Fill in your brows
We’ve said this before and we’re saying it again—filling in your brows whether you have an angular face or not is a makeup tip you must put to use. But if you do want a more sculpted look, you ought to rely on an eyebrow pencil. We suggest going for high arched brows—draw them in such a way that they look thicker yet the arch is sharp. This will shift the focus from your round face and highlight your brows instead.

Apply blush correctly
Yes, we know you’ve always applied blush on the apples of your cheeks but to make your face slimmer, change that up just a wee bit. Firstly, choose paler tones of blush. Opting for bright pinks and oranges will only accentuate the roundness of your face and worse, target your chubby cheeks. While you choose a subtle toned blush, make sure you sweep it from the cheekbone to the middle of the ear till the temples so there’s definition to your face. We promise—some of your fave supermodels are addicted to this makeup tip!

Contouring is the key
If there’s one makeup product that ought to be in your vanity kit in order to make your face slimmer, it is a bronzer or a contouring powder. Not only does that add definition to your face but it also elongates your face giving it the illusion of being thinner. Take the contour diagonally from the centre of your cheek to the ears. The higher you go, the more sculpted your face will look. Sounds easy? Try it to believe it!

Play up the eyes
It’s a simple makeup tip—when you make your eyes look bigger, you face starts looking smaller and angular. So go all out with an eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow so that your eye makeup is the first thing that catches everybody’s attention. We suggest you try a winged eye and go for a colourful mascara for that pop of colour on your eyes.

Don’t miss out on highlighter
When you play with light, you automatically shift focus from the width of your face to the highlighted areas. Highlight the high points of your face where light would hit directly and make sure you don’t forget the centre of your chin—a trick that will surely help you achieve that sculpted look you always wanted.
