Lets face it!  We all want to look our best and as much as I accept my body, I always want to look thinner! As the warmer months approach, and I am wearing less and less clothing, its time to step up, and prep up!  Even though I workout hard and try to eat right, I still have a few favorite products I cant live without that help me be the very best I can be!  Here are my Top 5 ways to make yourself look thinner with these best beauty products!!!

1. Buff Your Body! This is the foundation of feeling confident as we start to show skin for Spring and Summer.  Use a good body scrub and exfoliate your body so it gives that great glow.  Also, if you are wearing short shorts, you want your legs to look there BEST!

2. Love Your Self Tanner! We all know a good tan makes you look slimmer!  I prefer Jergens Glow Lotion in Medium to Deep (Walgreens $10).  It has a nice refreshing scent and you can build the color to any shade you desire.

3. Play Up the Eyes! By playing up your eyes with lots of mascara and a great eyeliner will help draw the attention upwards and balance out the face.

4. Blush UP! Believe it or not…dont skip out on the blush!  Blush helps define your cheek bones.  By choosing a shade such as a rosy peach, you can really create a nice defined look.  Apply the color on the apples of the cheeks and follow upwards in the shape of a “C.” I prefer Constanopole or Orgasm Cream Blush by Nars (Sephora $27).

5. Show Your Version of Kim Kardashian Contour! She has made it part of her signature makeup look!!!  By contouring, you are able to highlight your best facial features.  For cheek contouring, I recommend using Smashbox Bronzer in Bronze Lights (Sephora $28) and apply it right on the cheek bones or just below.  For best results use a “contour brush.” See photo.

Last but not least, although it is not in my top 5, strut yourself in your favorite pair of heels!  Looking taller always will give the illusion that you are a little more slender and have fun out there!!!!!

    Great post! I do most of these things… I’m a bit anxious about using self-tanner (I’ve had bad experiences in the past).

    Cheers!
