I started taking collagen powder (put it in a smoothie) for bone health, but noticed right away it also helped my skin. Makes it more elastic and less tired looking. The kind I use also has Hyaluronic acid, not sure if it’s that or the Hyaluronic acid.

Also, years ago I needed professional photos taken, and the photographer told me to drink a ton of water the day before the photo. It surprisingly really did help my skin glow.

Good haircut/dye/blowout and good makeup do wonders. So does a well-fitting outfit with a little pop (don’t just wear black). When we were younger, the little black dress looked hot. Now it will just make you look like you’re going to a funeral.

Face lift. Game changer for late 50s.

I’d treat myself to a great pair of sunglasses. I’ve been eyeing the big square Gucci sunglasses with the gradient lenses.

Really great sunglasses add so much to a look. And you can wear them every time you go outside.

I think it makes you produce more collagen.

Botox, a hydrofacial, 3 day Crest white strips, a professional blow out.

A light spray tan- maybe. Probably not if you're very pale but if you have skin that tans easily you'll look good with a pro spray tan.

Botox, hair color, high lights, eyebrow shaping, creamy make up, professional spray tan, mani and pedi and professional dressing by Bloomingdales. Good luck.

Really comfortable shoes. when I feel better, I look better.
Really flattering glasses or shades. When I look better, I feel better.
A nice water bottle to encourage hydration. I like Owala.
Maybe a professional eyebrow tweaking.

I wouldn’t do injectables because of the risk of bruising when you’re so close to an event. I would get a nice hair cut, color, and spring for highlights. The day of the event, have professional makeup done. And get a great dress/outfit with good foundational garments to smooth everything out and make it fit better. Good luck OP!

Agree with a lot of the above. I would get my hair done, eyebrows shaped, mani/pedi, and get a bra fitting. And a good bra can take 10 lbs off in an instant. With the wedding 2 weeks out, I wouldn’t do Botox.
