If you like the look of your dimpled face but don't have a dimpled face, you can still go for an artificial dimple look. Short-term dimples can be made with bottle caps or makeup, but there's also the option of long-term dimples if you're really interested in keeping them looking long-lasting.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Using Bottle Caps
Step 1. Clean the bottle cap
You can use bottle caps made of metal or plastic, but because the cap will go into your mouth, you have to make sure that the cap is completely clean of germs first.
- The metal bottle cap is more concave and more clearly visible, the artificial dimple looks natural. The teeth can be painful, especially if you have sensitive cheeks.
- Plastic bottle caps come in several different sizes. If you want your dimples to appear bigger, use a soda bottle cap, as this bottle cap is of the deep type. For more details, hold the concave part.
- The solution should contain as much as 1 tsp (5 ml) of salt for every 8 ounces (250 ml) of water. Wet the lid for 15 minutes before cleaning it of dirt, pat dry, and place in your mouth.
- You can clean the bottle cap with soap and water, but make sure all the soap sticks out completely before putting it in your mouth.
- Using this technique, you can only create one dimple. Bottle caps can produce a pair of dimples instantly with great effort.
Step 2. Position the bottle cap on your cheek
Open your mouth wide and insert the bottle cap in, propping the cap between your cheek and teeth. Make sure that the bottle cap opens facing the cheek, not the teeth. It may take some more work before you find the right placement, so give it a try.
If you're having trouble finding the right place to put the bottle cap, take it out of your mouth and smile in the mirror. Pay attention to the outline of your cheeks when you smile. The cap should be placed on the outside of the upper corner of the line on one side of your face
Step 3. Press your cheeks to start
Press your cheeks from the outside in at the same time. Your cheeks should be steady when inserting the bottle cap.
- When it's finished, it's like you hear a sucking sound.
- Be careful doing this so that you don't make a mistake while inhaling and clogging the bottle cap, especially if you are using a small metal bottle cap.
Step 4. Create a style
This artificial dimple technique doesn't really work when you're in front of other people, but if you want to make artificial dimples for photography, do it as you should. Take several pictures from different angles until you look your best in style.
A popular way is to cover your mouth from the bottom and turn your “dimpled” face toward the camera. Smile a little, but don't press from inside your mouth.. This pose really brings out the artificial dimples while hiding the lines or bulges from the bottle cap and it will also fool the fact that you're not smiling as wide as you should be when you have to bring out your natural dimples
Method 2 of 3: Use Eye Shadow or Eye Liner
Step 1. Find the right placement
Dimples can occur naturally outside the corners of the lips or along the cheeks. Find the part you want and predict your best part to make dimples.
- Most natural dimples are found on the outline of a smile. To know where your dimples should be, smile in the mirror and look at the exact creases. Dimples should be outside the crease or somewhere else on your face.
- For dimples that appear outside your lips, smile in the mirror and look for the smallest part, in the crease that forms under your mouth. Artificial dimples can be positioned along the creases that form or on other parts of your face.
- If you're having trouble, you can make small marks using eyeshadow or eye liner. This mark should be as small as possible to prevent it from being seen when it's finished.
Step 2. Draw a comma on the cheek
Take the eye shadow and draw a small comma where you want it. First draw thin; it will be easier to thicken rather than thin out the dimples later.
- Use a dark brown color for best results. Make sure that the color is not glossy. A glossy and shiny cosmetic will not be suitable as it will make the artificial dimples look exaggerated and make it appear that they are artificial. In addition, colors other than dark brown will likely also appear to be artificial.
- The point where the artificial dimple should follow the natural curve of the lips when smiling. Imagine something invisible, a diagonal line connecting the corners of your lips and the creases when you smile. The intersection of this line with the smile fold is the best point.
- Draw a small tail just below the part of the point to be made. The tail should be inch (1.25 cm) or less, and the curve should be as smooth as the bend of the fingertips.
