How to Make Your Face Look Thinner Using Makeup
Begin by purchasing a blush palette containing three shades of color to enhance your skin tone. Inside the handy mirrored case is a quarter-size circle of the darkest shade, a larger medium tone, and a smaller moon-shaped shade that’s far lighter than the other two.
Once you have a palette of blush in three shades, begin by applying the darkest tone just below the cheekbones – even if they aren’t apparent. Don’t apply it past the outer corner of the eyes, and apply it over to the hairline while blending it in with your fingertips. Makeup is meant to enhance and not completely change your appearance, and it’s important to make sure it’s blended in well.
Next, apply the medium shade directly above the darker shade, and blend them together so the differences aren’t at all apparent. This will give dimension to the cheekbones, and this technique can’t be achieve with ordinary blush of a single color.
The last step is to highlight the cheekbones with the lightest shade of blush, directly above the medium tone. Just like an oil painter, you’ll add shape to the cheekbones with makeup, and as a result, your face will look naturally thinner. The top highlight will make your face glow while giving it a more useful look.
