When a person looks at your face for the first time, you probably want them to see the features you like the most. If you have a high forehead and want to hide it, there are various ways to shift your attention to other areas. Try different hairstyles, makeup techniques, or accessories to cover her up and combat the feeling of insecurity you experience.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Combing it
Step 1. Wear the bangs
The absolute most effective way to hide a high forehead is to go to the hairdresser and get bangs. Straight bangs that gradually stretch to the side are the most versatile, perfect for high foreheads. However, this cut does not enhance any type of face, for example it does not even suit those with a large face or a prominent nose. You can choose from a wide variety of fringes. Browse a magazine and select the one you prefer to propose to the hairdresser. Just make sure you choose a fringe that makes the most of your face shape.
If you have a round face, opt for a curtain fringe. You can also wear full side bangs
Step 2. Make low, soft crops
If you want to collect your hair, part the center and make a soft bun. Take a couple of strands from the sides of the head and curl them with an iron set to the minimum to frame the face.
Avoid combing your hair back. Contrary to low and soft harvests, a ponytail or a pulled chignon does not enhance high foreheads that much
Step 3. Create volume with a layered cut
A high forehead often optically elongates the face. Straight and straight hair exacerbate this effect, while wavy and voluminous hairstyles help to balance the shape of the face, widening it slightly.
You can also create volume by using specific products, by curling your hair or styling it with a hairdryer and a round brush
Step 4. Wear a longer bob in front
Create an asymmetrical bob by bringing the line to the end of the garment. The side line "breaks" the forehead and draws attention to the eyes. Being longer in front, the bob makes the neckline a focal point.
Method 2 of 3: Changing the Makeup
Step 1. Use the contouring technique to create optical illusions
Apply a bronzer a shade darker than foundation along the hairline to optically make the forehead smaller. Do not forget to blend the bronzer well with the foundation using a sponge or a special brush, in order to obtain a natural result.
Step 2. Intensify your eye makeup
Emphasize the eyes and make them become the focal point of the face by using eye shadows and eyeliner of intense colors. Eye makeup can also affect how others perceive your face.
To create intense eye makeup perfect for the evening, opt for the smokey eye technique. Apply gray, navy, aubergine or brown eyeshadow to the eyelid from the lashline to the crease of the eye. In the crease, apply a deeper tone of the same color by making light oscillating movements with a soft-bristled brush. Brighten the browbone with a neutral eyeshadow one or two tones lighter than your complexion. Complete your makeup with dark eyeliner and your favorite mascara
Step 3. Create more balance with the blush
Choose a bright peach or pink blush and apply it on the cheekbones with a special brush. Also try applying it upwards, towards the temple, to optically lift the face and reduce the size of the forehead.
Method 3 of 3: Wearing the Right Accessories
Step 1. Cover your forehead with a cute hat
A hat allows you to cover a part of the forehead, but also to express your style.
If you plan on going to the beach, wear a floppy wide-brimmed straw hat to both hide your forehead and protect your face from UV rays
Step 2. Sculpt your brows to look full and defined
The manicured brows help to enhance any type of face or makeup. Use a pencil, a powder or a special gel to have thick and defined eyebrows, able to enhance the rest of the face. Remember to draw short strokes with a pencil or brush to mimic natural hair. In addition, concentrate the application of the product towards the outer corner of the eyebrow.
To set your brows and keep them looking beautiful all day, use a clear gel
Step 3. Wear a flashy necklace or pair of earrings
Choose an accessory with a great personality to divert attention from the forehead. Complete the outfit with a chunky necklace or a pair of sparkly chandelier earrings that can grab people's attention and spark interest.
Advice
- Bringing the side parting to the extreme helps to optically make a high forehead smaller.
- Lift your chin slightly in the photos.
- Believe in yourself. Remember that what really matters is who you are rather than how you look. Everyone has their own insecurities. If you look good and exude confidence, no one will care about your forehead.
