11 MAKEUP AND BEAUTY TIPS TO MAKE YOUR FOREHEAD LOOK SMALLER

   If you want to conceal large forehead for a while, here we have the tricks that can just help you look beautiful but as usual don't let insecurities rule you, flaunt what ya mama gave ya.

1. A Hint Of Blush:

You can use a bright blush color to draw attention from your forehead.

1. Swipe some rosy or peachy blush along the apples of your cheeks.
2. Work the product upwards for slightly lifting effect.

It is also an effective trick to use shimmery glowing cheek products. It makes the light reflect on your cheeks thereby drawing attention to the center of your face.

 

2. Shape your brows:

   Brushing your eyebrows up and into place can lift your face and minimize the visual distance between your eyebrows and hairline plus, it opens your eye area and creates balance. If your brows are sparse, fill them in a bit with pencil, powder, or brow gel just be sure to use short, hair-like strokes in a shade that matches brows for the most subtle look, and keep it all in place with a dab of brow gel. Eyebrows help in achieving a thinner and younger look for your face. They help in framing your face structure. If you wish to make your forehead appear shorter, then change your eyebrow shape into an angular one.

3. Contouring technique:

This makeup trick will work excellently for photographs. If you wish to make a stronger chiseled forehead look, then apply a darker foundation to the temples and hairline.Use contouring techniques, but keep it subtle by just using two shades of foundation, the first one should be just one shade lighter than your natural skin tone, the second one should be one shade darker than your skin tone. Use the lighter one in the center of your face and the darker one around the perimeter of your face. Dot on sparingly and blend well. “There should be no lines or streaks on your jaw line. This technique is a more subtle version of highlight and contour, but when done correctly, results in a soft effect that pulls the eye towards the center of your face and can really minimize your forehead.

1. Make sure all your hair is tied out of your face, so it is easy to apply and blend makeup.
2. Then, pick a matte concealer or foundation, which is one shade darker than your natural skin tone.
3. Now, start drawing a solid line on the circumference of your forehead with medium sized flat or dome shaped brush.
4. Blending is a key to any makeup look. It is a crucial and essential ingredient to get a successful face contoured look. So, keep blending the product outward till you achieve a seamless finish.
5. The contour should look natural with no harsh lines.
6. Then, follow with a bronzer to make the effect appear stronger and sharper.

This trick will enhance the angles of your bone structure and minimize the look of roundness of your face.

 

 4. Bronzer:

The easiest way to make your forehead appear shorter instantly is to use a bronzer. A bronzer has to be in matte formula and at least 3 shades darker than your natural skin tone to make the effect visible.
Simply take some bronzer on a tapered blush brush and blend the shade into your temples and around the hairline. This trick will emphasize and create a stronger bone structure. This simply makes your large forehead appear smaller.

 

 5. Chiseled Cheeks:

Thinner cheeks help in drawing attention to the center of your face, thereby diverting attention from your forehead. This can be achieved by using a bronzer 3 or 4 shades darker than your natural skin tone and never forget to blend accordingly using your brush

1. Simply  use a bronzer powder which is 3 to 4 shades darker than your natural skin tone.
2. Apply it in a diagonal line from the center of your cheek towards the ear.

This makeup technique can be easily done by making a “fish face” and perfectly locating the hollow of your cheekbone and brushing the product.

6. Highlight:

Highlighting is an easy way to make the light reflect the center of your forehead, thereby drawing attention from the large height forehead look.

1. Choose a shimmery highlighter powder and apply it to the center of the forehead, exactly between your eyebrows and blend it outward.
2. You can also apply the highlighter to the bridge of your nose to lift the shape of your face.

This technique will make your features bring forward and downplay the width of your forehead.

7. Dramatic Eyes:

  Apply an attractive eye makeup so that the focus of your face would be on your eyes and that therefore would distract the attention of any viewer from your forehead. Your eye makeup can instantly make a difference to your facial shape so remember to play with your eye shadow, get funky with your mascara, fix your lashes and bedazzle with your eyeliner.

 

8. Play Your Lips:

If you want to make an instant lift to your face with just a few seconds in hand, then the best trick is to play up your lips. Apply a bright pink,red,berry or coral lipstick to your lips to pull focus from your forehead and you will instantly notice all the emphasis going to your lips, thereby drawing everyone’s attention to your lips and smile! All you have to remember is to keep the other makeup simple. This trick works especially well if you have medium to full lips. Color on your lips prevents a “monochrome” look; if your face is all neutral, your forehead will really stand out.

8. Consider Proportions:

High foreheads usually are a result of high hairlines or low brows, and sometimes even thinning hair in the front area, so camouflaging a large forehead is all about proportions. Bangs or shorter layers in the front are the first step to detracting attention from the area, but wearing hair up in a tight, pulled-back style will only serve to make your forehead more prominent.

 

9. Change Your Part:

A center part will continue to draw the eye up, so it isn’t the best way to draw the eye away from your forehead, a side part however, will draw the eye in a different direction, so therefore you should try a side part but on the plus side, if you are have the forehead type and you love the center part, you should thank the Kardashians/Jenners they have given us a way to wear center part without worrying about flaws peeping through. 

10. Try Bangs:

Try long, heavy, rounded bangs, covering the brows and almost touching the eyes,These look best on long and oval faces as a great way to cover a larger forehead and shorten the look of a long face. To style, blowdry with your hands or a large round brush straight down, or at an angle until they lay perfectly straight. Flat iron if needed.

11. Increase Volume:

By adding width through a voluminous hairstyle, the forehead seems to shrink, the same goes for adding texture around the face, like subtle curls or waves. Body-enhancing shampoos and styling creams lend a good helping hand as well.
