Title: Cheeks
Post by: Fate on March 30, 2011, 12:58:58 AM
does anyone know how to get fuller cheeks other than waiting for the HRT to take effect?
Tried make up but it cant add to what isn't there, blusher helps but it dosent help it fill out and look rounder.  :'(

dont have enough flesh on it so the bony features are very apparent, partially the outline at the edges

am trying to do as much as a i can now as my passport expires in july, been delaying changeing the photo documents as i want it to look tidy
i could renew it again with a new photo, but it gets costly. i been advise to put my hair into a bob for now since its a bit short but i would need fuller cheeks for it to work

Contouring.  highlights on top of the bone.  Shadowing under.  Blush on the bone itself.  There are several videos on YouTube that show it.  You can use the videos that the Drag Queens have, just tone down the colors, as it is for daytime not night.

This. Although I'd avoid the DQ vids, especially if you're after a daytime look. ;)

HRT will add some fullness to your cheeks, but it doesn't work miracles. Makeup is your friend.

Or try the patience route. All in due time.  :)
