How to Make Your Face Look Thinner with Makeup? – 3 Easy Steps

Hello Everyone!

Many of us feel our face is much broader than what we prefer and we feel there is no way out of it. But hey! When there is will, there is definitely a way! And so the art of contouring was invented.

What you will need for it? Well it depends on what products you want to use for the contouring. If you are to use a cream product it’s best to use your fingers and if you want to use a powder then you can use a brush. So we will mention each way separately.

 

Contouring Face with Concealer or Cream Bronzer:

Step 1:

Apply foundation on you face and do your usual makeup. Before applying the setting powder follow these steps. We can do the contouring using two types of products bronzers or concealers (in two shades darker than your natural skin tone)

Step 2:

Take a concealer in two shades darker than your skin tone or a cream or stick bronzer and take a bit of the product on the tip of the fingers. Now make your face into a fish face as in the picture.

Now though contouring is different in each face type and shape usually the contouring should start from the area on your cheek which is parallel to the mid portion of your ears (the part right under your natural cheek bone). Take the finger and slightly apply the bronzer from the cheek towards the mouth. Apply small portions and amounts and apply according to your preferences.

Step 3:

Top with a light layer of face powder or setting powder.

Contouring Face with Compact or Powder Bronzer:

Step 1:

Apply foundation on you face and do your usual makeup. Before applying the setting powder follow these steps. We can do the contouring using two types of products Bronzers or compact (in two shades darker than your natural skin tone)

Step 2:

Take an angled blush brush/an angled bronzing brush and take a small amount of product on the brush. Now contouring should start from the area on your cheek which is parallel to the mid portion of your ears (the part right under your natural cheek bone . Take the brush and apply the bronzer from the cheek towards the mouth. Apply small portions and amounts and apply according to your preferences.

Step 3:

If you feel there are prominent lines or that you want to tone down the effect then use a fluffy face brush or a kabuki brush to soften the area with light strokes. And you are done.

Now why we have suggested face powder and concealer is that it’s quite hard to find a good contouring powder or bronzer which is matte so this will do the trick on an everyday basis.
