This one is for the gals who think getting that sculpted and snatched look is a tall task. In the past, it was quite difficult to convince people to wear makeup every day. But in the face of the overwhelming reasoning, the stigma is fading. Therefore, we’re aiming to debunk this myth today. We’re talking about creating fuller brows, smart contouring, hydrated under-eyes that appear “healthy,” and an envy-worthy complexion.
Let’s just say that you’re going to be quite impressed with what we’re about to teach you before you turn away and mock these clever tricks (yeah, self-proclaimed) because they’re “too makeup-y.” They’re foolproof okay? So, bookmark these smart makeup tricks now.
Conquer The Art Of Wearing Makeup Without Spending Too Much Time
Wear Your Foundation In The Middle
Applying just a tiny amount of foundation and evenly blending it outward from the centre of your face (beginning at your nose) can help your foundation look natural and feel like a second skin. Since most of the product is applied towards the outside of your face, this will assist in removing any kind of cakey appearance.
Conquer Your Contouring Technique
You simply need a cream-based contour to achieve a significant sculpted effect that is two to three shades darker than your natural complexion. This is why we specified no insane contouring steps are required for this list of tips. Beginning at your hairline, just above the top of your ear, apply contour cream to the hollows of your cheeks. Taper the intensity down, stopping just before the apples of your cheeks, beneath the middle of your eyes. Apply a small amount of contour colour above the brow arch and up to your hairline without adding extra product to the brush. Now, using a blending brush, blend thrice in a circular motion.
Apply Blush On The Tops Of Your Cheeks
Most likely, you’ve heard of this blush-tip 101: The apples of your cheeks will look larger and younger if blush is applied precisely there. Apply blush on the tops of your cheeks and a little bit around your temples to give the impression that your face is slimmer.
Another trick to making your face appear slimmer is to apply blush in sweeping strokes along the upper portion of your cheeks rather than directly on the apples of your cheeks. By applying it on the apples of your cheeks, you highlight the area of your face that is the roundest. However, applying a blush to the upper portion of your cheeks makes the face appear more uplifted.
Opt For The Contour-Highlighting Combo
A more sophisticated makeup technique to make your face look slimmer is contouring and highlighting; practice makes perfect. In order to shape your face, contouring entails using a deeper shade in the areas around your temples, beneath your cheekbones, and along your jawline, while highlighting gently draws attention to your cheekbones. For this technique, use cream products since they melt into the skin and produce a truly natural finish.
Ice-Ice Baby!
Dunking my face in ice water or using an ice roller to depuff my face in the mornings is the go-to trick for creating the appearance of a slimmer face. Apply a cream contour kit next, which will give your cheekbones and the sides of your nose a softer appearance. After icing your face, you’ll appreciate how naturally contoured and radiant your skin appears!
