![]() Make sure to “lube up” with your favorite serum, followed by an oil or emollient moisturizer. While it won’t be exactly the same, you can do a version of this at home. Massage not only helps your quality products penetrate deeper so that you get true bang for your buck, but it brings blood to the surface and softens up tension in the face so that important muscles can do their thing and let your natural bone structure shine. It’s not just the amazing treatments, potions, and balms, but more about how they are applied. Have you ever noticed that after a great facial, you look more chiseled and awake? Your eyelids are perky, your cheekbones poppin’. It will deepen the use of bronzer or blush so that you can use less with a more architectural effect. You don’t need to blind anyone with an ultra-statement reflective highlight, but a soft, dewy look will go a long way when applied to your upper cheekbones and brow bones. ![]() Going for a feline eye and angling up for a more dramatic effect can also elongate the line of your cheekbones, especially if you pair this trick with our bronzer suggestion. Use Liner Only on the Top Lash LineĮyes that pop will slim down the rest of your face, so go for a liner applied only on the top lash line (on the bottom lash line will make your eyes appear smaller or closer together). You don’t necessarily need to go for shock or surprise with the final finish, but the shape of your brows has the power to drastically change your look. Natural brows are very in, but try playing around with the arches in how you pencil them in and brush them up. Go for More Angular BrowsĪ higher arch can give the shape of your face a slimmer, more elongated look. You can even apply a light layer of bronzer just under the jawline to create the illusion of a shadow, aka a little more chin definition if that’s your worry zone. This creates a more chiseled appearance, as well as adds depth to your look. Keep the color just under the cheekbone, and swipe out to the middle of the ear and blend. ![]() Red blush, especially applied to the apples of your cheeks, can round out the face in a child- or doll-like way. Use a bronzer or a blush with more brown tones. But a little strategic application of the right blush tones in the right place can make a big difference. If going full contour on the daily isn’t your thing, we hear you. While the camera may not always capture your true essence, there are ways to combat puffiness and tricks of the makeup trade to make your face look sculpted without undergoing the knife or needle. We apply that finishing swipe of subtle highlighter and feel a quick flash of confidence before stepping out … just to be tagged in a photo later that feels like someone cruelly photoshopped in an extra chin.
