SOFTMAXXING PROCEDURES TO REPLACE MAKEUP
by dazitsu
The goal for this guide is to inform you of procedures that can help you look good 24/7 instead of having to fraud with makeup every day. Targeted towards women but applies to men as well.
I’ll briefly talk about each procedure then link guides that go into depth about said procedure. You can do most of these yourself at home but i highly recommend getting them done professionally if you have the money for it since you won’t be needing to do them too frequently anyways.
Skin
Procedures that make your skin look smooth, healthy, bright, and even. These can replace foundation and concealers.
Don’t forget to wear spf every day since most skin procedures make your skin more sensitive to the sun
Hair
Not exactly makeup related but having your hair looking good obviously adds to the “looking good 24/7” part.
LIPS
Replacing lip products such as lipstick, lipgloss and lip liners. Make your lips look pink plump.
EYES
Aims to replace products such as brown pencils, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara etc. but of course you might still need to fraud with those products depending on how fucked your eye area is.

Chemical peels treat various skin imperfections by prompting controlled epidermal damage. Depending on the depth of the peel, they can:
Improve Texture: Smooth out rough, dry, or scaly skin patches.
Reduce Pigmentation: Diminish sun spots, age spots, freckles, and melasma.
Minimize Wrinkles: Soften fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth.
Clear Acne: Unclog pores, treat certain types of acne, and reduce mild to moderate acne scars.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body's natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin texture, reduce scarring, and smooth fine lines.

A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is a powerful gas laser that emits an invisible infrared light beam, primarily used in dermatology as an ablative treatment to vaporize damaged skin layers. It is commonly used to reduce wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and to stimulate collagen production for a smoother, firmer complexion.

Underrated procedure in the looksmaxxing community tbh i’d suggest doing more research on it elsewhere since i couldn’t find many threads on it

Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that exposes your skin to low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. By stimulating cellular energy (mitochondria), it is used to boost collagen production, increase blood circulation, and reduce inflammation.
Skin Health: May help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. It is also used to treat acne and conditions like psoriasis or eczema.
Hair Loss: Helps stimulate blood flow to hair follicles, which may promote hair regrowth in individuals with thinning hair.
Pain Relief: Used in musculoskeletal medicine to help reduce inflammation, muscle pain, and joint stiffness associated with conditions like arthritis.

A keratin treatment infuses your hair with keratin, the natural protein that gives hair its strength. The treatment repairs damage, eliminates frizz, and temporarily smooths the hair cuticle, cutting your daily styling and blow-drying time in half.
Keratin treatments are designed to rebuild porous, damaged, or unruly hair by manually replenishing the protein lost to heat styling, coloring, and environmental stress.

A hair gloss is a semi-permanent, demi-permanent, or clear conditioning treatment that coats the hair shaft to seal the cuticle. It acts like a topcoat, locking in moisture, banishing frizz, and reflecting light for a vibrant, mirror-like shine.
Results typically last anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the frequency of your hair washing.
Okay I couldn’t find any good threads on this but it basically makes your hair look shiny and healthy and shit

A Blowout uses a blow dryer and a round brush on freshly washed hair to create a smooth, voluminous, and bouncy finish. It shapes the hair as it dries, giving you a polished, frizz-free look that can last from several days to a week.
Again couldn’t find any threads but I’d recommend looking up youtube videos if you plan to do it at home as there’s multiple different styles of blowouts you can do.

Hair dye can make or break your look. The color completely depends on your skin undertone, your phenotype and the vibes you’re trying to go for. It can take your contrast and coloring from shit to amazing.

Btw if I’d generally advise against unnatural colors because they usually nerf you but if you really want an unnatural color then get your color analysis done first so you can atleast pick a color that looks good on you

LIPS
Replacing lip products such as lipstick, lipgloss and lip liners. Make your lips look pink plump.
Lip fillers are cosmetic injectables, most commonly made of hyaluronic acid, used to enhance your lips. They add volume, smooth out fine lines, improve symmetry, and define the lip borders. The procedure is minimally invasive and allows for precise shaping to achieve a natural-looking result.
HA fillers naturally dissolve over time and you can also get them manually dissolved so it’s typically considered a low-risk procedure.
Many people on this forum will tell you to do them at home but under no circumstances must you do them yourself. Despite being considered low-risk, it’s easy for lip fillers to look shit as they can migrate over time. It takes the most skilled professionals to inject it in a way so it doesn’t migrate so be careful and do your research before choosing an injector.
And don’t go over 0.5-1ml or you’ll look like a blown up sex doll

Lip blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that deposits custom-tinted pigment into the superficial layers of your lips. It enhances your natural lip color, corrects asymmetry, and provides a subtle, defined flush of color that eliminates the need for daily lip liner or stain.
Rather than giving you a heavy "lipstick" look, the technique yields a sheer wash of color. The primary benefits include:
Adds Definition: It gently defines the border of your lips, which often fade as we age.
Creates the Illusion of Fullness: By lightly shading the lip line and neutralizing pale or dark spots, it creates a plumper, more youthful appearance without the use of temporary dermal fillers.
Long-Lasting Results: The cosmetic tattoo typically lasts between 2 to 4 years depending on your skin type, age, and lifestyle.

This is perfect for replacing lip products and having that natural pink lip look.

Brow shaping is the process of altering and tidying the eyebrows to create a balanced contour using techniques like waxing, threading, or tweezing. It defines your facial structure, highlights your eyes, and enhances natural proportions, instantly giving your face a more polished and youthful appearance.

Brow lamination is essentially a "perm" for your eyebrows. It chemically relaxes and straightens the hair, allowing a technician to mold, lift, and set them into an upward, uniform shape. This creates the appearance of fuller, fluffier, and perfectly groomed brows that last for about 4 to 8 weeks.
A lash lift is essentially a "perm" for your natural eyelashes. It chemically reshapes and curls your existing lashes upward right from the root, instantly making them appear longer, fuller, and giving your eyes a more awake, refreshed look without the need for extensions or a daily eyelash curler.
A Lash Tint is a semi-permanent, safe dye is applied to your lashes. This darkens the lashes from root to tip, providing the same volumizing effect as a fresh coat of mascara.

Undereye fillers (also known as tear trough fillers) are cosmetic, injectable treatments that restore lost volume beneath the eyes. They are primarily used to treat dark shadows, deep hollows, and sunken appearances, leaving you looking more awake and refreshed.
The procedure involves injecting a soft, flexible dermal filler—most commonly made of hyaluronic acid (HA)—into the groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek. Because HA is a natural substance that binds water, it gently lifts and plumps the skin, smoothing out shadows and hollows. The results are usually visible immediately and last anywhere from 6 to 12 months.
As stated for the lip fillers, do not attempt this at home. The undereye area is the most delicate area of your face, it’s very easy to mess up the injection and leave your undereyes looking weird and uncanny. There’s other solutions for hollow undereyes as well but this guide is for softmaxxes so i’ll leave it at this.