Step 3. Apply eye shadow
Spread the cosmetic onto your skin to make it look more natural. Start with a light coat of makeup, apply several times, continuing to follow the curve marks. Blur the edges once you're done with a small polish using a larger brush. Apply the same polish with a larger brush.
If you can't get the curve you want with the brush, smooth the marks around with your ring finger. Use the ring finger on your strongest arm, as your other fingers may not be able to apply the right amount of pressure to get the desired area. You'll need to keep flattening out the curves during this artificial dimple, as opposed to repeating it
Step 4. Repeat as needed
Make the dimples on both cheeks look more symmetrical. If the marks are too light and the artificial dimples aren't well-formed, you can apply more eye shadow or eye liner in the same place in the same way.
- The accuracy of the dimple darkening effect can be adjusted according to the shape of the artificial dimple you want. If you want your dimples to appear more prominent, you'll need to cover them up to make them look natural. Artificial dimples that are too dark tend to make your face look unnatural.
- On the other hand, if you only want artificial dimples for a photo shoot, maybe you should make your cheeks a little darker by using some eye shadow or eyeliner. It can look better when you shoot in a room with low light.
Step 5. Smile
These artificial dimples will look like you are smiling or not, but a beautiful smile is the essence of beauty and can make your artificial dimples look “attractive” to “very attractive”.
You should also smile immediately after making these artificial dimples in order to check your artificial dimples. Look in the mirror and decide if you've got what you want. If not, feel free to wash your face and try again
Method 3 of 3: Long Term Artificial Dimples
Step 1. Get a dimple piercing Dimple piercing is very risky, even since you agree to a piercing one area tends to get infected more easily than other areas
When you're done, initially dimple piercings can show facial expressions with natural dimples. Keep the piercing if you want the best part of your dimple to be permanent or you decide to have it removed, your skin may heal eventually, leaving a scar like an indentation on your cheek.
- Due to the risk of dimple piercing, some experts don't recommend getting a dimple piercing. Some may still allow you to have your cheek pierced to make it look like your desired dimple but sometimes they refuse anyone under the age of 18, even if that person has an insurance license.
- Dimple piercing goes into the muscles and usually causes nerve damage. Nerve damage can help hold the dimple in place even after the piercing. But it can be riskier and cause other unforeseen damage.
- Professional piercers should clean the outside of your cheek and should also instruct you to clean the inside of your mouth before making a dimple piercing. Needles and jewelry must also be sterile.
- The piercer will pierce both of your cheeks symmetrically, right at the point where the artificial dimples will look natural. After that, they'll put a straight piercing with a small ball on each end, similar to a barbell, or maybe you'll have another piercing in both holes to prevent the dimple from closing suddenly.
- Your dimple piercing will need to be cleaned several times a day using a saline solution to prevent infection from getting used.
- You can keep your piercing permanently if you wish, but you can also remove it after 3 months of use. If your piercing causes nerve damage as previously thought, you will definitely get a dent in your cheek even after your skin heals from the hole.
Step 2. consider doing Plastic Surgery
If you want natural-looking, lasting dimples for the rest of your life, learn about a plastic surgery procedure that will make dimples on your cheeks. Plastic surgery is very expensive and comes with risks, but this option will give you artificial dimples that look more natural than other methods.
- A plastic surgery will use a local anesthetic procedure. He will make a small incision in the mouth and into the surface of the cheek. Using special tools, the surgery will create an indentation in the cheek veins and mucous membrane tissue. After that, the dimple hole will appear with the inner suture, and the outer suture that serves as a cover for the wound in the inner mouth.
- For larger dimples, plastic surgery may involve an excision of the tissue. During this procedure, a portion of the cheek nerve is lost completely, creating a deeper and more defined indentation.
- In some instances, the procedure will take approximately one hour.
- You should expect some pain, swelling, and bruising immediately after the procedure. This place is also prone to infection afterward, so you must be careful and carefully follow the instructions according to the plastic surgery guide for scar recovery and cleaning.
- For the first few weeks, the curve of your dimple will be visible all the time. When your cheek nerve is partially healed, you should first notice the signs when you smile.
