More men are said to be chasing higher pay packets by undergoing cosmetic surgery treatments.
Over recent years there has been a significant rise in the number of men opting to have cosmetic procedures and according to one branding industry expert, the opportunity to earn more money is one of the reasons men want to look their best.
Celebrity Big Brother runner-up Kerry Katona has revealed that she is considering having further cosmetic surgery to alter her appearance.
The 31-year-old mother of four admitted that she is not happy with the stone she has put on since appearing on the Channel 4 reality television show and is determined to get back into shape.
Halloween is a mere three days away but chances are you’ll be celebrating this weekend, so here are ten scary makeup ideas to get you inspired (and to scare your friends!)
O
ne: Werewolf
You will need…To grow a beard if you’re a man and very well prepared! If a beard isn’t a possibility then get some faux fur from the haberdashery section of your local department store, or head to a fancy dress shop where they’ll have stick-on facial hair and skin-friendly glue. Then you’ll need a set of scary werewolf teeth and some black eyeliner to complete the look. Grrrr!
Two
: Green Witch
You will need…Green face paint, red lipstick, black eyeliner and a black pointy witch’s hat. If you can’t get hold of a hat, fold a piece of black card into a cone and stick this onto a piece of circular black card with a hole in the middle big enough to fit on the top of your head!
Th
ree: Red Devil
You will need…Red face paint, some devil horns, a red outfit and a black devil’s fork. Paint your face red, stick on the horns, practice a terrifying grimace and away you go!
Four
: Green Cat
You will need…A keen eye for detail and probably a friend with a steady hand. Copy this picture using makeup and face paint to achieve an impressive look for Halloween.
Fiv
e: Skeleton
You will need…White face paint and black eyeliner. Wear all black or all white if you don’t have a skeleton outfit and simply copy this picture to scare the life out of those other partygoers.
Six: F
rankenstein
You will need…Green face paint (why not suggest to your friend/partner that they go as a witch so you can share this?) and black eyeliner. Simply cover your face completely with the green paint, draw black around your eyes and a black scar with stitches on your cheek.
Se
ven: Angry Mime
You will need…White face paint, black face paint, a black outfit and white gloves. This is a bit different and original and while it doesn’t have to be scary, you could add a touch of fake blood to the side of the mouth to give it a Halloween edge.
Eight: 
Witch, skeleton and Dracula
You will need…All manner of things! This is one for the kids so just get in the face paints and coloured cards and let them go wild.
Nine: Pumpkin
You will need…Ideally a pumpkin outfit and some orange face paint!
Ten: Pumpkin Pug!
You will need…A cute little dog who doesn’t mind you dressing it up so it’s the centre of attention all night.
Don’t forget to treat yourself to some great cleansers and other skin care products to get all that makeup off!
Happy Halloween!
Nicole Polizzi, better known as ‘Snooki’ in MTV’s reality television show Jersey Shore, has revealed her chest-boosting secret – to wear two bras.

An increase in the number of women giving birth later in life has had a knock-on effect with regard to the number of mums undergoing cosmetic surgery.
