@@rickard767 HAHAHA totally! and remember i know in the early 20s we're in a rush to look more mature and also have people take us more seriously, but there's DEFINITELY benefits to looking younger for longer. it took till about 27 for my baby cheeks to go away but i'm now 42 and I definitely still look like i can pass for late 20s. Take care of your skin. its your biggest organ!
@@whatevvvv everyone matures and grows differently! i don't think that's abnormal at all. I'm asian which is why i just assumed my cheeks stuck around for longer. While other kids looked like women or men in high school I very much still looked like a kid. I remembered going to a museum when i was 27 years old and ticket guy gave me the kids discount. I was really confused cuz i looked at the sign and saw that kid rate was for 14 years and younger. LOL Don't sweat it. There's pros and con either way on how long you keep or don't keep your chubby cheeks.
Are thick necks preferable for men and thin necks for women? Are thin necks all around better? I cant say Ive ever payed attention to anyone's neck unless its abnormally thick or wrinkled.
I think we should distinguish “high cheekbones” and “prominent cheekbones.” High/low cheekbones should refer to where the cheekbones sit on the face - whether more high up or lower down. “Prominent cheekbones” should refer to how much they jut out from the surrounding facial structure. Sometimes high and prominent cheekbones will still be covered by a layer of buccal fat (aka chubby cheeks).
Yeah I was going to say, I'm 23 and I have very prominent cheekbones as they are almost always visible, especially from the side but I do not think they are as high as on other peoples faces. That might be partially because I have a more oval/diamond face shape but still, they are definitely more prominent, especially because I do not have enough protrusion to have hollow cheeks. It's more of a Christian Bale type face
@@ugly9498 That's not true. My aunt has those but she got them in her late 30s. Most models do get fillers or surgery to make it prominent though. A very small number has those naturally.
Notice how even plus size models will have high cheekbones (and basically a slimmer face than expected from their level of body fat). Tess Holliday has a really good ogee curve/rounded outwards cheeks that still show off her model-tier dental-facial growth.
@@MTC24236 She does use a lot of makeup, but I would argue that for someone her size, she has a relatively lean facial structure. Her ogee curve is still very visible in most of her photos, and her fat is in her cheeks and neck area instead. I meant this as a comparison to the average woman her size. Your other examples are great!
what a disgusting suggestion... utterly disgusting to hear Tess's name in a forum about attractiveness fat people should really just acknowledge their flawed size
Cheek bones are so important to aesthetics. I never knew until I met my cousin. My cousin and I are nearly identical except she has prominent cheek bones. I was so used to East Asian aesthetics where cheekbones are actually shaved down. So never thought about it. I’m not into fillers so I’ve been trying to mimic the high cheekbones with makeup. Completely changed my contour technique to give the illusion. Makeup can’t replace real cheek bones but I’ve noticed people giving me more compliments lately now that I try to create cheek bones with highlight and contour. Doesn’t work on profile view but it’s enough for frontal view
@@hinnax.5489 most makeup videos are applying blush and contour on the highest parts of cheekbones and thats just dumb. turn your face to the side, find the highest points, use a minimal shimmer, quite light powder there. be more precise with contour and contour angle. and use lifting highlighter technique.
@@hinnax.5489 it’s like how any other instagrammer contours. The Asian way of contour is to shade the whole side of the jaw. The American way to contour is you do underneath the cheek bones, concealer under and the contour. Darken along the edges of the jaw. Then a highlight on cheek bones to make it pop. I find it’s important to put concealer under the cheekbone contour because it makes it pop out. Sorry if any of this is confusing. (In the following order; Highlight cheeks, contour the hollow underneath the cheekbones, concealer below that, then a line contour on the edge of the jaw.) Point being you don’t just contour the whole jaw, you need to add some dimension and highlight. Point being Asian contour doesn’t emphasize cheek bones. It’s just meant to slim down and give a v line face. I think the American instagrammer contour has an advantage in that they want cheekbones to pop, not just slim down the jaw.
