Shed Pounds Off Your Face with Make-up

Shed a few pounds off your face with make-up. When applied using a few tricks of the trade, you can sculpt your features, add depth and appear smaller. Do:

1. Use bronzer.
By brushing bronzer, a powder that acts like a sun tanner, on your face, you can disguise a double chin. Just add this product along your jaw line and blend. Be sure to go one shade darker than your natural color.

2. Apply lipstick.
Want to make your round face appear narrower? Apply lipstick. You can shed pounds off your face with make-up by plumping up your lips with a shimmery tint. Go for pink or berry colors and don't forget the gloss. Revlon has a wide-range of these shades in their collection.

3. Line your eyes.
Wide, bright eyes draw attention away from the perimeter of your face diminishing the size. Use liner and shadow to achieve this look. Also, arch your brows. Shaped eyebrows give you definition and mystique.

4. Wear foundation.
Shed pounds off your face with make-up by putting on foundation. Foundation evens out and flattens your skin. As a result, you look less lumpy and bulky. Choose one close to your god-given shade. If you don't know where to find a complementary foundation, visit a Clinique booth at your local Macy's store.

5. Contour with blush.
Lack color in your face? Make your cheeks appear rosier with blush and contour them at the same time. Begin a couple of inches below the temple and swoop down and toward the mid-area of your cheeks. This process will give this area shape and dimension.

6. Invest into a highlighter.
Highlighters can shed pounds off your face if you understand how to use them. You can apply a dark highlighter underneath cheekbones or down your nose to make each feature appears thinner or more raised. Read How to Apply Highlighter to get instructions on ways to use this accessory on different parts of your face.

7. Give volume to your hair.
Okay, this last trick has nothing to do with make-up. But, if used, you end up with a slimmer looking face. Big, high hair makes a pudgy face seem smaller in comparison. Put most of the weight at the top of your head to elongate your features.

The above following 7 tricks can help you shed pounds off of your face with make-up. Use them and appear more sophisticated and sleek.
