Strategically applied bronzer can create a flattering illusion that shaves off pounds -- no sweat required.
"Women of all skin tones can use bronzer on the jawline and neck to look thinner and more feminine," says Duke. "Sweep bronzer along the jawline to soften it, and down onto the throat for a slimmer face. Use it on either side of the neck as well, and highlight down the front of the neck to lengthen." Try Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette, $46.
You can use a similar technique to slim the nose, as seen here on Kimora Lee Simmons. Spotlighting the cheekbones with a shimmery warm color can also create a more svelte appearance. Try Too Faced Sun Bunny Bronzer, $30, used with the Too Faced Retractable Bronze-Buki Brush, $34.
