    Default HELP! Face makes me look fat!

    Okay so here is my problem... in pictures I always look SO much heavier than I really am because I have a VERY full face. It's really round with pig cabbage patch doll cheeks... and I have NO idea what to do because I can't seem to lose enough weight for it to look skinny... I've tried contour sticks but it's not enough... Does anyone know of anything that can be done?

    Some people find a rounder face looks cute

    There are hairstyles you can get that slim down the face, however. I have a roundish face and parting my hair on the side helps in creating more of an oval shape.

    I agree with parting your hair off-center. It also helps flatter my nose.

    Have you thought about changing the way you use blusher? If you get a professional make-up book from a library, they might explain that trick where you put darker blush *under* your cheekbone and lighter blush *over* it, and it creates the optical illusion of shadow, makes your cheeks look more hollow.

    You might also consider going to a local beauty school, where they are frequently looking for people to practice on. If you let someone practice on you, they'd probably give you tips about how to make your cheeks look thinner.

    Also, check out your haircut. It might be emphasizing all the wrong things if it's not cut for your face shape. I have a round face and cheeks and I look *awful* with straight-length hair or anything below my shoulders.

    If Your Face is Round

    Try

    Hair styles with fullness and height at the crown. Off center parts. Short hair styles with a swept-back direction or hair styles that are longer than chin length. By layering the top to achieve fullness and keeping the rest of the cut relatively close to the face, your face shape will appear longer and narrower.

    Avoid

    Chin length hair with a rounded line that mirrors face’s circular shape. Center parts. Short-short crops, straight "chopped" bangs. Fullness at side of ears. A rounded haircut ending at the chin will certainly add weight to your face shape. Because the widest part of your face is at the cheeks and ears, you need to avoid having the fullness of the cut here as it will make your face appear wider.

    Remember, round faces are cute, too. They just get a bad rap because people associate them with being fat. Not so. Think Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore, Christina Ricci, etc.

    One other thing- if it bothers you so much, they do facial lipsuction for double chin if that's an issue.

    Hair can make a world of difference, so definitely work with different cuts to flatter your face shape. I have a round face too, but round faces tend to look youthful the longest, so that's a plus!

    I have a feeling that you look exactly like I do in pics. My body looks fine, but all of my pictures (unless taken from an above angle) give me a double chin. Apparently they have implants for recessed chins, but they're quite costly. When looking straight at me, my face looks fine. Looking from the side, on the other hand, looks fat because my chin isn't in porportion to the rest of my face - it doesn't stick out enough. My chin looks very ,much like the "before" picture here. I would love to look like the "after" shot though.
