How to look thinner?

Whether you’ve recently put on a few extra kilos you want to camouflage or you’re just paranoid about every extra inch you put on!

No matter how slender we are or how much we work out, most women have an annoying little voice in the back of their heads that says, ‘I wish I was thinner.’ So, here's how to look thinner even if you are not…

Long and short of it: Too-long sleeves create the illusion of serious poundage on your upper body. A good rule of thumb is that your sleeves should end right at your wrist when your arms are hanging by your sides. So if you have tops that hang past that point, bring them in to be shortened.

Define your waist: If your midsection is the problem, don’t resort to oversize tops. They give the illusion that you’re bigger than you are. If you want more variety than belted blouses or empire waists, look for structured button-up shirts and form-fitting dresses.

Pant up: Wear higher-rise and straight-cut pants to prevent your hips from appearing wide. Avoid skinny jeans and jeans that hit your hips. Go for something that has a higher waist, because it won’t create bulges and is more flattering on the butt.

High and Mighty: Heels create good posture and go a long way toward helping you appear slimmer. Begin with a small wedge or chunky heel to elevate yourself slowly. Work your way up to higher heels that you can wear with knee-length skirts and dresses to further define your legs.

Colour and Shape: Solid color draw the eye up and down rather than side to side. As a result, the eye takes in more height than width, causing you to appear thinner and taller. Try wearing a dress in a solid color or a deep blue top with dark wash jeans.

Hairdo: Long hair draws attention away from a full face. Get soft layers, which highlight bone structure, even on a big girl. Another super-slimming trick: volume. Plump up hair with hot rollers or a volumising spray. You could also go for highlights, to make your hair your defining feature. 

Makeup: For makeup, play up your eyes. The larger your eyes look, the more petite your face will seem. Go crazy with smokey eyes and play with your eye shadows as much as you want. Use a natural matte bronze with shimmer which will draw attention to round cheeks and on the bottom jaw line, which will create an illusion of a shadow. Blend outwards toward your chin, this can take several pounds off your face and hide any signs of a double chin.

You might not think that your eyebrows matter, but full, well-groomed brows make a huge difference when you want to slim down your face. They add definition and create “a triangular illusion, keeping the onlooker’s eyes on the center of the face.

Hope these tips work for you.
