5 Instant Face Slimmers

With the holidays here, the one thing we can almost guarantee is that we will eat more. There will be such a plethora of yummy, delicious treats to taste over these next couple of months. Holidays dinners, family gathering, work parties, Church potlucks..., and all come with desserts.

We often talk about gaining five pounds (or more) during this time; however, do we talk about where we gain it first? Most of us gain weight in our face first. Chubby cheeks look adorable on cherubs and babies at this time, but maybe not us. We cannot say we are storing acorns for the winter freeze. No one would believe that. We cannot say that we are suffering from an allergic reaction- every day. What can we do about it? We can practice the art of illusion- that is what we can do. We can use make- up tricks to make our face appear instantly slimmer.

More dessert, please.

Five instant face slimmers- plump is fine

Full lips draw attention to the center of your face, away from the circumference. A way to highlight your faces is to plump them up with a lip plumping gloss.

Five instant face slimmers- the truth is in the hair

By wearing your hair up, you can create an illusion of a longer and leaner face. A high ponytail or a bun decorated with a simple and elegant barrette or clip will do wonders.

Five instant face slimmers- now is not the time to channel Groucho Marx

Arched and defined brows offset the roundness of a fuller face. Tweeze regularly. It is not too bad. Moreover, the better your eyebrows look, the less looks you will receive as you go back for seconds to the dessert table-oh come on, it is divinity!

Five instant face slimmers- the eyes have it

Apply two coats of mascara, not one. Focus on the lashes out the outer corners. This makes your eyes appear wider; thusly the rest of your face appears slimmer.

Five instant face slimmers- double chins- be gone

There is no sure fire quick way to rid yourself of a double chin. Diet and exercise will work, but who has time with all these parties and all these desserts to try (and try again).

Create a contour chin with bronzer applied just under the jaw line.

Oh, yes, more dessert please.

Our resolution will be to lose that five (or more) pounds. In addition, the first place from which weight disappears is our face. No one will ever be the wiser.
