How to Use Makeup to Slim Your Face

Makeup for Round and Chubby Faces

• Over-applying makeup and layering multiple layers of foundation can make your face appear larger. To look more beautiful, focus on your skin first. Be sure to use a moisturizer and hydrate your skin before applying makeup. Once a week, use a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells from your face.

• For your makeup, use a darker foundation and a brush to contour under your cheekbones, above your neck, and under your chin.

• Use a lighter foundation to highlight your forehead towards your nose and the bridge of your nose.

• Use a matte foundation to create an even complexion. Never use shiny foundation or highlighter.

• Apply pink blush from the center of your cheek towards your ear, and make sure that the blush doesn't extend beyond the center of your eye towards the nose. The blush line should be straight, and avoid making it circular or round.

• If you have a round face, avoid giving your eyebrows an arch. It’s better for your eyebrows to be straight and elongated. You can use a lighter color under your eyebrows to enhance their appearance.

• A long, extended eyeliner will draw attention to your eyes and reduce the roundness of your face.

• Outline your lips with a lip liner and use matte lipstick.

• Cut your hair short. Voluminous and styled hair makes your face appear larger. The best hairstyle for you is a simple Egyptian bob or a modern short haircut.

• If you have long hair, style it for a party and gather it on top of your head. This way, attention will be drawn to the top of your head instead of your face.

• It is true that dark colors, especially black, make you look slimmer, but don’t overdo it with dark clothing. No matter how overweight you are, you have the right to wear colorful or floral clothes.

• Even if you are overweight, you can create balance in your body by using makeup, hairstyles, or accessories.

• Contrary to the habit of overweight people, wear clothes that fit your size instead of oversized ones.
