For the girlies who are wondering is this possible to look pretty with chubby cheeks, well, ABSOLUTELY!
Seriously, regardless of your face shape, you look perfect just the way you are.
That being said, as a girl with round face, I’ve got all the tricks to share! 💕
Let me break down everything I’ve learned through countless trials and errors.
We can totally look gorgeous with our round faces!
Alright, without further ado, let’s get started and save some of these looks for later <3
1. Ditch those round necks! ⭕
I literally don’t own any round neck tops anymore because they do NOTHING for me.
Whether loose or tight, round necks make my face look way chubbier every single time!
Turtlenecks are even worse if you don’t have a naturally long neck.
Also avoid anything that draws horizontal attention – those princess puff sleeves and horizontal stripes can make you look 5 pounds heavier!
But don’t trash your round neck shirts yet – here’s my hack: hang sunglasses from the collar to create a V-shape!
It’s such an easy way to instantly look more chic while creating a more flattering neckline. Game changer, right? 👓
2. Skip those bobs and bangs! 🙅♀️
Most of us chubby-cheeked girls don’t rock bob cuts well – they frame our faces and make them look even rounder!
I tried it once (big mistake!) but if you’re really set on it, go for an angled bob that’s longer than chin length. Short round bobs are definitely not our friends!
As for bangs, I used to wear them in my early twenties but had to face facts – they hide our foreheads making our faces appear shorter and rounder, which draws even MORE attention to our cheeks!
Some round-faced girls can pull these off, but honestly, most of us look way better with other styles. Trust me on this one! 💇♀️
3. Long hair is our BFF! 💁♀️
Not only does long hair make our faces look smaller, but it can partially hide those chubby cheeks too!
Play around with partings – a 3:7 side part or center part looks amazing on us.
With side partings, I tuck one side behind my ear to show off my shoulder line, which makes my face appear so much slimmer!
With center parts, I add some curls to strategically hide the fullness. And yes, ponytails can work for us!
Just go high rather than low – the height balances out our face shape.
My secret weapon? Dabbing eyebrow powder along my hairline to create the illusion of a smaller face.
The options are endless – we just need to get creative with our locks! 😉
4. Embrace V-necks, off-shoulders, and oversized pieces! 👚
I always dress based on how my face looks that day!
Less puffy? V-necks all the way.
Bloated face? Off-shoulder dresses save me every time!
These necklines show more skin around your neck area, making your face appear less chubby. Off-shoulders too youthful for you?
Try boat necklines for the same effect but more elegance!
And don’t sleep on oversized clothes – they’re amazing for us chubby-cheeked girls.
Want to look sexy and chic? Pair an oversized tee with a cute belt to define your waist.
These styles have seriously changed my confidence level when I look in the mirror!
You’ll be amazed at how the right neckline can transform your whole look! ✨
5. Long earrings are magic! 💎
Instead of bulky earrings that make your face look rounder, long, linear earrings will be your absolute best friends!
They’re not just elegant and feminine – their elongated shape balances out our round faces and creates the illusion of length.
I actively avoid huggies and hoop earrings now because they just don’t flatter our face shape at all.
When I discovered how dramatic the difference was with dangly earrings, I literally bought them in every color!
They draw the eye downward and create visual interest away from fuller cheeks.
Try them with your hair up for maximum face-slimming effect! You’ll be shocked at what a difference the right earrings make. 👂
6. Choose your necklaces wisely! 📿
Always avoid chunky short necklaces as they make our necks look wider and faces rounder – plus they can hide our collarbones!
So chokers, bib necklaces, and pearl necklaces are usually not great choices for us.
Instead, go for Y-necklaces, chain necklaces, or lariat styles that create a lengthening V-shape!
Don’t save these just for formal occasions either. I wear my rose gold Y-necklace with casual V-neck tees all the time – it makes me look so put together and chic with zero effort!
The vertical line draws the eye down and creates the illusion of a longer, slimmer face. It’s such an easy accessory switch that makes a huge difference in how our faces look! 💫
7. Focus on those eyes! 👁️
Despite all our cheek contouring efforts, I’ve realized eye makeup is equally important!
It’s all about proportion – when your eyes look bigger and more defined, your chubby cheeks just appear less obvious.
I’m not talking about heavy, dramatic makeup daily (unless that’s your thing!), but paying more attention to what eye techniques flatter you most. For me, a thin yet long eyeliner makes my cheeks appear smaller like magic.
Curling my lashes and applying mascara draws attention upward instead of to my cheeks, creating more balanced facial features.
One tip though – skip the inner eyeliner! It tends to make our eyes look smaller, which is the opposite of what we want.
When people are drawn to your gorgeous eyes, they won’t even notice those cheeks! 😉
FINAL THOUGHTS:
After reading all this, I hope you’re convinced it’s totally possible to look STUNNING with chubby cheeks!
While we might need to be more strategic about our style choices, our chubby cheeks keep us looking youthful and cute.
Embrace them, girl – we look amazing anyway! 💕