Chewing and swallowing properly really helps. When you chew and keep it in the center of your mouth before swallowing with your throat, instead of filling up your cheeks with food, like most people, over time your buccinator muscles (cheeks) will attrophy/shrink, creating that 'hollow' look to contrast with your jaw and cheekbones, making them seem more prominent.
u can’t chew your food in the center of your mouth it’s not gonna last long term. Instead what is actually beneficial is to use your canines (the sharp vampire-like teeth) to chew food and then you will see results
The hollow cheek look is common amongst drug addicts, and regardless of the face type I think it can be easily achieved once body fat levels are low enough.
@@rightlibertarian8355 Depends on bodyfat levels. If you have a six pack, your face will reflect that too and look chiseled. Don't believe me? Google is ur friend.
@MrFangaz you’re lucky I’m here , personal trainer and dietician here. If you’re currently on the skinnier side , I recommend a diet filled with clean proteins and carbs , salmon , chicken , beef , eggs , rice , potatoes , is you’re best friend make sure you’re sleeping and recovering well and eating in a caloric surplus . And running will not burn muscle , you need cardio rather cutting or bulking , just don’t over do it , if you’re cutting just go on a deficit and I recommend mewing for the jawline part.
I came across this looking for how to stop hollow cheeks. I got a top denture a couple of weeks ago and my face has caved in. So many videos for men to hollow cheeks and women to prevent and fix hollow cheeks. There’s actually a video, how to hollow cheeks to get girls. I associate hollow cheeks with crack, tooth loss or eating disorders. I don’t find it appealing but apparently some people do.
@MrFangaz im 16 and im skinny but my face has a lot of fat, is that normal? should i start working out? ive started mewing very recently but im wondering if its just my age is why my face is chubby. (im skinny)
I have high cheekbones but not that much protrusion so I look much flatter. I find laterally wide cheeks very beautiful. My face it's pretty much oval and taught. What could improve a lot on my side and frontal view it's actually a more accurate angle for my jawline. I've made an exam and the doctors said my jawline growth didn't mach my age (too small)👀 I look younger because of that 🤔 it might actually be an option for health reasons in the future
How would facial exercises affect the ogee curve? If the cheek muscles get bigger it would be bad for the curve since cheeks need to look hollow correct? Also is it possible for face muscles to change position permanently?
What matters more is shape, definition or overall prominence of the cheekbones rather than where they sit. How/where soft tissue rests also matters (e.g. bella hadid before and after PS). Cheekbone prominence right under the eye is a masculine feature (hence why most examples here are males), just like a really square or prominent jaw or chin. There was only one woman in this series who I felt truly had that look and the remainder of her bone structure was also fairly masculine, though beautiful indeed. Also wouldn't describe N. Oliveira's cheekbones as low set by any means. I looked at more of her photos and they actually quite high and bordering on masculine.
@@sakaue You can't say that in general. There are certain attributes that men and women need to get a model look. Studies show that in men it's the eyes and in women it's the nose that's more important. So depending on you have to see what glasses do for you. Mine makes my nose smaller and generally my midface more compact due to the position I wear it. The frame cuts my eye shape so well, since they have the same curve as my natural eyes, that my half hooded almond eyes look much more 3:1 ratio than without glasses. As a negative factor, it should be noted that my cheekbones don't look that prominent. You really have to look at what suits you and then estimate how much it benefits you.
@@sakaue depends entirely on the style of glasses, which I am acutely aware of because normal glasses make my nose look bigger and I have to get glasses with a different inside curve towards the nose to make my nose look more normal. Different types of glasses styles flatter different kinds of faces. Few people look good with those stereotype aviator glasses for instance, they make most but not all people look uglier because their face doesn't have the proportions and angles to pull those shapes off well.
I have high cheekbones and i kinda used to hate it. Since i have deep set eyes and slim face, i would often look 'half dead' whenever i had little to no sleep. And i never wear highlighter either cause I'd probably look like ghost bride.
Yes! Because I still can't figure out low vs high cheekbone even after doing light research online. To my knowledge is just it's there vs noticing if someone has deformed cheekbone lol.
I think we all how unrealistic beauty standards because the very few very attractive people are everywhere on social media, films, media in general etc. Add in the photoshop, and it makes people feel shitty about their average looks. It also gives, especially women, unrealistically high standards when it comes to a potential partner.
