How to Fake a Supermodel Body

Flattering clothing is always a must with supermodels.

Supermodels seem to have the perfect body with smooth, sun-kissed skin and flawless makeup. However, supermodels also have a behind-the-scenes glam squad that keeps them looking fabulous at all times. While you may not have your own glam squad, you can re-create a similar look of your own by implementing their tried-and-true tricks to show off your own supermodel body.

Things You'll Need

• Lip gloss
• Oil blotting paper
• Self-tanner
• Skin exfoliator
• Face mask
• Push-up bra
• Highlighting makeup
• High heels

Instructions

1. Keep a bag of tricks in your purse at all times. Supermodels are never caught with a shiny face or unpolished lips. Maintain a small emergency kit with a favorite lip gloss and oil-blotting paper. Other items to toss in your bag include mascara, safety pins for an unexpected emergency and gum.

2. Show off your killer legs by applying a self-tanner. Supermodels do not expose bruises, veins or cellulite; not because they do not have these, but because they know how to apply a tanner correctly. Apply the self-tanner yourself or seek a professional to assist you with a streak-free application. Professional tanners can use airbrush techniques to create the appearance of defined arm and stomach muscles to increase your supermodel status.

3. Kick blemishes to the curb and flaunt your newly sun-kissed skin color with soft and smooth skin. Use skin exfoliators once or twice a week to remove any unwanted flaky or dry skin that may find its way onto your supermodel body. Summer time involves sweating because of the hot, humid air. Sweat will clog your pores, creating unattractive bumps and blemishes along your clothing or swimsuit line. Keep a package of baby wipes in your car or purse to wipe down areas that are susceptible to blemishes during warmer months.

4. Apply a face mask to your skin to keep dead skin away and help fresh skin cells generate. Facial masks can be homemade, bought at a store or you can seek a professional application. Supermodels often feed their skin healthy vitamins and minerals through facials and masks.

5. Enhance your cleavage to bring out your inner supermodel. Enhancements are girl's best friend when it comes to wearing clothing and swimsuits. Purchase a fabulous push-up bra or swimsuit to flaunt your upper half. In addition, sprinkle a highlighter right in the shadow of your chest and along your cleavage line to give the illusion of bigger cleavage.

6. Maintain your posture to walk taller. In addition to visual beauty, supermodels exude confidence simply through their presence. Boost your confidence by reminding yourself that you are fabulous. If you naturally tend to slump forward while you walk, grab a pair of your favorite heels and walk in them for a day or week. Heels will make you stand taller and walk straighter.
