Thick cheeks: how to visually hide? Video
Chubby cheeks appear not only due to excess weight, but also due to imbalances in the balance of fluid in the body or due to the shape of the cheekbones. It can be very difficult to fix this problem, especially if it lies in the features of the oval of the face, but on the other hand, the cheeks can be hidden visually with the help of hairstyles or makeup.
How to hide thick cheeks with makeup
You can hide full cheeks thanks to properly applied cosmetics. Blush of dark shades helps especially well in such situations. To correct the shape of the face, you first need to comb your hair back so that they do not hide your cheeks, and you have seen which flaw you need to mask. Imagine what the ideal oval should look like, and then use blush to hide what goes beyond it.
Choose a blush based on your color type. It is important that they are matte and do not give the skin a radiant effect, otherwise the shine will only increase the volume of the cheeks.
Apply the blush to the cheeks with a soft coarse brush, thus darkening problem areas. As a result, the cheeks will visually become much less full. It is very important to carefully blend the borders with your fingers or a brush so that the area highlighted by the blush is not striking.
It is recommended to blend from cheeks to temples or cheekbones, but not vice versa.
The classic way of applying blush to correct thick cheeks is as follows: you first need to apply a little makeup on the upper part of the cheekbones and shade, then take a blush of a slightly darker shade and apply to the lower part. So you can achieve a soft transition and make the cheeks look narrower. For a more natural look, apply a thin layer of powder on top. Finally, you can put a little blush on your chin, but keep in mind that this does not suit everyone.
How to hide thick cheeks with hairstyles
A beautiful, properly done haircut and styling can also get rid of the problem of thick cheeks. A good option would be voluminous hairstyles, complemented by sharp short strands, combed forward and covering the cheeks and cheekbones. It is advisable to have a short haircut in order to focus on the shoulders and décolleté line. In the cold season, a bright scarf can become an accent.
If you want to wear long hair, choose a cascading haircut, style your hair so that it covers your cheekbones, and do voluminous hairstyles.
Combing and high styling will help to visually stretch the face, as well as divert attention from the cheeks. Avoid curls framing your face along the cheekbones and chin, as well as smooth hairstyles. It is desirable that the strands are sharp, tough, and not form a straight line. The best option would be to contact an experienced hairdresser who will make a suitable haircut and explain exactly how best to style it.
