If there’s something Kim Kardashian has contributed to the world is the normalization of the contouring makeup technique in our lives. Contouring can help us slim down our features without having to resort to plastic surgery or more invasive techniques, but it requires a lot of knowledge and practice to really create the effect.
So, yeah, it’s a lot of work, but even if you’re not that skilled or a big makeup fan, there are some tricks you can still learn, and one of the easiest is knowing how to style your hair. Take a look at these styles and see for yourself how your face will look slimmer instantly.
Top bun
If you have medium to long hair, this updo can be your best ally. Just tie it all above the crown of your head in a nice knot. It will automatically make your face look more elongated. If you want to slim down your features even more, you can leave some strands loose to frame the face a little bit more.
Half bun
Just like the top bun or top knot, a half bun will help you create an elongating effect on your face. Leaving half of your hair down will add to the effect in a more effective way. You can straighten it for a more sleek style and make your cheeks look slimmer.
Side part
It’s impressive what a difference parting your hair to the side can make. You don’t have to style it in any particular way, just wear it naturally and avoid a straight parting to give some movement to your hair and help you frame your face to make it look slimmer.
Straight middle part
If you want a sleeker and more sophisticated look, you can always straighten your hair and part it on the middle. This will bring some symmetry to your face and help you slim your features.
Braids
You can do two braids or just one, just make sure you start braiding from the top in a French or Dutch braid. These are amazing to make your style look intricate and elaborate and thus help you fade the strong lines of your face.
These styles are so simple and trendy that anyone can really pull them off. Besides that, they won’t take you more than five minutes (way more than trying to figure out contouring).
