Got a photo shoot or other big event like that wedding that is just two weeks away and no time to lose all the weight you wanted? Fortunately, there are many face and body makeup tricks that can be utilized to help you appear slimmer and more toned, just in time for your special event. Starting with the face, the two most important items you will need to create a slimmer appearance are bronzer and highlighter. Bronzer is a great face and body makeup that adds definition to cheekbones and eyes, which can elongate your face and give it that sunkissed look. Apply bronzer just below your cheekbones, then apply highlighter directly above the cheekbones and on eye lids in order to provide a contrast of color and shadow. Highlighter works by giving your face a soft glow, while the bronzer makes cheeks appear slimmer and more elongated.

You can also wear makeup on your legs, arms and the rest of your body in order to give the illusion of a leaner and more toned body. Start out by applying a generous amount of body lotion of moisturizer to your legs, preferably something with a shimmery or bronze tint that will accentuate your legs. A self tanner or tinted moisturizer is great for hiding flaws such as veins, dark spots and stretch marks, and you can also dust a shimmer powder over your calves and thighs when done. Some people use face and body makeup to airbrush their arms and abdomens in order to create actual muscle lines and ripples, but it is recommended that you get this done professionally in order for it to look more believable.
