How to Make Your Face Look Thinner

This requires no fad diets or major weight loss. With a bit of special know-how, you can make your face look thinner in under 5 minutes. How? With make up! Make up will go a long way in giving your face that thinner, leaner appearance and no one will even be wise to your tricks.

Start off by first putting your facial make up on your face, like your concealer, your foundation and your blush. If you don’t have the powder on prior to applying these contouring make up tricks, then your face may appear blotchy and messy.

The first thing that you will need to help give your face a leaner appearance is to choose an appropriate bronzer, or a brown-based blush. For those with a darker complexion, bronzer is probably suitable, but for women with a fairer complexion it may do you best to work with a brown-based blush color as a bronzer can appear a bit too strong and obvious.

Take a dome-shaped blush brush and dust it across the blush or bronzer. Take the brush and sweep it right under the cheekbones. Then, move along to the rim of your face by the hairline, and bring it right across to the center of your face. This will help bring attention to the center of your face and the darker contouring around the edges will detract both light and attention to the roundness of your face.

If you also want to have thinner or leaner lips, this can easily be accomplished with a little bit of lip liner and your lip stick. The fastest way to give yourself a leaner lip look is to take your pencil and to trace the shape of your lips along the inside of your lip line rather than directly on the lip line. Fill your lips in with your lipstick and you’re good to go.

Alternatively, if you would like to help draw a bit more attention to your mouth and away from your actual face, draw the line around the outside of your lips rather than on the lip line itself. Take a lip brush and fill your lips in with lipstick, and cover your lips with a lip sealant. This will give your lips a fuller, sexier pout.

Blush and shimmer also go a long way in keeping your face looking more lean. Dusting your blush right along the apples of your cheeks and drawing it up to your cheekbones will give your face more definition. Using shimmer will help attract light to certain areas you would like to give more attention to, like on the tops of your cheek bones, your temples, and below your eyebrows.

Another way that women swear makes their faces look leaner is to not ever use a center part in their hair. Having a side part or any sort of variation of part will help trim down the size of your face. Also having bangs or layers that lie around the cheek bone as well as the jaw line can help create some extra dimensions and definition to your face that otherwise would be missed by anyone looking at your face.
