The best way to get rid of a double chin is usually through diet and exercise, but if you're short on time and need quick results, there are many things you can do to quickly hide your double chin or make it smaller.

Step

Method 1 of 4: Using the Right Clothes and Accessories

Step 1. Choose clothes with low or wide collars

A high collar will cover your neck and face, and as a result, also tends to draw more attention to your double chin. Stay away from the eyes of the double chin by choosing a short v-shaped collar and another collar that has the same style. The idea is to keep the collar of your shirt as far away from the chin as possible.

If you're wearing a button-down shirt, leave two or three buttons unbuttoned.
Collars with very short slits are better than wide collars because the eyes will focus more on your cleavage and take the view away from your chin. If a very low-cut collar isn't comfortable for you, a wide collar like a square collar is also a better choice than a tall collar.

Step 2. Avoid long, dangling earrings

Small dangling earrings are still allowed, but when you wear large earrings that end around your jaw, you'll end up with the gaze of the other person looking at your jaw who will also focus on your chin.

The right earrings can help distract from your chin. Wear small types of earrings with different styles. Small earrings can add a touch of sparkle or large earrings can draw attention to your eyes and upper cheeks

Step 3. Choose necklaces and scarves that can distract

Adding too many accessories to the neck can accentuate your double chin, but if you opt for a long necklace and a light scarf, you can divert attention to the area around your chest. People tend to focus on the ends of your accessories, so the longer your necklace or scarf, the more opportunity to distract from your chin.

Avoid chokers or other necklaces with short chains. A long necklace with beads hanging above the chest is a good choice, especially if the beads start small at the neck and get larger at the bottom of the chain.
If you choose a scarf, choose a scarf with a simple pattern or color and stick to a light material, such as chiffon. Avoid heavy and bulky scarves.

Step 4. Use a long tie instead of a bow tie

For men with double chins, choosing the right tie for an event can make a big difference. A bow tie will tie your neck and draw attention to the area under your face. A long tie, on the other hand, draws attention to the bottom and away from your chin.

Generally, you'll want to stick to a standard length tie rather than a smaller one. A standard long tie makes your features appear more balanced, while a smaller long tie can make your face, chin and neck look bigger

Method 2 of 4: Trick Your Eyes With Make-Up

Step 1. Do the contour

Contouring is the art of applying different colors to liquid powder by tricking the eye into seeing false shadows and lines on your face, and will change the overall shape of the face.

Use a liquid powder that matches your skin tone all over your face, from the hairline on your head to your neck. Flatten well.
Choose a second liquid powder that is two shades darker than your skin. Use this liquid surgery on your chin and jawline. Use a liquid powder brush, pat it in, or use your fingers to blend it well.

Step 2. Apply bronzer

Choose a bronzer that is not shiny and apply it on your neck, around the base of the neck and collar. Avoid wearing bronzer on your chin.

Avoid bronzers that have a shimmer as they tend to make them look unnatural.
If you use bronzer on your cheeks, use the same color for your neck. Doing this will make you look more natural.

Step 3. Keep your lips looking natural

When using lipstick and lip gloss, choose a “natural” color or a subtle color. Since your lips are close to your chin, drawing attention to your lips can also draw attention to your chin.

Use a moisturizing lip balm, then layer a natural lipstick color or lip gloss on top.
Dull colors are preferred over glossy and shimmery colors.
If you want to give your lips a little more attention, you can line the lips with lip liner before applying the natural color of lipstick or lip gloss. The liner should match the natural color of your lips.

Step 4. Make your eyes stand out

Use eye pencil, eyeshadow, and mascara to draw attention to your eyes. By drawing attention to your eyes, you can take your eyes off your chin.

Color your eyes, but don't overdo it. For the day, use a neutral eyeshadow color, eye pencil, and a light mascara.
For an evening look, you can make your eyes pop by making them more dramatic. Consider using eyeshadow and an eye pencil to create smokey eyes, then finish off your look with two coats of black mascara.

Method 3 of 4: Change Your Hair

Step 1. Cut the hair into a bob

A short bob haircut can have a visual effect on your face. By keeping your hair short, you can reduce the amount of bulk around your chin and neck.

Make sure the haircut you get is not wavy on your chin. Attention will be drawn to the lower part of the wavy hair, and if your stylist cuts it right around your chin, this will draw more attention to your chin.
Long hair can also work well as long as they aren't too tight around the neck. If you want to keep your hair long, make sure it's long enough to cover your shoulders.
Everyone's features are different, so for best results, talk to your stylist about the best haircut to cover your double chin.

Step 2. Tie your hair up

If you have long hair, consider keeping your hairstyle dense at the top of your head instead of falling under your chin.

Stacking your hair on the top of your head will draw attention to the top of your face. As a result, your face and neck will appear longer, and your double chin will be less of a concern

Step 3. Grow a beard on your face

Men have the option of hiding a double chin with a neat beard. Make sure that the beard is neat, trimmed and stylish. A beard on the face is a great way to cover a double chin, but a rough, unruly beard can backfire and make your overall appearance look untidy.

You can still take advantage of this trick even if you don't want a thick beard. Extend your shaving area at the bottom of the neck, positioning and tilting your cut for a sharper shadow. This trick can make your neck appear longer, thereby reducing the visual impact of a double chin

Method 4 of 4: Tricking the Camera

Step 1. Use tools

One of the easiest ways to hide your double chin from the camera is to hide it behind something. This isn't an ideal method, but if someone is taking your picture and you don't have time to get ready, it's one of the quickest ways you can do it.

Place your hands in front of the bottom of your face, just below your mouth and chin.
Hide behind someone who is tall so that the person's shoulders can cover the lower half of your face and neck.
Use other tools available that are large enough to cover your chin without appearing unnatural.

Step 2. If you are comfortable with close-up photos of your entire face, ask the person to take a photo of you with the camera as close to your face as possible

Your face should be in the center of the frame, and the rest of it should be cropped. If you take a picture where you can see the top of your head and beyond the sides of your face, cropping your chin in the photo will look like a bad job or an obvious act of hiding something

Step 3. Look at the camera with your eyes

Position your face so that your eyes are level with the camera. Tilt your head up and to the left or right to help hide your double chin.

It's a good idea to always control your jaw and neck muscles. Do this by pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth. You won't be able to smile widely, but you should still be able to keep it looking like a natural smile.
You can also make your neck look longer by sliding or pushing your shoulders back slightly.
Another trick to make your head tilt pose look natural is to stand next to someone tall. In such circumstances, tilting your head will look like you are just trying to improve the overall composition of the photo.

Step 4. Edit photos carefully

Editing digital photos can mask or change anything, and double chin is not an exception to this rule. Editing photos well is harder than it looks. You can minimize the appearance of your double chin in a photo, but if you try to completely remove it from the photo, your deception will be very obvious.
