Want a thin, defined face like the divas of the black-and-white film era? Let me tell you: Marlene Dietrich is said to have been a master at using the right lighting to cheat her face slimmer together with the lighting technicians of old Hollywood. A procedure on which the makeup technique of contouring that we know today is based.
What does this anecdote show us? Fortunately, a slim face is not linked to disposition or diet. Everyone can get it, whether through clever tricks or effective products. We have collected the best beauty tips for 2023 below.
1st tip: get the lymph flow and blood circulation going
Rollers for a slim face? Actually works. Because massages with the rose quartz or jade roller stimulate blood circulation and lymph flow, which reduces (morning) swelling and makes the face appear narrower and firmer. The same goes for massage with gua sha stones, which have been used since ancient times in traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate blood circulation and rid the body of toxins.

In general, rose quartz is said to have a purifying and calming effect on irritated skin. Jade stone is said to have a decongestant, but also cleansing and anti-inflammatory effect, which is why it is often recommended for impure skin.
2. Tip: use firming face masks
Cosmetic procedures are not required to tighten the face. Face masks can also achieve great results with regular use. Look out for special “firming masks” that have a gentle lifting effect.
Magistripes’ ‘chin plus cheek lifting mask’ is designed to reduce wrinkles around the chin and cheeks and tighten sagging skin in that area. It has a cooling, decongestant effect and activates the breakdown of fat deposits, which is why the lower half of the face and the cheek area appear tighter and more defined after use. Botox wouldn’t work any better!
Tip 3: start facial workouts with massage tools
Face workout? Does it actually exist? The nuface facial trainer works like a facelift. It emits (completely painless) tiny electrical impulses that stimulate the facial muscles. With daily use, the face should appear significantly tighter and more defined after two months. The good thing: this workout won’t make you sweat, I promise.
4th tip: dare to contour

Contouring isn’t a new beauty trend, but it’s still not being fully realized by many who want to slim their faces. The great respect for the make-up technique is unfounded because it is actually very easy to implement with the right sets of contouring powders or creams.
Contouring means modeling the face with lighter and darker nuances. Say: if the area of the temples and hairline, the lower cheekbones, the sides of the nose, and the jaw line are darkened and the upper cheekbones, bridge of the nose, middle forehead, upper lip line, and the areas just under the eyebrows are emphasized with highlighter, the face appears slimmer and more defined overall.
