I Used to Hate My Wide Jaw—Now It’s a Flex

Five years ago, I’d do anything to hide my square face and flat profile. Now? I lean into it. Turns out, what I thought made me look “harsh” actually gives structure—and ages way better than baby-soft features. The trick? Creating depth. Not faking a smaller face. Here’s what works for me: Curved brows only. Flat brows drag me down. Contour placement matters—I use a slightly deeper shade along the outer frame and keep the center bright. This builds dimension without obvious lines. Lower lash shimmer (like faux aegyo-sal) adds volume to the center of the face. Muted lip + lifted eye makeup = attention stays up top. Volume at the crown helps elongate my head shape. And yes, be bold with highlight + shading. Don’t be afraid of contrast. Flat faces deserve structure—not erasure. Once I embraced that, everything changed. #beauty #makeup #facialcontouring
