Sadly some of us are blessed or not so blessed with having a chubby face, and since the camera cannot always magically make you appear slimmer, this makes it even worse. Luckily, there are some tips on how to make the face look slim with makeup, which we have suggested below.

This was never possible before, but thanks to the internet and celebrity stylists sharing their makeup tips for slimming face, we too can make our faces look slimmer using makeup.

This can be a little bit tricky at first, but with a little bit of practice, you can become a makeup pro. You need to be very patient. No one, and not even makeup artists were born with such precision and skill. And come on, they usually charge a whole lot of money for all this.

So, wouldn't it be a lot easier to know about these makeup tips for slimming face and do them all by yourself? The key to good makeup lies in your blending skills. You need to blend it all in, so that it does not look fake and looks like a part of your skin.

So, here are the steps on how to make your face look slimmer using makeup!

Step 1:

Start with a primer. This makes sure your makeup stays on longer and does not crease. It also fills in the pores and lines on your face.

Step 2:

Then for the base, use a foundation that matches your skin tone, as using a shade too light or too dark can make you look too fake. Blend the foundation using a damp sponge. This gives you an airbrushed finish.

Step 3:

Follow up with a concealer under the eyes, on the bridge of the nose and the cupid's bow. These are all areas that tend to get a little dark. This is the crucial step on how to make your face look slim with makeup.

Step 4:

Add a little bit of shimmer or highlighter on the areas you just concealed. Avoid shimmer on the under-eye area. Apply translucent powder on these areas to set the makeup.

Step 5:

Using a foundation two shades darker than your skin tone, draw a line underneath your cheekbones. This is the step that makes your face look slimmer with makeup. Blend it in with the same damp sponge.
