Is your makeup making you look heavier?

Wow, lets hope not because that would suck! We all have enough trouble with our weight without making it worse with the very makeup we put on to hide flaws -- not point them out. But it works both ways, and by using makeup strategically you can successfully go the other way and look thinner -- as much as 10 pounds thinner! Blush and shadow placed in the right places, like along double chins and cheekbones, can create definition and help extra flab recede into the background. For tips on how to do it see this article on iVillage -- and let us know how it works. Just make sure to practice and do it correctly, or you could easily end up looking 10 pounds fatter!
