If you want to mask a double chin, start by applying a darker color under the jaw line. Continue it all the way to the back of the neck to avoid striping. A liquid may be too difficult to blend; using a light bronzing powder or a neutral color blush applied with a good brush is easiest. Apply a highlighter above the jaw line to catch light, while the deeper color beneath enhances the shadow effect.

The brush you use is of equal importance to avoid the obvious make-up lines and demarcations. Choose a large, soft brush for application under the jawline, a smaller one is fine for highlighting.
