Does Your Makeup Make You Look Fat?

Special Offer

Eyes

"Make your eyes look gigantic," says Valerie Sarnelle, creator of Valerie Beverly Hills cosmetics. "The bigger and wider they appear, the slimmer the rest of your face gets," she says. False eyelashes applied to the outer corners of your eyes help, as does extra mascara (but not on lower lashes, as this can enclose the eyes).

Tip: Well-groomed brows add definition and interest to the center of your face and take the focus off the perimeter.
