An oversized nose, a large round face, a jutting chin… The close-up effect tends to increase facial volumes.
The trick that always works? « contouring ». A new beautystas fad (favored by Kim Kardashian, the selfie queen), this technique allows to cheat on face volumes by playing with shadows and lights.
Concretely, you can reduce a « large nose», enhance cheekbones or create hollow cheeks with this powder duo that models the structure of your face without going under the knife.
How to do it: place yourself under a lamp. Apply the darker hue on the areas that naturally appear in the shadow (top of the forehead, sides of the nose, cheek hollows, along the jaws) the lighter nuances on light areas to bring more light and showcase your assets (middle of the forehead, between the eyebrows, along the bridge of the nose, top of the cheekbones, top of the chin).
Also think of taking your photo from above and in three-quarter pose. More flattering, this framing avoids double chins and opens the gaze.