Can you analyze acacia McBride if it’s not too much work pls? And can you give us some more tips to improve our facial aesthetics and voice,If you don’t mind pls?🙏🏽🙏🏽
can we get a video on body proportions and please go in depth on how men should shape their body in terms of upper and lower body. Which proportion is the most optimal for each genders? I work my upper body way more than my lower body and it has given me the illusion to look taller. I noticed that men with bigger legs look more compact and feminine. This video should be interesting.
And here I was looking for a method to remove the zygomatic bone bump suspecting it yo be the cause of my face ugliness. I think if I recover from mouth breathing mistake effects, I will look normal.
Mew they say - tongue hard pressing against palate, forcing it up, pushes cheek bones out. *Or some do a more manual approach- use their thumbs aka 'Thumb Pulling.'* And eat hard foods, like vegetables
I appreciated the Shawna Blackburn inclusion as I think I'm like her. I can see from photos I have medium/ lower cheekbones that are very prominent, giving me strong shape to my face... Mean while my bf has the dreamy high cheekbones but a more feminine jaw than me lol.
I lost 30 pounds and now I noticed that I developed a slight hollow to my cheeks kind of like Gabrielle Union. I think I'll probably continue to have a more defined cheekbone as I lose more weight. It's interesting watching this video because all of the things he mentioned proved to be evident in my face. I have very high and wide cheekbones. I never thought I'd be the type to have hallow cheeks since I have such a chubby, round baby face.
@@dumbavocado5305 I don't know. It really depends on your facial stucture. But given that thinner people are seen as more attractive, if you lose weight, you'll probaly look more attractive.
I have high fairly prominent cheekbones. Definitely got that from my momma. My one insecurity is having such a tiny nose. I like the tip of it but there's barely any nose bridge at all which makes finding glasses that fit a lot of fun. So in the end my midface is a weird mix of strong cheekbones but weak nose/profile. the 3/4 angle is definitely my friend. LOL
I think prominent cheekbones and high cheekbones go hand and hand, correct me if I'm wrong. 08:14 is how my cheekbones actually look, line and all high and wide, especially working out give it more density. Some women can't help but look at my face because of my cheekbones.
@@tracksidecameraman9055 i think high refers to vertically how it aligns on your face (aka closer your eyes or closer to the nose) and prominence refers to how far it sticks out and extends the width of your face. But that's awesome... rock those high cheekbones of yours!
@@arocks1234567 thank you! it definitely took a long time through some awkward teenage years with coke bottle glasses to learn to appreciate what I have
When i discovered mewing i became even more obsessed with cheekbones ,everytime i see someone and get attracted to themi find myself analysing their face and every single time they be having dem strong face structure bones
@@angelina-pw2ff soft features are pretty cute sharp features are attractive and people will always have different preferences so just love yours anyway
Alright I have high cheekbones if my widest part of face is .5 cm below eye? Or only the part of eye has to be highest to be considered high cheekbones?
as an indian (asian country) what qualifies as attractive cheekbone for a male? like cheekbones genetically i dont think are in favoourable trait in south asians , read somewhere europeans & asians have it better idk if there're talking about like ASIAN ASIANS or also including south asia (india pak etc) ( does sendhil ramamurthy have defined cheekbones ? i really dont understand cheekbones tbh tryna get an idea ) & how much body fat do i need to bring down to get definition of cheekbones ?
I'm Pakistani and I have incredibly high cheekbones and have seen others with them too. I think this is because most Pakistanis have a lot of Mongol, Turk, and Iranic ancestry whereas most Indians are Indo-Aryan and Dravidian. I think if I went to Karachi or Lahore, where most people are Indo-Aryan and closer to Indians, then I would see low cheekbones. But I live up in the North where people are closer to countries West of the Indian subcontinent.
And to answer your question about Sendhil, he has high cheekbones, but not defined cheekbones. Defined cheekbones are when they stick out and low facial fat helps with that. Defined cheekbones are attractive for all humans including South Asians.
My cheekbones look exactly like the one in the thumbnail it’s only noticeable when I’m around 5-12 bodyfat , when I got to 5 bodyfat you saw and it was sticking out so much you actually saw the bone structure stick out
I have low, since I’m a guy, I think they ruin my facial harmony, in my case personally. Can anyone please let me know know if mewing and chewing hard foods can make any difference after 21? Stay pretty and healthy you guys
i have very little noticeable high cheekbones but still they are nothing compared to the models. i really want hollow cheeks and those high cheekbones look of models
Women don't look good tall. 5'7 max. 5'8 at the very most. Any more, and they lose attractiveness 5'3-5'6 is good. Since they wear heels and boots anyways.
