Ways to look masculine with a round face? My jawline is rarely visible
Hey there,
I have a fairly round face, so I know how you feel. There’s a lot you can do, depending on exactly how you want to go about “masculinizing” your face.
First, consider a hair cut if that’s a possibility for you. The classic “couple inches on the top, shaved on the sides” haircut works really well for round faces because it will elongate the face, making it appear less round.
I also do very *subtle* makeup for my face. Like super subtle. But it works. What I do is I use dark brown eye shadow that I’ve had forever and thicken my eyebrows. I don’t shape them or anything, I just make them look darker. Again, subtlety is key. I also take the very smallest amount and add the same shade to my mustache area and my chin, and I basically make it look like 5 o'clock shadow. I don’t do this all over my face because that gives me way more of a chance for it to not look real.
The masculine make up takes practice. Don’t do it for the first time right before an important event– practice when you can! Hair is also a big thing.
And if you wear glasses, I would suggest rectangular glasses.
But also, don’t be hard on yourself do your face shape. Round faces are awesome! And I bet you are too :)

*** Pro-Tip for photos: Lower your jaw every so slightly but keep your lips closed and it’ll also elongate your face. That’s how I take pictures and they look much more masculine. Have fun and be safe!
