The solutions to a big forehead…

I’m all about selflove and believing you are beautiful. Although, sometimes it’s about making the most out of what you have, to finally feel beautiful.

My largest insecurity was my shinny protruding forehead; the first thing people would fix their eyes on when talking to me. This is an anxiety I’ve heard a lot of girls talk about as social media figures such as Kylie Jenner brag about their ‘ideal’ three finger foreheads. Ultimately, is a relatively unchangeable feature of your face; it can feel helpless, but help is on hand…

1. Fringe,

I used to have a fringe and while it seems every girl at some stage of their lives has experimented with a fringe or two; I say try it again! This really helped me to believe I was beautiful, it wasn’t the physical hiding of my forehead but the working with what I had to highlight the attention from my forehead to my eyes… and isn’t that what every girl wants.

2. Make-up contouring,

Today, contouring is done by pretty much every woman in her make-up routine to define the hollows of our cheeks and highlight the angle of our cheek bones; so why not do it to your forehead? Following your hairline with a darker contour cream stick can really shorten and decrease the visual size of your forehead; helping you to feel confident their looking at your beauty not your forehead.

3. Oil and power blotting,

Nothing draws more attention and exaggeration to an area on your face like oil does. Most modern women who wear make-up experience an oily t-zone. But a quick an easy solution to reduce the glowing sign on your forehead that says, ‘look at me’, is an oil blotting sheet or dusting translucent powder. These will quickly absorb and take away any shine or oil on your forehead within a matter of seconds!

4. Hair Bands,

Fabric hairbands can be found in every Topshop, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie across the UK, this can be a bold and stylish way to draw attention onto your fierce fashion and away from any insecurity’s. Furthermore, this solution is significantly less commitment and effort than contouring and a fringe.

5. Hairline enhancer.

Hairline powder is a nifty tool to increase how far down your hairline appears and therefore decreasing the size of your forehead! The powder comes in all different shades and can be bought on line and in drugstores; although if done poorly it can be obvious – it is a super cheap and easy way to physically reduce the visual size of your forehead.

Ultimately, while you may not have the forehead you want, but you can work with what you have to make your insecure disappear and finally love yourself.
