Style Tips for a Weak Chin (NOT about Plastic Surgery!)

[@gingerhalo123]

I have an overbite therefore a weak chin and I always wondered why I think turtlenecks suit me! Very interesting. I own more turtlenecks than the average person lol. Seems like I’m doing everything else I can correctly! Long high contrast dark hair 👌🏽but I should probably stop wearing it in a claw clip all the time lol

[@kristindawg7133]

I also have an overbite and own more turtle necks than most omg! I always love how i look in them

[@albacorona2472]

I have a tiny chin but look so good in turtlenecks, with my hair up and in a bob too 😂

[@tybulmer4034]

Same! 🎉🎉

[@NoOne-wt3sv]

Maybe an orthodontist can help you jaw misalignment. If you were interested, that is.

[@divyanshigupta3667]

High chokers in jewellery will give same effect?

[@bridgetteteapp]

Omg this video is so niche and perfect for me 🙏🏻 I have a small chin that goes even more back when I smile. You have no idea how many times I’ve googled to see if anyone feels the way I do 😫 even after losing weight my chin neck jaw area still appears like there’s no definition

[@MrVinceMunro]

Judging by your profile picture, your chin is on the smaller side but it does look defined. It fits your overall proportions I think, so I wouldn't worry too much about it! You look great!

[@Carrie-sgda]

I have a recessed chin/jaw , I loved a gradient lob cut that I had just above my shoulders , I had noticed It had increased the sharpness in my face including my jawline. Due to how short my face is I noticed I couldn't have hair any shorter than that, despite how people claim all Gamines look good in bobs and pixies. Thin , dark , cotton turtle necks are great on me and again increase sharpness. I think chunky turtlenecks are best on natural types and can look really off on delicate , small bone structures. Yes a recessed chin does bring a youthful look which I think is very ingenue. Although I have done these things I have never done them with conscious intention , so thank you for outlining this and now I can be more aware and do it intentionally. Id like to add I use self tanner's that defines my jawline and creates separation between the neck and face . Obviously there's makeup too and men can grow and define their facial hair to define their jawline and create separation.

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤❤❤

[@avatarophelia]

since we're talking about weak chins i want to add that it sometimes might be a sign of a malocclusion known as retrognathia - and it's much more common than you may realise. in my country the surgery for it is funded by the government (although you still have to go through an orthodontic treatment and pay for it yourself). i know the video is about everything BUT a surgery, however if you think you might have it, i recommend visiting a good orthodontist or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (since most orthodontists have no idea about treating malocclusions requiring a surgery) because it's not only about looks, it can also cause serious health problems such as migraine, trouble with breathing and biting, slouching and more

[@SofiaCalotti]

It can also be a sign of a forward swallow and lower tongue resting position instead of a backward swallow and your tongue resting on the ridge behind your upper teeth, which can affect which muscles in and around your mouth you use. In my country this is something speech pathologists and sometimes dentists and orthodontists can help with. It's called oro-myofunctional therapy.

[@one4_three]

woah it's my first time hearing about this, may i know which country you're from?

[@bhavnaganiga6272]

I use medium to long earrings to have a flattering effect on my lower half of the face

[@stylerefinement]

Thanks for sharing the tip!

[@divyanshigupta3667]

Shouldn't it be highlighting the weak chin? She suggested not to keep short hair at the level of chin so I think long earrings at the chin level will be highlighting it more?

[@livingcolours773]

@@divyanshigupta3667 long earrings will go below the chin level...

[@TrinaGallo]

@@livingcolours773 👏🏻 Yes! I love how my face looks in long earrings. Especially sleek drop-earrings! They seem to elongate my neck.

[@nankosa82]

Dear Jenn, you are terrific. Who else would address this without advising fillers and surgery...

[@lunahelena5329]

For example Aly Art ❤

[@MrVinceMunro]

If you do think about plastic surgery though, go for a sliding genioplasty and NOT a silicone implant. I've had both, first the implant and it shifted and looked misplaced in my case. With a sliding genioplasty the can also change the height of your chin an it looks completely natural, which is very important imo.

[@sooookawaii]

I have this kind of chin and the only good thing is looking younger but still I’m self conscious of my chubby short face

[@MrVinceMunro]

@@sooookawaii I recommend making a design in photoshop of how you would like your chin to look like. Side and front. And study facial anatomy online a bit to see what good proportions are and to which extent you can use it in your design, to avoid looking uncanny or strange. If you then feel like you want to change the chin, find a good jaw surgeon. Not a plastic surgeon.

[@Sofia-kd4ci]

Okay random but if any of y’all could answer this…. My jaw looks short Like my chin is seen But my jaw just looks shorter from the side when compared to my forehead is it a weak jaw and if I get a genioplasty can I just push it forward without altering anything else?!😭

[@MrVinceMunro]

@@Sofia-kd4ci Do you maybe have an overbite? It could be that you have a set back lower jaw with a prominent chin. What they do is they move the lower jaw (sometimes upper too) forward and you'll get braces to align your jaws and teeth. If the chin is too big they will set it back, if it's too weak they will bring it forward. I've had an upper jaw surgery myself, you'll look like yourself once you are healed but just way more pretty and balanced. There is no pain but alot of discomfort after surgery, but in my personal opinion it is SO worth it. You'll enjoy the results for a lifetime!

