hello (✿◠‿◠)

If you are tired of dealing with a bloated and puffy face I highly recommend using slimming sheet masks, a slimming face band, different makeup techniques, or a face massage tool!~

I remember watching BubzBeauty in 2012 and I saw she posted a video and blog post about slimming your face down and reducing puffiness, ever since I have been inspired to try out many different products and see how they work for myself. I love my naturally chubby cheeks but getting rid of bloating will reveal your more natural shaped and contoured face structure!

I have had very good luck and I would love to share the most effective way to achieve a more sharp face! Here are my favorite products to use:

Please keep in mind that healthy dietary habits make all of this more effective, drinking lots of water or even green tea not only makes you feel great but helps with bloating for a slimmer face.

Diamond V Mask

I have been using this for about 3-4 years and it has caused a dramatic change to my face shape.

It lifts, slims down, and moisturizes your face. It is the holy grail of face slimming masks in my opinion! Although it can be pricey at anywhere from $23-$30 (which typically comes with 4 sheet masks and one band) you have to continuously buy sheets whenever you are out. I purchase mine from either Ebay or Amazon! 

Start with a clean face! You simply wrap one of the sheets you purchased around your jawline and your under chin area. secure the band comfortably but it should feel tight. The mask will make your face feel warm but it should not be painful at all. You will leave it on for 30-40 minutes and when you take it off just massage the essence into your face until it is absorbed! The package you purchase will come with a measuring tape which you can use to measure the difference the mask has made.

NOTE: You will get more noticeable results when you use this mask often and keep good dietary habits

Gua Sha

I have also been using my Gua Sha for 3-4 years. This is actually a very effective and relaxing way to reduce puffiness and bloating to the face. The price varies but they are very cheap! I purchase mine on Ebay but there are many places to purchase them,

Gua Sha is a small massage tool, you start with a clean face before using it! You will need any kind of oil or moisturizer for your face, anything to make it slippery. You will start at your chin and firmly make your way up your jaw and once you get to the end of your jaw bring it down your neck. Repeat this process for a few minutes and move onto the other side of your jaw and do the same thing for a few minutes!

This improves your blood circulation and drains excess lymphatic tissue! I typically notice a difference afterwards, and I will do this before bed or when I wake up in the morning daily!

Missha Near Skin Ultimate Lifting Patch V Shaping Mask

This is an amazing cheaper alternative to the Diamond V mask. I purchased mine on Ebay for $12.99 here. This has to be one of my favorite purchases for face slimming. 

Each package you purchase has one, one time use sheet. When you open the package you will find a folded up sheet and you will unfold it and remove the cover to reveal the gel-like mask (be careful that they do not get stuck to each other!)

The outside of the sheet has a fabric like material and the inside is a cold gel-like sheet that has two holes to secure it on your ears, it will go across your jawline. Before use, wash your face and use toner preferably. They say to use it for 15-20 minutes but I am a rebel so I typically stretch the time to 40 minutes. For more information about the ingredients or mask in general you can visit their website here!

Holika Holika Before & After Mask Sheet

Not only are these masks adorable but they are also extremely cheap! I purchased mine on Ebay here for $4.09. They are a full sheet face mask with holes for your mouth eyes and nose, you will leave it on for 5-10 minutes! I am currently using the "Before Mask Sheet-Office Attendance" this is for swelling relief and I absolutely love it, I will use it in the morning after I wash my face and have water or green tea. Toning your face before use also makes it more effective! They have tons of different masks with many different uses such as Before Bedtime (relaxing), Before Interview (energizing), Before work (V line), Before date (smoothing), After workout (soothing), After drinking (refreshing), After travel (brightening), After studying (clearing), After overtime (vitalizing), and After spa (pore minimizing). The packages are adorable and I highly recommend you check them out!

Make Up!

Contour & highlight can make a very big difference in face shape. After I prime my face, apply foundation or bb cream, concealer, and powder I will start my highlight and contour routine. I use My Sculpted Face by IT cosmetics! I will apply a medium brown shade to the sides of my jawline, under my chin, and under my jawline but not the point of my chin. I will blend it downwards and then move onto contouring under my cheek bones and sides of nose/under tip of my nose and blend. I use white powder from the Sculpted Face palette and highlighter on my chin my cheekbones and straight down my nose and the tip of my nose! Experiment with different ways to contour & highlight for your achieved look!

Have a lovely day, good luck! Thank you for visiting~
