“Every woman is beautiful in her uniqueness. That’s true, but personally, I understand that girls strive to improve themselves in some way. For example, to make the face thinner. Of course, you need to work comprehensively on yourself and start not from the outside, but from the inside. However, when there is a way to change something right here and now, why not use it? Especially if it allows you to lift your mood.

Excess weight is almost always reflected on the face: the oval loses definition, features “float”. But here I want to note one important point – now we are not going to talk about makeup exclusively for overweight women. The absence of excess weight does not guarantee the presence of well-defined cheekbones and sunken cheeks. Therefore, the topic “how to lose weight in the face with makeup” will be useful to many girls. It’s about correction techniques. If you want to make your face more sculpted, they are for you.

Starting with care

Owners of full faces often have reduced skin turgor, so care should be thorough and become a habit. Facial massage is one way to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the substances responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. This is important for maintaining a defined facial oval, especially the lower third of the face.

The formula for perfect skin: quality cosmetics plus properly selected care.

Cleansing should be gentle. The skin should not be stretched and washed “until it squeaks”. The most effective means:

• hydrophilic oil – gently cleanses, leaving the skin moisturized;
• micellar water – for eyelid demakeup (cleanses in a second, even from waterproof cosmetics). The opinion that micellar water does not need to be removed is wrong. We wash it off;
• toners and toners (Korean analog of toners, with a dispenser for spraying) erase makeup residues and bring PH to normal.

We also use quality patches for the skin around the eyes. They remove puffiness and moisturize. The face also needs additional manipulations. This can be moisturizing face masks. The most convenient are cloth ones, but the format is unprincipled. Remember that quality moisturized skin is a good turgor.

To keep our skin supple and elastic, it is also important to choose the right creams. Moisturizing during the day, nourishing at night. In the components work well peptides, hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.

Makeup for full faces

Flawless skin tone

To make the face visually thinner, a perfect tone is simply necessary. How to achieve it? Here we will have two options: base and foundation.

1- Makeup base. I recommend a lilac base – reflective, with a barely noticeable shade of lilac. It’s a real masthead. It will erase the traces of fatigue like a photoshop and turn dull skin into radiant skin.

2. foundation. Face modeling requires an even skin tone without nuances. A lightweight foundation will not do the trick. Makeup will look messy and facial features will look cartoonish. The density of the product should be from medium to high, better with the mark “lifting”.

For dry and normal skin, a wet finish is acceptable. For combined and oily skin – only matte finish. The shade of the product should not differ from the skin color, otherwise there will be a mask effect. The best place for its selection is the décolleté.

I recommend to apply the shade with a wet sponge. It should be done with light patting movements, as if beating the product into the skin. It is important to thoroughly work through all areas, as close to the hair roots as possible.

Appropriate shape of eyebrows

Eyebrows of the right shape can make the face slimmer. Moreover, sometimes this is enough to like yourself in the mirror and not think about how to lose weight in the face.

In case of fullness, long eyebrows of medium width are usually suitable. I highly recommend consulting a specialist. You need to consider your individual features and facial features when constructing your eyebrow.

Sculpting

Face correction (and indeed all makeup) should be done strictly at the window. While you are learning, you need natural light. When the movements will reach automatism, it will cease to play a key role.

What are the principles of sculpting? Everything that needs to be narrowed (made less visible), we darken. Cosmetics for contouring should be three tones darker and more saturated than the foundation.

With light skin, we take sculptors of gray or olive shades. For tanned or yellow-toned skin – bronzers (with tan effect, having orange and warm brown undertones).

I recommend natural goat brushes for applying dry bronzers/sculptors. In case of allergies – nylon or imitation (synthetic pile made under the natural pile).

What areas and how do we work on them?

If you have a wide forehead, you need to darken the temporal zone. That is, we pass the sculptor on the side parts and thus visually narrow this zone.

Now we move on to the oval face, cheeks and chin. A full face has no sharp corners. We need to create them with the help of makeup. To do this, we turn to geometry. We make the following manipulations.

1. Apply concealer under the eyes and on the area between the eyebrows (in the form of an inverted triangle).

2. Create a “cut cheeks” effect a la Kim Kardashian. Using sculptors/bronzer, mark out two triangles going from the periphery of the face to the center. You get a wide correction that goes to narrowing. The vertices (the points from which the construction starts) are labeled with the letters ABC:

• A – top of the cheekbone,
• B – upper jaw,
• C – corners of the lips.

This correction will add missing angles to the shape and create relief. The face will become maximally expressive due to active cheekbones.

Now we move on to the chin. Round or classic its shape does not require correction. In the presence of excess volume in this area (second chin) it is important not to overdo it. Correction should not be noticeable. It is enough to work the problem area with powder two tones darker than the foundation. It should be done with light touches from side to side, using a fluffy brush. For a more obvious effect, the movements should be polishing.

The shades we choose are: nude, translucent, natural. It is important to avoid anything bright and screaming. The look should be as natural as possible. Also, we do not take dark and persistent lipsticks.

Here are all the secrets of how to make a full face more thin with the help of makeup. The main thing here is the measure. Do not try to draw a new face. Cosmetics are designed to emphasize your individuality. Remember that copies do not remember, but the original is not forgotten. Be unique!
