You may not have a personal trainer or a diet regimen, but with the right makeup tools and techniques, you can still look like you have shed some weight. Here's what I tell my clients:

Use the correct shade of foundation
It's important for women of color, for instance, to begin with a shade that's lighter than their own. When your skin is more oily, the makeup will oxidize and turn darker. So if you begin with a shade that matches your skin, within a half an hour, after the makeup oxidizes, your face is now at least one or two shades darker than the rest of your body. The key is to stay with foundations that have a warm honey tone.

Define cheekbones and hide double chins
You can create shadows by simply using a darker shade of blush or foundation. With a brush, use the thin part to create the chiseling of the cheekbone. Find the correct spot to shade by sucking in your cheeks. Apply the darker shade under your cheekbone. With the same brush and shadow, apply on the edges of a double chin or yawl area. You can also minimize the size of a forehead this way. Just remember that when you are shading, don't stop. Make sure the color is blended.