[@g3andrea]

This makes sense. The color and the softness of that sweater is very flattering on you!

[@stylerefinement]

[@tigre9271]

I have a tip.. i will define my cupids bow, with a lip pencil slightly overlinining it. And slightly on the edges of my top lip. But i slightly UNDERLINE the MIDDLE of the lower, lip to give the illusion of a slightly longer chin. I have a smallish mouth with decent fullness. So, i don't know if someone with a thin lower lip will want to underline the lower lip.

[@EbonyWhitee]

Sometimes I do a trade off. If I need to wear my hair up or pulled back completely I’ll keep my hair dark. And if I want to wear blonde hair I’ll wear it down, usually half up half down because the half ponytail balances my round face. Looking back at my pictures and videos, this is something I’ve been doing for years unknowingly. I was just styling myself to look my best, but it turns out I was subconsciously creating symmetry and balance.

[@madmarrr]

I have a very small chin (and short neck) and contrast really helps. Also, if you have longer hair I would recommend long curtain bangs that cut in at the chin. This type of contrast and styling has worked wonders for me. Short hair and lighter hair just makes my face look super short and wide to the point that it doesn’t even look like me at all anymore.

[@samanthaj2303]

Your videos are so helpful. Can you do one about how people who look more flattering with long hair can wear updos? For certain events like exercise or physical activities updos/hair back is mandatory or preferred. It would be nice to find some hacks to wear hair back or up but still do it in a Flattering way

[@stylerefinement]

Let me see what I can come up with!

Ivanka had plastic surgery which included a chin implant, a nose job and cheek implants among other procedures.

[@loosilu]

Yep. Ivanka tried to be a model, but was told she couldn't because of her face. She naturally has dark hair and eyes, and before surgery, looked like Don Jr in drag. She had very extensive surgery on her face, including a significant nose job and chin implant. She bleaches her hair and wears green contacts.

[@BrynieB]

@@loosilushe likely had double jaw surgery, mandible and maxillary advancement. Seeing how recessed her chin was likely she had airway issues. Having gone through jaw surgery for airway issues and having a similar face structure of Ivankas before surgery photos, my guess is she likely had MMA surgery.

[@loosilu]

@BrynieB interesting! She failed as a model because of her face

But what if you have a prominent square jaw and the chin, despite not being recessed/weak, still appears flat and shortens the face?

[@stylerefinement]

I think it really depends on the question: do you want to add emphasis / weight to your lower third, or take the attention away from it?

[@Jjangbunbun]

Me too

[@divyanshigupta3667]

​@@stylerefinementhey I have a square face with short receding chin and short neck. Can you please advise me according to that

[@magdalenaborek8350]

What about wearing long or big earrings? It seems to work for me. I cant have my hair loose, it makes my round face look even wider

[@stylerefinement]

I think it's definitely one of the factors, but depends on how long or how big as well :)

[@Jjangbunbun]

My problem though is i have chubby cheeks with a short chin so these tips make my cheeks look fatter🙁

[@littlelady7843]

That sounds like you look cute and youthful.

[@AnnafromHungarylvNW]

I think all these women look beutiful and a simple contour makeup and maybe a choker necklace would've been enough, especially if they make their eyes bigger with makeup. You could go for a total doll or anime character look.

0:33 best description of what it means to have a "weak chin"! Had heard it quite often but never fully understood what it means lol. I don't think i have a weak chin but it isn't strong or prominent either 🤔 my chin is just softly rounded, in line with the rest of my oval face...

[@NadjaAntonova]

thank you for this video! but what is the option for those who have a weak chin AND a short neck? Here, a turtleneck is not really an option. The most obvious option to me is darker longer hair as suggested and elongating the neck with a V-neckline.

[@stylerefinement]

I would agree with you about using hair & v-necks, long necklaces, etc.!

[@divyanshigupta3667]

So if we have short neck we need to with v neck lines instead of turtles? Also what about long earrings?

It’s just so refreshing to find a young woman putting out a healthy message of accepting ourselves as we are, embracing our differences whilst encouraging just enhancing our assets ourselves in our own bathrooms without the need to become a clone of some poor celebrity who also struggles with issues of self esteem.

If things like bobs hilight the lower facial outline and bring more empthases to recessed chins, would face framing side pieces have the same effect? I have a recessed chin and overall wide face that I’d like to deemphasize. I’ve heard that side pieces would be good at that but now I’m having second thoughts

[@zahraamin164]

[@AmyLeeAngelLove]

Thank you for the tips! I have a recessed chin and you are so right about turtlenecks. It just makes everything look... just right. My weak chin makes my premature jowls appear worse than it should. I'm entering my 40s in a few months and everything is starting to go downhill. I cut my hair which is now an inch above shoulders. It makes my drooping jawline stand out even more. Do you have any tips for an aging lower face (jowls)? Thanks!