Can you do javon walton from euphoria he's whole family was said to be the most attractive they are also heavily trained how does training like that affect the body and face
People talking about how lower body fat percentage makes cheekbones visible should know that many leaner people have less prominent cheekbones, due to bigger muscles, the muscles of the chin and face grow too. For example: rugby players.
@@pamabbey3057 cool I have zygos like Francisco lachowski most handsome model according to analysed facial harmony by others So I'm good Jawline needs a little prominence it's great but needs a little sharpness altho dropping bf & becoming a little older should help alot

Facial subcutaneous fat and facial fluid retention are two different things. The individual just has to figure out which one they have based on diet and sleep.
I used to have those cheekbones - and then I hit 37 years old, quit smoking, went through some major life changes including the death of my dad. Needless to say - I look 75 now jk. No I just dont look that great anymore.
So my question is, can braces potentially change your face structure? I've heard that they do and now I am afraid, because I have braces. Thankfully I have had no tooth extractions.
Yes i've been wearing braces since 2 years and theres major difference on my chin and jaw. Dont be afraid because i had a massive overbite and it looked soo bad 2 years ago, but braces really improved how i look, now i finally have a prominent jaw and chin lol
@@S1gmaBallz That's awesome, I'm happy for you. I've had braces for a year, but I don't think they've changed my facial structure too much. My bottom teeth don't want to budge but I do not want any teeth extracted under any circumstances because it will make my overbite worse. I like my face the way it is for the most part, and my bottom teeth have really improved even though they aren't completely perfect.
@@darciee.7337 trust me once you take them off you will see a massive difference 👍🏻 first year was kinda weak for me too ngl but over time it really improved, btw i got 2 of my teeth out and i was scared to hell that its gonna look bad but the gaps closed so they look normal now lol
@@S1gmaBallz Yeah, I hope it's a good change for me, thanks. My orthodontist did say that pulling teeth on my bottom jaw would make my overbite worse. My top teeth moved just fine. That's why I don't want any teeth pulled.
Just incase he didn't elaborate, The vertical length of your maxilla (that space between your top lip and nose) is what determines high or low cheekbones. a.k.a the philtrum
@@quack4800 🥲hell yeahi have thin and short lips are you confident with ur lips ,,i am very insecure idk why??i was never before but my friend once commented n from that day i am very insecure
@@kirank.3316 I’m lot that confident either , when I laugh it all disappears 😂 But I like looking up at people with thin lips who are beautiful , like Tom Holland 😂 It shows that there are certain features that aren’t the beauty standards and still beautiful, we don’t all look the same, and we won’t, loving yourself is underrated
@@kirank.3316 and the fact that you were never insecure before your “friend” pointed it out proves that there’s nothing wrong or different having thin lips , it’s a beautiful aesthetic , it suits your face more than any other lip type
So are men supposed to have both a tall face and a short midface? In your earlier videos, you suggested that short and square faces are ideal for men and are masculinizing but here you say that men have taller faces.
@@QOVESStudio In the video regarding the jawline it says that the length of the ramus determines the face shape from long and oval to short and square. So my understanding is that if a long ramus is a masculine trait then the shorter facial height also should be.
@@michal261 By natural design, men have longer ramus = a longer face than women. HOWEVER, the angle of the ramus also contributes to the length. Say a person's face grows downward, where the ramus angle is like 160 degrees or something ridiculous, then his face would be longer compare to if his ramus angle was 90 degrees (completely square off). So, the most masculine looking face is likely one with long, thick ramus, with the ramus angle at 90 degrees or very close to that.
Does anyone else just feel sick watching these? I find it fascinating but it just makes me sad. Like, I get it. I don't have a perfect face never did, never will. And even if I did it wouldn't cure my other host of things I need to fix about myself. When you really break it down, there's no real way to change the hand you were dealt. Sure we can all do hours of working out, expensive makeup, hair extensions, waxing, tweezing, tannint, and then trying to become less awkward/more social but then you have to put that all ontop of all the other real stuff you have to do. It never really ends and the bar keeps moving farther and farther away, not to mention the older you get the altogether harder it all becomes. I'm genuinely curious what everyone else thinks about all this? At what point do we give up?
