Latest Best Tips to Hide a Double Chin 2011

When it comes to ways to hide your double chin, there are many ways to go about it. The right makeup, hairstyle and choice of accessories can all make a difference.
Go for a Flattering Hairstyle
If you are wondering how this can help, then let me tell you that hair ending at the neck will attract people’s attention to this area, causing them to focus on your double chin, which you obviously don’t want. When it comes to hairstyles, the objective is to draw attention away from your chin area. So, short hairstyles in which the hair ends just around the earlobes, makes the neck appear longer and minimizes the appearance of a double chin. A good example of a hair cut that you can opt for is a bob cut which not only looks pretty but also makes your face appear slimmer by reducing the effect of a double chin. However, if you love to wear your hair long, then go for hairstyles in which the hair ends below the shoulders or tie your hair up in a bun. If you aren’t able to find out which haircut is the best for this you, you can consult your hairdresser or hair stylist for advice.
Choose the Right Clothes
You must have heard about how different clothes suit different body types. When it comes to hiding a double chin, however, it is not all that complicated! Just wear whatever you love but remember to stay away from certain necklines. Simply put, necklines that draw attention to your neck and chin, should be avoided. This includes high neck shirts and tops, high collar shirts and turtlenecks. You might be thinking that high necks serve to hide the double chin but in fact, they do the opposite. They draw attention to your problem area, thus accentuating the double chin. Instead, you should opt for wider necks such as V-necks, boat necks, low neck shirts, etc. because this way you will successfully draw the eye away from the neck. Also wider necks make your neck appear elongated and more graceful. Another great way to hide a double chin is to use a scarf. Just get hold of one, wrap it loosely around your neck in a loop and walk in style!
Know Your Jewelry
By now, you must be aware of what exactly is the trick that can help hide a double chin. Yes, you’re right! It is the idea of diverting people’s eyes away from your neck and chin. So, applying the same principle to choosing jewelry, we can conclude that dangling earrings that hang just at the neck are a complete no-no. Instead, choose to wear small earrings that are pretty and eye catching. However, when it comes to your necklace, the opposite holds true. While chokers and small necklaces accentuate a double chin, wearing long necklaces can make your neck appear longer, thus making you look graceful and attractive!

You must have heard a lot about the miracles of make-up. Well, now is the time to put it to test and see for yourself if you can indeed create magic with it! To begin with, choose two shades of foundation that are close to your skin tone, one slightly darker than the other. Now, after you’re done with the first layer of foundation using the lighter shade, use a brush to apply the darker shade on your chin and upper neck and blend it to prevent any line appearing between your face and neck. You can even use two shades of blush or powder foundation to create a similar effect. The idea is to give some depth to your chin as this can help the chin appear thinner than it actually is. Well defined eyes help to draw the attention away from the lower part of the face, as does wearing lip color in lighter shades.
