Brilio.net - Makeup techniques are now not just about beautifying, but can also create the illusion of a different face shape, including making a chubby face look slimmer without the need for fillers. Through the play of shading, highlighting, and choosing the right colors, facial features can be transformed to be more defined and proportional. The result is that the cheeks look slimmer, the jaw is more defined, and the overall appearance of the face looks more dimensional.
One of the keys to slimming chubby cheeks is the contouring technique, which is to give shadows in certain areas such as under the cheekbones, the sides of the nose, and the jawline. With this trick, the parts of the face that you want to "disguise" can appear more sunken in, while the highlights will draw attention to the parts of the face that you want to highlight. This technique is often referred to as "filler-style" makeup because it can give an instant effect without the need for medical action.
Interestingly, this technique can be adjusted to each face shape, so the results remain natural and not excessive. It is no wonder that many people now rely on makeup as a practical solution to appear more confident, especially when they want to attend important events or appear in front of the camera.
This transformation from a chubby face to a slim one was once shared by a makeup artist on the TikTok account @preciousmakeupacademy.
Through one of the videos she uploaded, she shared a transformation of a chubby-cheeked woman who became slimmer after being given glamorous makeup.

As reported by briliobeauty.net from TikTok @preciousmakeupacademy on Wednesday (16/4), initially, the video showed the bare face of a woman with chubby cheeks. With a face without makeup, her skin looked quite clean. There were even no pimples on her face.
Shortly after, the MUA immediately applied a primer as skinprep. Then she chose a foundation with a light color to make her appearance brighter. Don't forget, contour is an important part that is applied to give a slim jaw effect like a filler.

The lower cheekbones and jawline are contoured with a darker, matte shade, creating a shadow that adds dimension and disguises volume to the area. Proper contouring along the jawline also helps to create sharper definition, creating a slimmer look.
In addition to contouring, highlighting techniques also contribute significantly to the effect of a slimmer face. Areas such as the upper cheekbones, bridge of the nose, center of the forehead, and chin are highlighted with brighter, shimmery products. Highlights on the cheekbones accentuate the bone structure and draw attention upward, creating the illusion of higher, lifted cheeks. Likewise, highlights on the bridge of the nose give the impression of a sharper nose and a more proportional face.

Other details in the makeup also support this glamorous look and slimming effect. The use of blush with the right color, applied above the cheekbones and slightly pulled towards the temples, can give dimension and freshness to the face without adding a full impression to the cheeks. Well-defined and slightly raised eyebrows also play a role in framing the face and giving a more lifting impression.

Overall, the transformation of the face from looking chubby to looking slimmer through makeup is the result of a combination of contouring techniques, highlighting, and strategic application of blush and eyebrow shaping. The play of light and shadow created by these makeup products gives a new dimension to the face, resulting in a more sculpted and glamorous look, as if fillers had been applied to the cheeks and jawline.
