Just when I thought that being healthy and fit was becoming the accepted norm, I see that
I am clearly wrong. Apparently, today's norm requires that you be able to count your chest bones–the more the better. That's right. Forget the days of face lifts, tummy tucks, butt implants or even
the protruding clavicle, which was the accessorie du jour last year. Even the recent
shoulder liposuction trend may soon be passé. It's a sunken, bony chest that really screams, "I'm a skinny bitch!"
But really, who has the time to starve herself into a skeletal oblivion? That takes months. A little trick I learned as an aspiring ballerina is to use makeup to get the thin effect. Sure, it's not quite as great as knowing that your body is eating itself and that your brain is deteriorating with every passing waifish day, but we all have to make sacrifices.
Here's an easy way to look like you've dropped a few pounds without harming your body or working up a sweat:
1. Buy a big, fluffy brush like
Sephora's Professionnel Bronzer Brush #44 ($25) or Sugar Cosmetics Tropic Tan Bronze/Shimmer Duo ($28). Or simply with that trend has died out.
3. Brush the bronzer where you see shadows, such as under the clavicle, just below the jaw line or between the breasts to create depth. Use highlighter on the clavicles or breasts to finish the contouring effect. Be sure to blend.
