Would you love to drop ten pounds in just a few short minutes? We all know that that’s an impossible dream, but you can look like you lost weight almost instantly with a few simple makeup tricks!
There are several tricks to making a full shaped face look thinner. Highlight you brow bones and cheek bones with an iridescent powder. Fuller lips will also make your face appear thinner and you can get this effect by applying a shimmering gloss to just the center of your bottom lip.
Another trick is to use two shades of blush, one light shade and one darker shade. The apples of your cheeks should get a lighter blush, blended by rubbing in circular motions. The darker shade should be swept along your cheekbones. And, using the light shade on your forehead and nose will help your face glow!
No matter what shape your face is, bigger eyes will make everything appear smaller! Draw attention to your eyes and away from your heavy cheeks and your face will seem much thinner. Apply two coats of mascara and focus more on the edges of your lashes. A white liner used on the bottom of your eye combined with a dark liner on the top will make your eyes appear much larger.
Even the proper arch of your eyebrows will make you look slimmer! A higher arch will make your face appear to be longer instead of wider. The arch should be just over the iris of your eye and don’t go too high or you’ll end up with a frightened or startled look!
If you need to slim down a wide nose, apply highlighter down the entire length of your nose bone. Then usejust a dab of concealer that is one shade darker than your natural skin color on each side of the highlighted
line and blend the two shades. The sides of your nose will be much less noticeable because the eye will be
drawn to the lighter color.
If you’d like to disguise that double chin, use a light dusting of bronzer just along the jawline. Then apply some
to your temples and on your nose to blend the look. Using bronzer on the jawline will produce a shadow effect
that will make your chin seem smaller. You can also use a darker foundation or blush under your cheek bones
and at the jawline.
