Aesthetics of the chin, simply put, is to judge whether the chin conforms to the aesthetics of a standard beauty from the length, curvature, and width of the chin.
Specific criteria, including but not limited to the following:
When the facial expression is relaxed and the lips are naturally closed:
1. Chin The length of the chin is twice the length of the middle face, and the length of the chin accounts for 1/6 of the length of the whole face;
2. The width of the chin does not exceed the width of the bilateral cheekbones;
3. The lip is located within the line connecting the tip of the nose and the chin, or three points are on a line;
4. The depression between the lower lip and the chin (geniolabial groove) is about 4mm;
5. The jaw line is naturally round and smooth.
Does such a precise calculation standard seem extraordinarily complicated and harsh…
In fact, the way we measure the chin in life is very simple. We always default to round and sharp The upturned chin is used as a measure of good-looking, and it is even taken for granted that if the chin is squarer and shorter, it should be called a “flaw” of the face.
But in fact, square chins and flat chins can also be beautiful. There are many such examples.
This kind of square chin, especially on the faces of many men, often appears.
For example, Xiao Zhan, Zhu Yilong, and Song Weilong have obvious jaw lines, and their texture will go up immediately.Popular male celebrity looks.
Some senior handsome men in the past also had similar face shapes, such as Wu Yanzu and Huang Xiaoming. Their common feature is that the facial lines are tough and sharp, and they have a flat and square chin. Especially under the changes of light and shadow, the shadows and outlines are more obvious and deep, giving people a sense of maturity and stability.

The square chin is also reasonable on girls. It is precisely because the facial lines of the square chin are full of contours and have a sense of masculinity, which makes these women with square chins look extraordinarily heroic and full of atmosphere. As early as the 1990s, the square chin was popular in Asian film and television circles.
Looking at the recognizable beauties at home and abroad, Lin Qingxia, Liang Luoshi, Angelina Jolie all have obvious square chins and unique line beauty, and all of them can support a drama bigThe heroine’s face. Wearing women’s clothing, they are the most beautiful women; wearing men’s clothing, they can also be more handsome than men.
There is also Keira Knightley, the British rose, who is heroic and heroic, walking freely between the extremes of domineering and gentle.
Many heroines in current workplace dramas also have square-jaw facial configurations, such as Yao Chen; or Li Yuchun, who is full of aura on the stage, all have sharp-edged facial contours.
One of the benefits of a square chin is that it does notIt is easy to look old. Girls with square chins tend to look more mature than their peers when they are young, but as they grow older and their skin ages, because the mandibular angles on both sides of the cheeks play a role in supporting the skin, the skin on both sides of the face will not loosen faster. Therefore, it is not easy to appear old in appearance.
Comparing Brigitte Lin in different periods, you will find that her face, which has tough lines, does not seem to have changed much with age. She is still “the number one beauty in Southeast Asia”, with the same temperament as before.
How can ordinary girls with square chins look beautiful?
I have to say that although these female stars with prosperous beauty have the same square chins as us, they are superior in facial features and good temperament, which is enough to neutralize the abruptness caused by square chins feel.
We really can’t generalize, a square chin must be a high-end face, just as we can’t put aside the whole and only look at the part, but we can’t put aside the part and just look at the whole. Those girls with advanced faces are not born with a unique temperament, but also find their own uniqueness step by step in the process of slowly exploring and adjusting the day after tomorrow.
Behind the high-end sense is not only the square chin, but also the coordination of other facial features, makeup, and hairstyles, and even professional stylists to help them create it carefully, so that the overall look is perfect. It looks more advanced.
Most of us normal square-jawed girls tend toHaving different facial features such as small facial features, not three-dimensional, short neck, etc., coupled with inappropriate choices of makeup and hairstyle, will make one’s face look abrupt or rustic.
What needs to be understood is that girls with square chins don’t have to feel “imperfect” because of their chins. On the contrary, we can learn to use our “imperfect” features, regard “flaws” as your characteristics, find our own style, and finally become what we like.
So instead of hiding our square chin and square face, it is better to show it openly, which will make it more majestic.

Emphasis on the sense of lines, increasing the three-dimensionality of the surface
Since the chin is square and the face is square, then reverse thinking to make the facial features look more prominent. Sweep the jawbone with contouring, so that the line of the mandible and the chin are smoothly connected, and the lines of the face are emphasized. Use the nose shadow to modify the bridge of the nose, weaken the cheekbones, and highlight the root, tip of the nose and brow bone to highlight the three-dimensionality of the face. But it should be noted that the grooming should not be too hard, otherwise it will make the makeup look dirty.
At the same time, let the facial features be relaxed as much as possible and avoid being too concentrated, which is also the key to making the face of a girl with a square chin look grand. May wish to change from the eyebrows first~

Eyebrows with radians but no edges and corners
The eyebrow shape is the best weapon to modify the tough face shape. If the jaw line is too obvious, the weight of the eyebrows should be strengthened. The eyebrows with radians and ups and downs without strong edges and corners have an upward trend in shape, which can move the visual focus upwards, reduce the presence of the jaw, and at the same time not look fierce.
The two makeups of Keira Knightley are almost exactly the same, the only difference is the radian of the eyebrows. It’s just that the eyebrows are “turned into a bigger bend”, and the original square jaw is not so protruding.
In fact, the slightly wider eyebrows and rounded eyebrows are most suitable for Asian girls with flat faces, square chins, and square faces.

You can always believe in the power of lip makeup
Use a lipstick with a higher saturation, focus the attention of the face on the lips, just It will make people ignore whether you have a square chin or a short chin, anyway, it just looks good.

Avoid the center of gravity of hairstyles piled up under the face
Because the chin is often visually Increase the boneiness and volume of the jaw, and lower the center of gravity. Therefore, pulling up the center of gravity of the hairstyle can effectively neutralize the toughness of the outline brought by the square chin, so as to achieve visual balance.
For example, girls who are afraid of the heat in summer and want to comb their hair can be like KeiraKnightley creates a fluffy and high skull top in this way, and the difference between the low skull top and the high skull top on the left and right sides is still quite large.
Creating a fluffy parted wavy hairstyle is the choice of many beauties with square chins. Modify the tough facial lines with soft medium and large wavy curves, and you can also turn the tail of the hair outwards, or only show half of the side face. For girls with square chins, it is more suitable to show more face than to cover up the whole face. At the same time, it must be ensured that the largest curvature of the hair appears on the upper part of the head in order to exert the maximum effect of this hairstyle, and the length of the hair should not be too long.
If you happen to have a square chin + narrow cheeks, then straight short or long hair like Zhao Jiali and Xiang Yanjing is very Suitable for you, it is a cool, noble and glamorous beauty type. It feels refreshing and refreshing, and it is especially suitable for summer.
The eight-character bangs that are very popular among fashionable hot girls recently are also very suitable for girls with square chins. Just adjust the sparseness of the bangs according to your needs.
Finally, do you still think the square chin is a “flaw” after seeing this?
In fact, it is not only the square chin, I found that Many girls around me are very concerned about their facial features, even to the point of rivalry. We are not afraid of imperfect bones, but we are afraid of being too beautiful. So instead of being overwhelmed by your own “flaws”, it is better to let it Take it as a characteristic, reverse thinking, and beautify your personality.
Only when you recognize yourself, like yourself, and discover your own unique beauty from the bottom of your heart, will the whole person shine. Perhaps this is the most enviable Yes.
