  • I have a round face and after loosing 26 pounds it is much more defined. Less bloated and puffy, my cheekbones are better emphasized now and I have a well defined jaw line. I don't need to use contour makeup anymore.

    I have a naturally round face and when I was younger it contributed to my borderline anorexia. No matter what the scale and my clothing sizes said, I would look in the mirror and think I was fat in part because of my face shape.

    I snapped out of it when a random stranger mistook me for a meth user one day. Also, pictures of me from when I was underweight don't show a pretty face with model cheekbones and defined jaw, they show the face of someone who is not eating enough to stay healthy.

    I'm naturally round faced, sort of like a potato but here's my before and after shots so far (face wise) so let me know if you think mine has changed?

    Before (15st 6lbs)

    I'm a roundy, too! =)

    At my largest:

    I'm still about the same weight, and this is my most recent pic:

    The weight seems to be sticking to my face. Lol.

    And this was what a good hairstyle can do to un-round my face:

    That random guy next to me is now my husband. =)

    aw your so cute! i used to think i was fat too back in school and now i just want to smack myself and go back to that weight! lol

    Haha, thank you. I'm 20, training to be a teacher, and some of the kids have told me I'm 15. Crack up!

    I know what you mean. You think you're fat, then, but really, you're not! =)

    In that first wedding picture, that was a bridal shoot with some photographer friends. I was at my largest. The actual wedding photos, I was 6kg lighter. =)
  • I've been called babyface quite a few times. It's so annoying. :')

    OMG! I totally am a flagship for round faces. I ALWAYS have to do a off center profile to make it look not so domineering. Even my husband says I have a prominent/huge chin.

    It's so unfair because my mother has the most gaunt face you will ever see. Her face is very long and she has cheek bones that are very obvious. But she has super tiny lips... barely anything really. My dad on the other hand has the super round baby face and he is not fat at all. It is just genetics where he has a HUGE chin (no double chin thankfully LOL) and absolutely no cheek bones. I inherited my dad's face big time and look awful with hats on and short pixie cuts.

    Thankfully I can rid of the double chin which I've been successful with but I'll never have a photogenic jaw line. It's hilarious because my hair is pretty bushy when it's long and my head will not fit in a woman's baseball cap. It's too big! I can't even wear women's bracelets even though I can touch my thumb to my middle finger around my wrist. :sad:

    My sister didn't get the big forehead/head size like I did but she has HUGE baby cheeks. Thankfully she is super pretty because they aren't very natural looking. I know nobody else who has more chipmunk features than she does. It's funny because she's always been very thin!

    My youngest sister was luckiest and got the thin face of my mother but has a HUGE forehead so she never wears her hair up. She is also extremely thin!

    Genetics can and will win over any type of weight loss that you do BUT you can minimize the issues by being a healthy weight!

    I hope I didn't burst anyone's bubble of hope and my family is a bit on the extreme side of face issues but we all have our techniques to cover up things. :laugh:
