How to disguise a second chin with makeup
Fortunately, some simple but effective makeup techniques can help you hide it.

A second chin is not only an aesthetic flaw but also a factor that can visually add a few years to your appearance. Fortunately, several simple but effective makeup techniques can help you hide it. This is what Obozrevatel writes about.

The triangle trick:

  • Method: Creamy contouring two shades darker than your skin.
  • Technique:
    1. Draw a line along the jaw to visually define its lower border.
    2. From the edges of the chin, lower two lines to the center of the neck so that they connect and form a triangle.
    3. Fill this triangle with contouring, blend well, and set with translucent powder.

Trick with a crease:

  • Product: Contouring stick.
  • Technique:
    1. Press the chin to the neck to create a crease.
    1. Contour all the skin that has gathered in this crease.
    2. Blend the product well in a circular motion towards the edge of the jaw to create a visual angle.
    3. Do not use a shade that is too dark to create an unnatural shadow.

Use cool colors:

Regardless of your natural skin color, choose contouring in cool shades. They are more effective at masking problem areas.

Avoid shimmering and highlighting:

Highlighter and shimmering bronzer highlight the areas where they are applied, making them more visible. So avoid using them on areas you want to conceal.

Emphasize the high points:

  • Visually tightening the upper part of the face will help to distract attention from the lower part of the face.
  • Highlight the nose, cheekbones, and forehead with a highlighter.
  • Apply blush to the highest point of the cheekbones.

Focus on the eyes:

  • Draw attention to the eyes to draw attention away from the second chin.
  • Make your favorite spectacular eye makeup.
