1. Focus on the jawline
As the double chin is around the jawline, you need products to chisel it and create an illusion of it being toned. You can do that opting for a contour palette that will make your jawline appear supermodel-like. Contour your face just below the chin, making a triangular shape on both sides and blending it downwards for a subtle shadow. You also need to contour your neck so that your face, chin and neck are blended.

2. Choose the right texture and formula
Always opt for a matte textured bronzer or contour sticks; they are easier to blend across your face, unlike a shimmer which accentuates your double chin. Foundation sticks in darker tones can also do the trick as they are great for contouring when you want a precise chisel.
3. Bold lips
What you choose for your lips goes a long way — to how you want your chin to look. Opt for bolder, brighter colours like dark red, browns, and maroons. You can also choose shimmery lip glosses. The trick is to take the focus away from your chin.

4. Cheek and eye makeup
Another cool trick to divert the attention is getting the focus on your eyes and cheeks using some blush and pairing it with some fun eye makeup to add a flush of colour.
5. Show off that neckline
Show off your neckline, collarbones, and chest using a highlighter. This will also help you blend in the bronzer you have used to hide that double chin to make the entire camouflage more natural-looking.
