As a chubby teenager with a rather chubby face with my extra chubby cheeks on top of it, it's difficult for me to contour my face into a nice shape.
I already tried tousands of techniques and until today none of those helped me with my "problem".

I just really want to kind of give my face some edges and contour my cheekbones that are barely visible.

I thought maybe some of you could help me with this one!

Thank you tons in advantage! xx

Something I realized after trying over and over to give myself angles and a "chiseled" look with contour is that... my face doesn't look like that! Cheeks that are on the fuller side are nice because they are very youthful and cute in my opinion... And once I came to grips with this I started contouring (with blush) under my apples to play up my prominent cheeks. You might be surprised at how much you can learn to love having "chubby cheeks." & learning to love your features is always ALWAYS better than trying to change or cover them.

As a side note, I don't think your cheeks are chubby. It's more of a baby face than anything, which is what I have too.

Well thank you very much for the tip!(:
ill start to do the same with mine! x

Lol story of my life, my cheeks are so chubby!
-make sure you have a bronzer that's cool toned and works well on your skin tone so it'll look natural.
-to the typical 3E shape
-on the cheekbones, suck in and Go little bit higher than the natural bone, kind of where it goes up!

For special occasions and extra contouring I like to do the whole area under my cheek hollow

I'd bronze the cheek bone then highlight right above it! Also do your forehead. Trust me I have the same problem

Hmm I'd do that but I'm not that good at highlighting. :s so I pretty much try to not use highlighter..
anyways I can always try that method! ill do it one day soon. thaanks xx

I feel like I don't really wear enough foundation to sport the whole "contoured" look, but whenever I feel the need for extra definition I usually take a deeper blush shade and work it into the hollows of my cheeks or ill take a light bronzer and apply it subtly on the lower half of my face, again concentrating on the hollows of my cheekbones. Then I'll take a little around and above my hairline if I feel the need to. I find that diffusing the color into the rest of your face really helps it look more natural.

I have the same problem. huge cheeks. I don't even know where to put anything with the contour/highlighting on my face. I get it on other people but on mine I just can't place it right haha.

Here's the "technique" I was talking about and that I use all the time... It's kind of unorthodox from a cosmetic respective but I think it looks so rosy and natural and cute
