If you are on your way to shedding those extra pounds, you can still look and feel your best. There are ways to look slimmer while waiting to achieve your desired weight and body shape.
Here are some tips that you can follow to look slimmer.
Your mind
Let us start out with the first basic rule to looking slimmer; your mind and the way you perceive yourself. Walking around feeling like a fat failure will do you no good and get you nowhere! You need to love and accept yourself! Try to look at the mirror and find at least 3 things that you love about yourself.
Your face
If you want to make your face look narrower, use a bronzer to bring out your bone structure. Lightly brush around the hairline, along the tops of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and a touch on the chin; think of the spots where the sun would hit your face and "highlight" the contours. Hair styles can completely change one's appearance. Wear a straight long hairdo instead of a long, wavy hairdo. Using layers, highlights and other enhancing features can help create a slimmer look in your face.
Legs
If you have pale skin, self-tanner can work wonders! However, do not overdo it! Your skin tone has to look natural; so, going from a pale skin tone to a very dark skin tone will look peculiar! To avoid the tanner from blotching in the thicker, rough patches of skin, (for example: the knees and the ankles), use a damp towel in these areas for an even and flawless finish. Wear pants made of heavier fabric; they will not cling to your body and it will hide the flaws. Wearing high heels can also enhance your overall appearance. Pointed toe shoes make you look slim; whether they are flats or heels, they allow the length of your pants to flow to a point.
Stomach
To make you stomach look slimmer and sexier, you should avoid wearing very tight fitted clothes that will squeeze your waist and magnify the size of your belly. Wearing over sized clothes will only make you look larger than what you really are. To look sleek and sexy, wear perfectly fitted garments. It is also preferable to choose darker shades like black, red, purple and other deep colours to attain a long, slim look. Light shaded outfits can easily exaggerate the size of your belly.
Conclusion
Practice proper posture by standing up straight. It is healthy and it will help elongate your appearance. There are so many different ways to hide those flaws; choosing the proper outfits, hair styles and make-up can help you to look slimmer.
