What can a wide forehead be compensated for?
There are multiple ways to compensate for a broad forehead:
- Hairstyle:
a. Bangs: Bangs is one of the most common ways to minimize a broad forehead. Side-swept bangs, curtain bangs, or a full fringe can help to break up the length of the forehead and create a more balanced look.
b. Volume: Adding volume to the hair can also help to draw attention away from the forehead. This can be achieved by using volumizing products, blow drying hair with a round brush, or getting a haircut that adds natural volume.
- Makeup:
a. Contouring: Contouring the forehead with a slightly darker shade of foundation can help to create the illusion of a smaller forehead. Apply the darker shade along the hairline and blend it well.
b. Highlighting: Highlighting the areas just below the eyebrows and on the temples can help to bring attention to those areas and take focus away from the forehead.
c. Eyebrows: Shaping and filling in the eyebrows can also help to draw attention away from the forehead. Make sure to choose an eyebrow shape that complements your face shape and is not too thin or overdone.
- Accessories:
a. Hats and Headbands: Wearing hats, headbands, or scarves can help to conceal a broad forehead. Choose accessories that are proportional to your face shape and hair.
b. Jewelry: Wearing statement earrings, necklaces, or glasses can also draw attention away from the forehead and create a more balanced look.
Remember that the key is to find a balance that works for you and your individual features. Experiment with different techniques until you find a combination that you feel confident in.
