Makeup is amazing. Not only can it be used to emphasise your best features but it can also change the appearance of your face. If you feel you have a round face and want it to appear slimmer, just how can makeup help you do that? Well, it just so happens that we’ve pulled together some top tips to help you create the illusion of a thinner face. From contouring to cat’s eyes, this blog is the one stop shop to help you step out in confidence!

1) Highlighter

Highlighting works by taking attention away from the wider areas of your cheeks and is a speedy way to make your face look slimmer. The best way to do this is to apply highlighter down the centre of your face, including the nose. Work your way down your face, starting in between your eyebrows. Then, apply highlighter to the bridge of your nose, just above your lips, and finish by placing on the middle of your chin – et voila! Want more inspo on highlighting tips and tricks? Check out this amazing blog from Pop Sugar. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

2) Contour

Contouring can take a little while so isn't likely to be something you will do everyday. But if you have a special occasion coming up or find that you do have a bit more time on your hands when getting ready – this will work amazingly to make your face appear slimmer. The best way to do this is by using a darker colour to the sides of your face to make them recede, and emphasise the features you want to stand out by using a lighter colour. Read this blog from Teen Vogue to find out more!

3) Emphasise your eyes

Emphasising your eyes is another trick which helps to draw attention away from the wider parts of your face. Add highlighter underneath your brow bone and the corner of your eye and use an eyeshadow shade that's flattering to your colouring. Make sure you cover up any dark circles so that you’re not drawing attention to your eyes for the wrong reasons though!

4) Feline eyes

We love cat's eye makeup and the good news is that they are always in fashion, and it's a style that will help girls who want to make their face seem slimmer. This works as the 'cat's eye' sweeps upwards drawing attention to the outer corner of the eye and thus away from the side of the face where it is widest. Want to try cat's eyes at home? Then we have just the blog for you!

Guide to Intimate Waxing

What can you have:

There are several different treatments available to keep your intimate areas groomed and gorgeous.

Bikini Wax

Bikini  Waxing- £10
The best way to think of this is that any cheeky hairs that would be on show if you wore of a pair of bikini bottoms are removed. This is a great starting point if you a waxing virgin. A quick tidy that will make sure you are only showing what you want to when on the beach!

Brazilian Waxing-£20
This treatment was first sported by the sexy ladies in Brazil who spend far too much time in Bikinis!  A Brazilian Wax removes all the hair from the initmate area (thats right- underneath too!) and leaves a tiny thin strip of hair at the front around 1 inch thick. Chic, stylish and a must have for any well groomed woman to look and feel their best top to tail.

Brazilian Wax

Hollywood Waxing-£25
Hollywood Waxing is the most daring look of all. With every bit of hair removed, front, back and underneath this is a a huge growing trend in waxing. Clients who sport this look love the clean, silky smooth feel only a great Hollywood Wax will give.

Why have intimate waxing?

Waxing is quick, clean and hygenic long lasting hair removal. Keeping regular appointments for waxing means hair regrowth is finer and slower.

Who does intimate waxing?

Beauty Therapist qualified to NVQ level3 can do intimate waxing though it is often a good idea to go to a therapist who has done a specialist additional training course. Warm or Hot Wax can be used dependant on the individual therapists preference, both have different benefits and both give excellent results if used correctly.

Hollywood Wax

What happens in a waxing treatment?

You will be asked to change into disposable underwear and the therpaist will wait outside while you are getting ready. You will also be provided with some baby wipes at this point if you want to freshen up a little.

You therapist will then clean the area to be waxed with a prewax solution and pop on some talc powder.

Wax is then applied in small sections to the excess hair and removed quickly and with minimal discomfort.

The therapist will ask you to help the process by holding the skin and positioning the legs correctly- don’t worry your modesty is kept in tact at all times!

You will then be advise on the best way to care for the area between waxes and your next appointment made for 3-4 weeks time. At Beauty Define I have been trained by Kim Lawless, also known as the wax queen, the best training for intimate waxing.