That's the thing, your mindset on beauty is the key thing while watching these videos. I like understanding how humans work and how attractiveness varies region to region or feature to feature. You can even learn from it and take it as a task to self-improvement to look better. The one thing I keep in mind is everything in moderation... don't become too obsessed and binge-watch these videos but it doesn't hurt to learn. Beauty is a science. :P
You need to stop watching these. The perspective you're looking through is one of self hate. You are looking to criticize yourself because you'll never reach "perfection", but there's a reason very few people look like models. If everybody looked like that, they wouldn't be models, because they wouldn't be unique anymore. You do not need to look like a model to gain love from other people or have a happy life. You also don't need it to have approval for yourself, but that is a choice you can choose to make or not make. Is the love you show yourself conditioned on how you look? Do you want it to be? Or is watching these videos and having these standards self abuse? Would you treat a child like that, getting upset with them for not fitting beauty standards? Why do you have less compassion for yourself as opposed to others? You will never live a happy life if you are always criticizing yourself. Even models have some of the lowest self esteem on the planet from being exposed to the beauty industry, despite being the ones setting the "standard". You can choose to live a life full of constant self hate, but no matter how much you "improve" or change, there will always be more, because you look at yourself as something that needs to be fixed, so you will continue to have that perspective. You don't need to be fixed, you need to be loved. And you need to realize that other people's approval doesn't mean shit. "You could be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and someone is still going to hate peaches". But your own approval is the difference between health + happiness and misery + poverty consciousness relative to life. Think of yourself like a child. What would a child need to feel loved? Do that for yourself. Treat yourself with kindness. There are no standards you need to live by, except the ones you set (and perhaps legal ones), and you can choose to release them. What do you really want? To fit a standard, or to be loved regardless of that standard? Also, you will grow old and die anyway. Youth isn't forever unless you die young. Do you want to spend your life worrying about how you look? Is that how you want to spend your life? Or do you want to find people to connect with, a place to call home, inner peace? What does a child need? You are no different. You deserve that kindness and support, and you deserve it from yourself. (You deserve it from others to, but I think you are more unkind to yourself then others are towards you.)
@Bekas I understand that perspective, but looking at her profile picture, she doesn't fall out of the ordinary, and she looks kinda pretty to me, so I do not think she would have that kind of trouble. I understand what you mean though, but even in that case, if you were being discriminated against, surgery would likely be the only thing to help. Even then, watching these kinds of videos isn't going to do you any good anyway, so it's still not super helpful to be watching them (unless you're sending them to your doctor or something). You're right in that there is a difference between hating how you look vs other people treating you poorly because of it. My original comment wasn't aimed towards that crowd. If that's you, then a decision would have to be made whether or not to change, and if it would genuinely make your life easier to look differently. For some people it definitely does make life easier, but I also feel like a lot of people think they look worse then they really do simply because of things like social media/filters/advertisements. It would really depend on the person. Also, some people take it too far, and you can definitely tell they've had a lot done. It's like makeup, where you can use it to enhance what's already there and look more like yourself, or you can use it to try to cover up everything in an effort to fit the "ideal" and you kinda lose any humanness left (you've seen the people with lots of botox or fillers or obvious nose jobs or chin jobs, or even like how everyone looks the same in Korea after surgeries, or how it's trendy to look like a Kardashian). But there's a difference between that and something considered "corrective", so it really depends. Unless you are so far out there that people are discriminating, I feel like people need to be very careful with anything permanent, especially because trends change all the time.
Not sure that's the point of his videos. He's breaking down the actual physical reasons why different cultures accept different beauty standards. Don't think we are supposed to compare and pick on ourselves after watching these videos lol 😊

It’s literally a roll of the dice. There’s a reason why we are so rare. All agencies need is 4 Polaroids to see if you’re a “model”. 💯 you have to have a downward pointing face. That’s where the eyes come in which is prob the most important piece. The further back your eyes set determines your “hunter” or “prey” I have hunter. All agencies right now at least; want hunter.
