Look Slimmer in Your Next Photo

From Jennifer R. Scott, About.com GuideOctober 10, 2007

Follow me on:

I am having my photo taken in a week and I am dreading it. I hated having my pic taken 10 pounds ago... 20 pounds ago... and I'm not too fond of it now, either. So, I am trying out some "look slim" tricks in the meantime to see what I can do. Check out the ideas that I'm giving a whirl:

  • Wrap dresses and wrap-style tops seem to make your waist smaller. There are many "faux" wrap styles if you don't like traditional wraps.
  • Wispy bangs, loose curls, and waves will make your face seem slimmer if it's a bit too round.

  • Chunky highlights, volume at the crown and off center parts will elongate your face.

  • Taupe eyeshadow along your jawline will detract from a "jowly" appearance. It will also help your neck if your swipe it down your throat.

  • Applying blush just below the cheekbones causes the illusion of shadow...voila!, instant cheekbones.

  • V-neck tops slim both the neck and bust area.

There is of course the option of PhotoShopping myself onto a supermodel's body... think anyone would notice?
