17 best tricks for girls with round faces

17 BEAUTY HACKS FOR ROUND FACES: LOOK SLIMMER & MORE STUNNING WITH ILLY STORE

Having a round face means fuller cheeks, a softer jawline, and an eternally youthful glow—but sometimes you might want a bit of extra definition. These 17 easy beauty tricks—from jewelry and makeup to haircuts and wardrobe—will create angles, draw the eye, and flatter your face shape. Pick the ones you love and watch your round features transform!

1. Jewelry Tricks

Goal: Distract from width, add vertical lines and angles.

1. Long, angular earrings

   • Try: Dangle, drop, teardrop or chandelier styles in geometric cuts.

   • Avoid: Large hoops or round studs—they emphasize roundness.

2. V-shaped necklaces

   • Try: Opera- or rope-length chains that hang low, creating a slimming V.

   • Avoid: Chokers and collars that cut the neck horizontally.

3. Bold nose, lip or brow piercings

   • Try: A single stud or small ring at the center of your face to draw attention inward.

   • Pro tip: Match metal tones to your earrings for cohesive styling.

2. Makeup Tips

Goal: Sculpt, highlight, and lift.

4. Contouring

   • Choose a shade ½–1 tone darker than your skin.

   • Apply from the hollows of your cheeks up toward your hairline and along the jaw.

5. Highlighting

   • Lightly dust highlighter down the center of your face: bridge of nose, forehead, chin.

   • Blend softly under eyes and on top of cheekbones for luminous depth.

6. Eyebrow shaping

   • Create a gentle arch that peaks just past the center—this adds vertical lift.

   • Soft-angle, hard-angle, or subtle S-shaped brows all work beautifully.

7. Blush placement

   • Swipe blush from the upper cheekbone toward the temple (not on the apples of cheeks).

   • This diagonal stroke lengthens the face.

8. Eyeliner flick

   • Draw a fine line from inner corner to just past the outer corner, angling up slightly.

   • The lifted tail makes eyes—and by extension, your face—appear longer.

3. Hairstyle Tricks

Goal: Add height, frame the face, and create vertical lines.

9. Jaw-length bob

   • Opt for a slightly longer front or side-swept bangs to break up roundness.

10. Long layers

• Soft cascading layers and off-center parting elongate your silhouette.

11. Shoulder-grazing lob

• A “long bob” that skims the shoulders draws the eye up and down, not side-to-side.

12. Face-hugging waves or curls

• Center-parted, loose curls that skim the jawline add soft angles.

4. Outfit Tricks

Goal: Lengthen the neck and torso, balance proportions.

13. V-Necklines & Heart Neck

• Reveal a bit of décolletage to create the illusion of a longer face.

14. Unbuttoned collared shirts

• Leave the top one or two buttons open for clean vertical lines.

15. Off-shoulder tops & dresses

• Show your collarbones, shifting focus upward and outward.

16. Square & Wide Necklines

• Broad lines across shoulders and chest elongate the neck.

17. Angular frames (glasses)

• If you wear specs (or style non-prescription frames), choose square or rectangular shapes to add structure.

BONUS: Mix & Match

No need to apply all 17 at once! For a quick “grab-and-go” routine:

• Jewelry: Slip on long geometric earrings.

• Makeup: Contour lightly, add a flick of liner.

• Hair: Sweep your hair into a high bun with face-framing tendrils.

• Outfit: Choose a V-neck top and pair with sleek rectangular glasses.
