If you frequent beauty spaces on the internet, or simply follow a few celebs on Instagram, there's no escaping the words "buccal fat removal," or the recent aesthetic shift from the pillowy, so-called "Instagram face" to sharper and more defined features.
Though some A-listers and influencers may be going under the knife to achieve these results, the rest of us hardly need to go to such extremes. After all, most people don't have plastic surgeons on speed dial, and while beauty trends come and go, physical features can't - and shouldn't be! - changed as often as a pair of jeans.
But if you're looking to enhance your face shape, and get a snatched selfie while you're at it, all it really takes is some strategically placed makeup.
Thanks to model, content creator, and beauty pro Ash Walker, we now have the perfect hack for highlighting our jawlines and giving our profiles that chiseled look everyone is after lately. No needles or invasive procedures necessary.
Ash shared her tip, which involves applying contour under your jaw rather than along it, on Instagram and TikTok, complete with a video tutorial. "Shadow makes things go away, light brings forth things," she explains, demonstrating the difference in application. All it takes is a few seconds of blending and voila.
Genius - and painless!
