minor imperfections, like dryness or mild acne markings, with her Nars concealer too.
To give the impression of lip fillers, her Huda Beauty Sugar Mama liquid lip ($35) and Mirenesse lip pencil ($24) in a natural shade are fused to build a glossy pout.
By the end of the nine minute video she looked incredibly different, by her own omission, and ready to take on the day.
Comparatively, Choice said Botox and fillers are a similar price to make the face appear more youthful.
The price for a single unit of Botox is about $9-$15. To treat the forehead you’ll need roughly 10 to 20 units, costing between $90 and $300.
Meanwhile the cost of a single unit of non-fat filler is about $500-$600.
To treat the lines around the mouth, for example, you’d require one shot of filler, and with treatment fees the cost would total approximately $600-$800.
However both kinds of options do wear out over time and makeup products can be used more than once.
