Do you know contouring? Fine. But do you already know this trick? With just one move, the chin and jaw can appear significantly tighter and narrower in five seconds. We’ll explain how here.
Define, accentuate, highlight: Contouring has been a popular make-up trend for years. And especially because technology can change our face in a matter of seconds. While a few extra kilos and flab on the stomach or thighs must be fought with discipline, a healthy diet and regular exercise, a small double chin and round, chubby cheeks only require a make-up product and the right technique . With this you can slim down your chin and jaw in no less than five seconds. That’s how it works ….
This is the only place you really need to emphasize when contouring
Regardless of whether it is high cheekbones, prominent jaw areas and a narrow bridge of the nose: In order to visually model the face according to our wishes, we have always painted a whole map of light and dark tones on our face in order to visually highlight areas with the play of light and shadow To let it fade into the background or to highlight certain facial features. But you can save a lot of product, especially when it comes to double chins and jaws! Because in this area there is only one place that you really need to emphasize when contouring: the jawbone. The “jawline arch” is the curvature from the lower jaw toward the ear and plays a large role in whether facial features are perceived as narrow and defined. The more stretched the skin is over the arch, the more defined the face looks.
Bye, bye double chin: With this hack you will get firmer facial features in no time
Is that less the case for you? No problem, because of course the Internet has long since discovered a super simple hack that cheats what isn’t there in no time. Namely, shadows. To do this, place some of your contouring product – creamy contour pencils are best suited here – behind the vertical line of your jawbone and blend the dark product about halfway down your neck. You pull the excess very close along the horizontal part of the lower jaw.
In this way, you visually create a darker right angle around the Jawline Arch, which is reminiscent of a natural shadow of a prominent bone. And bang! Suddenly the game seems much more defined. The positive side effect: Not only does the jaw appear more chiseled, but the chin can also be visually narrowed and appear more pointed. The appearance of a typical double chin fades into the background. Well, who says?
