High Cheekbones: 5 Beauty Tips for a Sculpted Look

The cheekbones are a striking feature of many faces. They add shape, balance and, when highlighted appropriately, convey youthfulness and confidence.

Although cheekbones vary across each facial structure and differ between people due to surgical or non-surgical treatments; high cheekbones can help create more defined facial structures or reduce laugh lines and dark eye circles.

To determine your face shape, take a piece of tape and measure your forehead, cheekbones and jawline.

If your forehead is wider than your cheekbones and jawline, that indicates an oval or heart-shaped face; if they are narrower than the jawline, indicate a square or diamond face; otherwise, they have equal width across both areas, indicating either pear- or round faces.

If you have a heart-shaped face, frames with decorative details around them can draw attention to your gorgeous eyes and jawbones while emphasizing them.

Cat-eye or oval frames may also help elongate the length of your face and emphasize any curves in the eyebrows.

Fillers may help those with pear or round faces add shape and definition to their lower cheeks by plumping this area with fillers.

This will reduce dark eye circles and laugh lines, creating a more youthful and alert appearance.

Traditional surgery for cheek augmentation often requires extensive downtime, which interferes with work and personal life.

With laser cheek augmentation, however, treatment can be completed in-office without much downtime; entrepreneurs can even have it performed during their lunch break and return immediately to meetings, negotiations and work without missing a beat!

Cheek implants can enhance a person’s facial contours. There are various sizes and shapes of cheek implants available on the market today.

Implants can be placed through either the mouth or cheeklid, depending on which method best suits both surgeon and patient preferences and facial structures.

To determine your facial structure, take measurements of the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jawline.

Oval Face

The oval face shape is a classic example, often associated with high cheekbones. This face shape can make features appear larger.

People with this face type typically possess wide foreheads and cheekbones while having narrow chins and jawlines; making this type of facial structure one of the most versatile options when styling with hairstyles, glasses, or makeup looks; celebrity examples of this facial structure include Rihanna and Angelina Jolie.

To determine whether or not your face is oval-shaped, begin by taking measurements using a tape measure of the widths at your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.

Try to ensure the measurements are as similar as possible and note which measurement is larger.

Once you know your face shape, it’s essential to know how to best accentuate its high cheekbones.

Makeup artist Camara Aunique works with celebrities like Insecure’s Yvonne Orji and recommends applying blush in the center of both cheeks before gently extending it toward earlobes – this will soften chiseled jawlines while adding width to your midface region.

Heart-Shaped Face

If your forehead is wider than your cheekbones and jawline, then you have a heart-shaped face.

The silhouette of this type of facial structure tapers from top to bottom unlike round or oval faces which widen at their forehead than from cheekbones to jawline;

Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson Vanessa Hudgens, and Ryan Gosling all possess heart-shaped features on their faces.

Semi-rimless and rimless frames are recommended for people with heart-shaped faces as they help add depth and balance to the narrow forehead and chin areas.

Cat-eye frames also work well, creating an upturned look that brings out high cheekbones.

Avoid large frames such as square or rectangular ones which will further emphasize wider features of your face shape.

Triangle Face

Puckey advises those with triangle faces to shade the area where your cheekbones meet your chin to help balance out their features and shape a more pleasing facial structure.

Contouring may also help, although too much contouring could result in beard-like results.

If you have a rectangular face shape that’s longer than wide, don’t stress about contouring: earrings offer plenty of freedom when choosing earrings to complement this face shape.

Hoops and dangles work best for this face type; teardrops or buttons also look nice but avoid anything hanging past your chin like studs; celebrities with this facial structure include Tyra Banks and Victoria Beckham.

Stern believes a square face can be difficult to style due to its “hard angles”, suggesting emphasizing high points like cheekbones and nose tip as focal points to soften its lines and soften it overall.

She recommends emphasizing these features by emphasizing them using light neutral tones on lower areas to accentuate soft features in your complexion and emphasize soft lines in skin tone.

Pear Face

Pear-shaped faces have foreheads and jawlines wider than their cheekbones and chins, typically having low cheekbones but sometimes featuring higher ones too.

Makeup artist Camara Aunique–who works with celebs such as Insecure’s Yvonne Orji–suggests adding height to your apples by applying blush in a semicircle around your nose and out toward your hairline to create the appearance of round, sculpted cheeks ideal for this face shape.
