To fake a thinner or more angular face, you must learn about contouring.Contouring.This technique uses light and shadow to subtly change your features. To contour like a pro, you need two things. Use a contour powder one to two shades darker than your skin tone. You also need a highlighter that is one or two shades lighter. Use the light shade to push features forward, such as your cheekbones. The dark shade will make certain features look smaller.

Using a contour shade around the jawline shrinks your face visually. Sweep a contour powder or bronzer, one or two shades darker than your skin tone, along and under your jawline. You can even dust some on your neck. Shaded areas look smaller and more chiseled!

Contour alone does not slim a face. Pair it with highlighter. Use highlighter on a slim, angular part of the face.

Dab a luminescent shade above your cheekbones to match the contour and sharpen cheeks. Dust a narrow highlight line down the nose bridge. Highlight under your brow arch and along your cupid's bow. Light hits any spot.

Thick, sharp arches pull eyes up, making the face look longer and thinner. Fill brows with pencil or shadow to show your natural shape. Make a slight brow arch. More angular looks better.

Keep your lips neutral when focusing on dramatic eyes and sharp brows.the lipsKeep lips neutral. You want narrower features and onlookers focused on the upper face. Bold lip color makes people look down and ruins the effect.

Pair nude lipstick with clear lip gloss. Dab gloss in the center of your lips; this creates a highlighter effect!