[@nfvjgrofgjvoldlkgvlo]

ok but I have a recessed lower third that is Long not short at all. its literally my longest facial third but definitely recessed too. now what?

[@stylerefinement]

It's where you have to decide what to prioritize: Do you want to make your lower third appear more or less prominent?

[@nfvjgrofgjvoldlkgvlo]

I want it to appear ideal which is even to the other thirds but not recessed. @@stylerefinement

[@livingcolours773]

Hello: long face with short chin and long neck here! I am also tall. So my face looks weirdly small despite the lenght. A short bob looks horrible on me, despite what I read elsewhere, it makes my face look round in a bad way. And I love turtlenecks, but they need to be quality. So thank you for this video! I will try and go for a shoulder lenght bob next time :) But I think a long neck is pretty, depending on the overall structure.

I am somewhat lucky to have an upturned short-ish nose together with my weak chin. Weak chin makes a nose appear longer by default and this kinda softens the effect a little.

Great video! I was wondering why turtlenecks suit me, and you gave me the answer. However, I have a question: I have a weak chin, a long neck, and heavier cheeks and jawline that I wish to make appear softer. What would you recommend?

[@stylerefinement]

I think that I would recommend face framing layers with a middle part that can frame your cheeks/jawline in a soft way, while keeping the rest of your hair at least shoulder level. I'd obviously need to see the actual face to make an accurate recommendation, but that would be the general reco based on your description :)

[@one4_three]

May I ask about what might be the effect of a buccal fat removal to the appearanc of the chin? ofc i know it won't get longer but can it look more defined?

[@melissacheok2564]

Thank you for sharing this content. It is very well-explained among the many I've seen. I have always been insecure about my chin (which made my cheek appear more prominent and jarring to the point I was badly teased in high school years - "fat cheeks"). A dentist eventually discovered I had a problematic overbite and jaw condition where my lower jaw doesn't grow in proportion to my upper jaw (forgot the clinical term).. but they did orthodontic treatment and I had a double-jaw surgery. Despite this, my jaw is still weak and I still feel vulnerable about it. Now I know i should at least have shoulder-length hair (not short hair) and try to add prominence to the chin area by having more contrast in that area. Is having bangs or no bangs better? Will bangs shorten my face more and pull more attention to my big cheekbones? Thank you!

[@stylerefinement]

I think bangs can depend on the rest of your facial proportions, but generally speaking, yes - covering your forehead does bring more attention to the lower face. I would suggest curtain bangs or thinner, wispy styles of bangs to make sure parts of your forehead and eyebrows are still visible! :)

[@mindy561]

How about for big ears? (me) xo

[@stylerefinement]

Big ears tend to add more width to the face when you wear styles that expose your ears! Depending on the rest of your face you might like/dislike this effect :)

[@missstrangequark]

Despite her recessed chin (and everything else 😬) I do think Ivanka is very pretty. But she did have some surgery and fillers. And I see nothing wrong with long necks. Quite opposite. It makes you look more elegant.

[@stylerefinement]

Nothing wrong with long necks at all! I'm envious of long necks :)

[@michellepedersen3422]

What about bangs ? Does that make receding chin look worser from the side? My nose seems big because of my receding chin and I was thinking side bangs on both sides could balance out my big nose, but maybe it has the opposite effect on my receding chin? I really hope that you will answer my question 🤞🏼

[@stylerefinement]

It depends on your proportions, but generally speaking, covering your forehead would bring more emphasis downwards to your nose and chin area :)

[@ReneeDeane]

what if you have a short wide neck and narrow rounded shoulders; plus a weak chin?

[@stylerefinement]

I would say to keep your hair at shoulder level so that the hair around the neck can create shadows for a slimming/lengthening effect as well as bring more definition to your chin area, but not long enough to create a visual break in your shoulder line to make the shoulders appear narrower :)

[@ReneeDeane]

Thank you; I have cut my hair to the end of my kneck; would cutting it to my chin to highlight my eyes and cheekbones fix it?; until I can grow it back out?@@stylerefinement

Natural blonde here and I like to pitch my two cents in about the blonde hair matter every chance I can 😂 people see blonde hair a certain way. It's like the red lip of hair color. I'm telling you, if you're reading this and thinking of bleaching your hair, brunette hair is gorgeous. You think blonde is youthful but I'm telling you it's not. Being vibrant is what is youthful and blonde is probably going to take away your sparkle.... You're also confusing the cosmetic companies about what a "blonde" is and now I can't buy an eyebrow pencil from the drugstore. 😂

[@littlelady7843]

I guess no one likes what they have. Women with strong chins are often perceived negatively, too manly, too mean, look order etc. So they want to soften the chin. Now the ones with weak chins want to look sharper, stronger. Maybe it is easier to just like what you have and focus on other things that are more useful and productive-like being good at something instead of staring at the mirror all day long.

[@spawnofdanger]

Right? I have a delicate chin but I’ve never felt bad about it. It’s cute and youthful and makes a person look more like an anime/ cartoon character!
