5 ways to make your forehead look smaller

Having a large forehead can be a problem for many as it can make your face look bigger than it is and can draw more attention to your forehead.

However, makeup and styling tips can create an illusion and make your forehead appear narrower and smaller and make you less uncomfortable around people.

Here are five ways to make your forehead look smaller.

If you want your forehead to appear smaller, then stop applying foundation to your hairline.

This will help create a natural shadow on the hairline and the illusion that the hairline starts lower than it originally does.

Another thing you can do is apply a dark shade of foundation along your temples and hairline to make your forehead appear smaller and your face more chiseled.

Well-done eyebrows can make your face look younger and slimmer and can improve your overall facial structure.

Well-shaped, bold and dark eyebrows will draw attention away from your forehead and make your face appear smaller.

Don’t overdo the brows and make sure the brow arch is high to create the illusion of more space between the brow bone and the eye.

A bright, rosy color on your cheeks can distract from your large forehead and highlight your features.

Apply peach or rosy blush along the apples of the cheeks and blend upwards to create a lifting effect.

Complete your look by sweeping some shimmery highlighter on the upper cheekbones and bridge of your nose to make your forehead appear smaller.

Bright and bold lipstick can lift your face and draw attention away from your broad forehead in seconds.

Apply bright red, pink or coral lipstick to make your lips pop and draw attention to them.

However, make sure your overall makeup is subtle, light and simple to let your lips do the talking (pun intended!).

A bronzer can instantly make your forehead look smaller and make your face appear more chiseled and structured.

Make sure the bronzer has a matte finish and is at least three shades darker than your original skin tone for promising results.

Apply the bronzer around the hairline and temples and blend it well using a tapered brush to create a stronger bone structure.
