Sharp lines can help combat roundness in your face and make your face appear thinner.

When you apply bronzer, blush, and contour to your face, avoid using circular motions with your fingers or brush. Instead, draw the product onto your face using thin, defined lines. Just be sure to blend downward to prevent looking streaky.

2. Highlight Your Center

Highlighting the center of your face can help bring attention to your features and draw the front of your face forward in order to detract from the roundness of your face.

Pink, shimmery highlighters don’t look great when applied to the center of your face, so try a luminescent white, brightening powder instead to highlight the areas underneath your eye and down the center of your nose and forehead.

3. Enhance Your Arch

How you apply product to your eyebrows can make a big difference in how thin your face appears. Eyebrows that have a more intense, defined arch help your whole face look thinner.

When you apply powder or gel product to your eyebrows, concentrate most of the product around the arch of your brows to bring attention to that area and thin out your face. Make sure to blend the product to prevent your eyebrows from looking too dark and witchy.

4. Define Your Eyes

Defining and playing up your eyes to make them look larger can draw attention away from the roundness of your face and make your face look slimmer.

Experiment with smoky eyes and graphic eyeliner designs or winged eyeliner to enhance your eyes in order to make them look wider and your face look thinner.

5. Use Darker Contour

Using contour that is at least two shades darker than your skin tone can help create a larger contrast and have a more dramatic slimming effect on your face.

Make sure that the contour you purchase still matches the cool or warm undertones of your skin to prevent looking orange or discolored. Also, always blend your contour to avoid a blotchy finish.

6. Bronze Your Jawline

Many women with round faces also have a wide, chubby chin. If you want to make your chin appear thinner, try applying bronzer to your jawline to add a slimming effect in that area.

Use a matte bronzer to avoid looking too shimmery around your chin. Sweep the bronzer along your jawline and blend it downward and upward to naturally define and slim your chin.

7. Add Shimmer
