How to Slim the Face Using Makeup

Use Blush and powder to visually slim your face, contour your features and enhance your look.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Two Shades of blush in the same color family
• Two shades of pressed powder
• Two tones of loose powder

1. Define Your Cheek Bones.
   
   You'll need two shades of blush in the same color family. Sweep the deeper tone directly underneath your cheekbones and the lighter shade onto the apples of your cheeks.
2. Make Your Nose Look Narrower.
   
   Use a pressed powder that's slightly lighter then your skin tone and apply it from the bridge of your nose straight down to the tip. Then pat a slightly darker pressed powder along the sides of your nose.
3. Elongate a Round Face.
   
   Choose two tones of loose powder, one a shade darker then your skin tone, one a shade lighter. Dust the darker shade along your jawbone from ear to ear. Top with the lighter color to soften the finish. Extend both colors down the neck to avoid lines. Try using a fan shaped brush, you'll have more control then with a round puffy brush.

Tips & Warnings

• Apply makeup in good lighting to avoid an unnatural finish and makeup lines.
