Chin and Jaw line: How to contour the face, and take off the weight!

Weather you're just the right size, or carry a bit of extra weight, this tip is a must!  Even if I don't put on any other makeup, I still do this:

Apply some bronzer under the chin and lower jaw.  This area doesn't get any sun because its shaded by our face.  By creating a shadow with bronzer, you contour your face from your neck, making it appear thinner and more defined.

Go a bit further by applying bronzer under your cheeks.  Look in the mirror and find a natural shadow (or create one if you don't have it) looking at an imaginary line between your ear and your mouth.  Dim the lights a bit if you're having trouble finding it-make sure the lights are coming from above your head.  By applying bronzer under the cheeks, you create a contoured look, and a perfect space for a bit of color on the cheeks!



See how the contouring diagram matches up perfectly with the model?  Its easy to do!  Get in there and emphasize your body's natural shadows.
