Under eye circles can have a very weighty effect on how you look. Try to cover your dark circles with the help of a concealer and blend it into the rest of your face. You can also apply a highlighter on the inner and outer corners of your eyes to make them stand out. This will automatically make your face appear slimmer.

One of the easiest makeup tricks for a thinner face is to apply the bronzer correctly. It lifts weight off your face, and can actually help you look around 10 pounds lighter. Apply the bronzer along your jawline as it will help in defining the area, and create a perfect contour by blending the shade. You’ll never have a double chin in your photos ever again.

Your eyebrows can play a major role in how heavy or thin your face looks. A higher and more pronounced eyebrow arch helps in balancing out a round face.

4. Try Contouring

The larger your eyes appear, the slimmer your face will look. Try playing up your eyes with the help of eyeliner and mascara. Use an eyeshadow that works well with your skin tone. While doing so, keep your lips natural with a swipe of nude lip gloss or tinted balm.
