9 tricks and 2 minutes: this is how you achieve an optically slimmer look

When we find ourselves in situations where we need to be at our best and therefore only have a few minutes, what can we do then? Here are the most effective tricks to help you look phenomenal in minutes.

Here is 9 effective tricks, who work miracles!

Choose the right footwear.

To make your legs look longer and your body slimmer, try leather-colored shoes. So choose beige, nude, brown or whatever color is closest to the color of your legs. If you wear pants or tights, choose a color similar to the color of your pants. This trick works because it adds length to your legs and instantly makes you look a few inches taller.
It's also a good idea to avoid shoes with straps around the ankles, as they visually shorten the legs.

Choose shoes that are closest to your skin color or the color of your pants.

Get rid of clothes that are too small or too big for you.

Don't buy things that are smaller or larger than your size. Such clothes will only emphasize your flaws and optically add a few kilograms. Your clothes should fit you, while hiding what you want to hide and emphasizing what you want to emphasize.

Always keep straight.

Good posture can do wonders. It also optically narrows your waistline. Crouched posture not only makes you look smaller and wider, it can also cause health problems. To avoid this, always keep straight and slightly tense your buttocks. Imagine that you have a thread above your head that is pulling you up.

Learn basic shading techniques.

Shading can optically narrow your face and hide your chin. First of all, you need to learn how to use dark and light shades correctly. The key is to remember to lighten what you want to highlight and darken anything you want to hide. It is also important to remember the order of application - light tones first and then darker ones. Of course, do not forget that the transition must be invisible. Otherwise, always use lighter make-up with caution - red lipstick, for example, emphasizes the chin and jaw lines.

Your skin tone should be slightly darker.

Your skin is darker, cellulite is less visible, and we are also optically slimmer. Do not expose yourself to the sun's rays and use a tanning cream instead. First, clean your skin and exfoliate your body. Moisturize your skin with a special cream, if you have dry skin, use a smooth sponge instead of scrubbing. Moisturize the skin several times. Pay attention to your knees and elbows.

Choose the right fabrics.

Do not buy clothes that are made of coarse materials. Avoid square silhouettes and angular lines, as they draw attention to problem areas. Choose clothes made from smooth and flexible fabrics to cover imperfections.

Choose the right fashion accessories.

Tight scarves and turtleneck sweaters overload your entire look. You can simply wrap the scarf and tuck it under your belt, for example. Otherwise, sweaters with a round or V-neck are best. Also leave 2 to 3 buttons open around the neck. Long thinner necklaces and smaller earrings are also great choices as they will elongate your neck and accentuate your cleavage.

Don't highlight your problem areas.

Sometimes women cover up their problem areas too much. This in turn has the opposite effect, as these areas attract the most attention.
