Makeup Hacks To Hide A Double Chin

Many consider a double chin not just a flaw but a mark on their face that ruins their perfect pictures and causes insecurities. While weight can be a factor leading to the formation of a double chin, it can also be rooted in genetics or face shape. However, why should you beat yourself up and spend a ton of money on surgery when you can just control it? Makeup offers a rather cheaper substitute for surgeries. While it is, admittedly, only a short-term fix, cosmetics can give you the flawless, glam look that gives you confidence in yourself. Here are a few ways to manage your features like a pro:

Avoid Shimmers

The lipstick shade

The shade of lipstick you choose for your look has a significant impact on how you look. Your lipstick color and tone greatly affect how your chin looks to the rest of the world. Consider wearing brighter, bolder colors like maroon, dark red, and brown to prevent drawing attention to your double chin. If bright hues aren’t your flavor, try shimmering lip glosses. The key objective is to get them to look at your gorgeous lips instead of your double chin.
