"Hi my name is Lauren with makeup by Dodge and today we will be talking about how to make your face look thinner using makeup. I am sure a lot of you ladies want to know how to do this and it is very easy. So first you need to find contouring makeup. Contouring makeup some would call it bronzer. I personally don't like bronzer because let's face it no one really has red or orange tones in their skin unless they have a darker complexion but a light light light almost pigmentlessly of these have little bit more brown. So I'll take this color which is a little brown and I am going to sweep it underneath the cheekbones and on the rim of the face by the hairline and bring it out towards the center of the face. This contouring makeup, this powder should only be put on when you powder your face already or else it is going to be blotchy from the foundation and it is just going to look all a mess. The point of this is like I said before it is going to make your eye think that it is recessing, that it doesn't really exist as close to the surface as it really does and if you put a little highlight in the center of the face that will bring the center out and the edges back so your face will thus look a little thinner than it really is."
