In a world where our outer appearance takes centre stage, it’s reasonable that you may want to make some minor changes to achieve a more harmonious suite of facial features.
Of course, a natural result is always something to look for, and we’re happy to say that with the advent of procedures such as filler, achieving such results is easier than ever before. However, you may want to know a little more about what makes a face aesthetically pleasing, and so we have tips below for you too.
With that being said, let’s take a look below at how you can achieve a more aesthetic appearance!
Weight Loss
Whether you’re looking to enhance the body or the face, one of the most effective places to start is with your weight. Believe it or not, a lot of people have great facial structure, though with higher body fat percentages, this bone structure such as the jawline, cheekbones and even the neck can appear less chiselled.
Keeping this in mind, one of the first things you should consider before diving into more invasive procedures is looking to lose weight through diet and exercise.
Over the coming weeks you may notice that just a minor drop in your weight results in more apparent cheekbones, less under-chin fat and a more harmonious facial structure.
Chin and Jaw Filler
When it comes to altering the appearance of specific facial features, there is little that comes to the effectiveness of filler.
Talking about aesthetics in particular, the chin and the jaw hold a lot of power with regards to the harmony of the face and the structure. For example, when leaning toward chin filler, you may notice that your face appears longer, slimmer, more pleasing to look at and even reduces the appearance of fatty neck and chin tissue.
The good news is that these areas of the face are so powerful in their ability to make our facial harmony more aesthetic, many plastic surgeons will only typically inject between one and three millilitres of a filling agent such as Restylane or Juvederm.
Added to this, these locations in the face move very infrequently meaning that the filler in these zones will last a lot longer than that of the lips, for example, which typically lose volume from six months.
Facial Hair for Men, Makeup for Women
Another point to consider when looking to create a more aesthetic facial appearance is tools such as facial hair and makeup.
In a lot of cases, doing your makeup incorrectly for your face or trimming and shaping your beard incorrectly will result in your facial structure looking poorer than it could!
In men with a weaker chin and jaw, facial hair can be used to boost the prominence of these areas, and so the cheek zone and sub-lip area of the face should be kept free or well-trimmed of beard hair, while the jaw and chin should feature thicker facial hair – ultimately emphasising these locations of the face.
When we turn to makeup, faces with reduced structure or lower cheekbones would highly benefit from a makeup focus on contouring the cheekbones, forehead and jawline to emphasise and essentially ‘add’ these angles into the face which would otherwise not be as prominent.
Understanding Your Face and Making a Plan
For those of our readers who are intent on improving their facial harmony and gaining a more aesthetic face, then it’s important to note that nothing starts without a plan. Added to this, it is imperative to understand that trend-based filler, and trend-based facial changes are something to stray from. For example, lip filler will not suddenly result in a more aesthetic face simply because everyone wants larger lips.
That in mind, carefully studying your face layout is a good place to start.
We suggest working to delve into your facial structure, researching the results you would like to achieve, working to build a visual in your mind of what would make your facial features more aesthetic and perhaps even undertaking DNA testing to further determine how your face may age. With this plan in your mind, you will then be able to work with a cosmetic surgeon, or makeup artists or any other beautician to achieve these goals.
In some cases, looking at celebrities with similar facial layouts might be a good place to start. Though ‘copying’ celebrity appearances isn’t something we would suggest, this will give you a great starting point as to what someone with a face like yours can achieve with the right focus on facial harmonisation and aesthetics.
