Women who have a round face type look beautiful like Chinese dolls. But if your cheekbones are less visible, you can do a number of things to make them appear more prominent. Although basically you should be proud of your appearance, but if you want your face to look thinner, follow the following ways to get the appearance you want.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Using makeup
Step 1. Apply bronzer
Bronzer can make your facial lines look thinner. Make sure you choose a bronzer that is a shade darker than your skin tone so that your make-up doesn't look too flashy. Use a good quality brush. Carefully brush bronzer into the hollows of your cheeks, temples, and the edges of your forehead to create the impression of a longer face.
- Sweep bronzer across the top of your cheeks, in line with your upper ear.
- Carefully brush around the top right and left of your forehead to make it less rounded.
- If you want your nose to look longer too, use a bronzer brush that is more pointed. Sweep the bronzer from the sides of your nose to the tips of your eyebrows.
- Also sweep along your jawline with a darker level of shadow under the jawline. Make sure the bronzer blends in with your makeup.
- The most important thing is to blend the blush and highlighter well so that the contours of your face look natural.
Step 2. Use a highlighter
Highlighter, like bronzer, can make your face look thinner too. What needs to be considered is to choose a highlighter that has a color that is a level lighter than your facial skin color. Your skin will appear more prominent without appearing less natural or dramatic. Carefully brush highlighter on the part you want to highlight, for example as in the following image:
- The front of the cheek
- The top of the nose
- and your forehead
Step 3. Highlight your eye makeup
You can do this by using bold eyeshadow, heavy eyeliner, and black mascara. Naturally, people will look you in the eye first before looking at anything else. You can also use concealer under your eyes to make it stand out more. Eye makeup that looks bold is a great way to make your face look slimmer.
To make your makeup stand out more, you can outline the cat's eye by running the eyeliner upwards past the corners of your eyes
Step 4. Curl your eyebrows
Give a dramatic impression to the arch of your eyebrows for a face that looks longer. Even if you don't want to overdo your makeup, still try to arch your eyebrows in the middle. Your thick eyebrows will match your eye makeup. Thin eyebrows will make your face look rounder. Therefore, make sure your eyebrows are thick and arched.
For an even more dramatic makeup, you can fill in your brows with an eyebrow pencil
Step 5. Apply lipstick
Putting lipstick on your lips can make your face look thinner. For added effect you can use a lip liner and draw more lines at the top of your lips to make your face appear longer than it actually is. If you're not used to wearing lipstick, you can use a more subtle color like lip gloss.
Part 2 of 2: Using other means
Step 1. Have the right haircut
Haircuts play an important role in making your face look thinner. If you want to use this technique, you can try some examples of these haircuts:
- Avoid short haircuts (bobs) that are shorter than the top of your ears. Basically this will make your face look rounder.
- If you have bangs, make sure the lines are smooth, not rough cut so that they are straight. Smoother bangs can make your face look thinner.
- Ideally, your hair should be above your shoulders and below your ears. If it is longer, then your hairstyle will make your face less shapely.
- Add a few layers of hair to frame your face. Few layers can make your face look thinner.
- Avoid making your hair look more fluffy. If you have too much hair, your face will look rounder.
Step 2. Have the right hairstyle
Getting the right hairstyle is difficult. If you want to make your face look really slim, you have to have the best hairstyle. There are so many things you can do with your hair, whether it's long or short, to get a slimmer looking face. Here are some hairstyles that you can try:
- Tie your hair high in a ponytail.
- Allow the top to expand a bit to give the impression of a long face if you like.
- Part your hair to the side so that your face doesn't look too symmetrical.
- Other times tie your hair in a low ponytail. This style can make your face look long and thin.
Step 3. Wear the right jewelry
Accessories can help you achieve a slimmer face, especially loose earrings and long necklaces. Choose flashy jewelry. Avoid wide earrings and other jewelry that doesn't make your face look thin.
Step 4. Wear accessories properly
In addition to jewelry, you may also want to wear a tall hat or glasses over your head. You can wear a low-hanging scarf that makes your body and face slimmer. Avoid wearing a scarf that is too tight as it will make your face rounder.
Step 5. Make your face look thinner in the photo
If you want to do this, slightly pout your lips. In this way your mouth becomes more advanced and your face looks thinner. Also try to stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth to avoid a layered chin. Another way is to take pictures from above, you will usually look taller and slimmer.
Step 6. Wear the right clothes
If you want your face to look slimmer, wear the kind of clothes that generally make you slimmer. Choose clothes with solid colors over patterns. If you want to wear striped clothes, choose one that is vertical, not horizontal. Vertical lines will make your face and body longer, not looking fat.
- Choose clothes that reveal your face and neck. Choose an outfit or dress with a V-neck or other similar outfit that shows a bit of your neck and shoulders. If you wear a high-neck top (turtleneck) your face will look rounder.
- Wear long skirts or jeans instead of skirts and shorts that make you look even shorter.
Step 7. Lose weight
Maybe you've heard the term facial gymnastics. But it turns out that its effectiveness for slimming the face is still being debated. Basically, it is not easy to lose weight only in one point of the body. Therefore, if you want to make your face look thinner, you must lose weight overall. Even by just losing a few pounds, your face will look thinner. If you are looking to lose weight then this can be a way for you to slim your cheeks.
- You don't need to go on an extreme diet. Do exercise at least 30 minutes per day. Don't forget to eat three healthy and balanced meals every day including healthy snacks like almonds and grapes.
- Eating foods high in sodium can also make your face look fatter than usual. Therefore, avoid as much as possible high-sodium foods such as potato chips.
- Drinking alcohol can also make your face a little fat. So avoid or limit drinking alcohol if you want your face to look thinner.
- Create a habit to move more. For example, using the stairs instead of the elevator, shopping on foot instead of taking the car. The point is, move as much as you can.
Tips
- Your hair is very important in helping you get a slim face. Therefore, make your hair appear voluminous at the top and thinner layered at the bottom.
- Don't go overboard with makeup as this will make you less attractive.
- Buy lots of dangling earrings, they are very effective!
