Lose the baggage. Instead of investing thousands in cosmetic surgery to rid yourself of unwanted under-eye baggage, just brush on a satiny shade of powder and blend it into the creases in your eyes. Darker colors create depth, which will distract from the baggage.
Perception is everything. Since fitness tends to be a work in progress, use a self-tanner cream or spray on your body to give the illusion of tone. While it won't work magic, it will certainly complement the tone you are working towards.
Cheeky cheeks. A soft brushstroke of bronzer just below the cheekbones creates a slimming definition for the face.
Pumped up. We all love the beauty of well-defined biceps. Just before hitting the scene do 20-30 reps of your favorite (or perhaps least favorite) strength training arm exercise. The weight resistance will flood the muscles with blood leaving you with the well-defined muscles that are oh so pretty in your new chemise.
Pearly whites. Wear a coral or pink tinted lipstick to bring out the natural whiteness in your pearly whites.
