Beauty may only be skin deep, but that doesn't mean we don't all want to put our best faces forward. That goes for chins, too. Disguising a weak chin and making it look stronger can help you feel more confident and project a more self-assured look. With some close attention to grooming, strategically placed makeup and careful planning, you can say goodbye to the appearance of a weak chin in no time.

If you are a woman, or a man who prefers not to grow a beard, apply a narrow, horizontal patch of highlighting makeup with your fingers or a highlighting brush to the center of your chin.

Lightly brush a face powder that's one shade darker than your natural skin tone along your jaw line. To finish the look and avoid obvious makeup lines, use a large powder brush to apply a light dusting of face powder than matches your skin tone all over your face.

When having photos taken, ask the photographer to shoot your face from a slightly elevated angle. Prop your chin on your arm or hand. Push your chin out slightly to help emphasize its appearance.
