How Models Get High Cheekbones (and you can too)

Achieving High Cheekbones: Tips and Tricks

In this video, the speaker discusses how to achieve high cheekbones through strategic design. The speaker explains that people make snap judgments of your character within milliseconds of first seeing your face, and high cheekbones can be advantageous in creating a more attractive appearance. The speaker provides three ways to achieve high cheekbones.

Understanding High Cheekbones

• High cheekbones are found by observing the OG curve, which is an s-shaped curve seen when looking at the face at about a 45-degree angle.

• There are two different kinds of high cheekbones: true and pseudo. True cheekbones occur when the zygomatic bone protrudes beyond the width of your mid-face due to genetics. Pseudo cheekbones give the illusion of higher, more prominent cheekbones and can be achieved by manipulating surrounding features such as cheeks, masseter muscles, jawline, etc.

Reducing Body Fat Percentage

• Underdeveloped cheeks and buccinator muscles give models with low body fat a hollow-cheek look that gives the illusion of higher, more prominent cheekbones.

• To achieve this look yourself, you must reduce your body fat percentage by limiting caloric intake and doing cardio exercises.

Practicing Mewing

• Mewing is a practice recognized by British orthodontist Mike Mew that involves developing masseter muscles through chewing hard foods or gum.

• Bulking up these muscles will pull skin tighter around the jawline area and create an illusion of higher, more prominent cheekbones.

Overall, achieving high cheekbones requires reducing body fat percentage and practicing mewing to develop masseter muscles.

Proper Tongue Posture

In this section, Brett explains proper tongue posture for mewing. He suggests pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth at all times with slight pressure against your maxilla roof. This practice is called time under tension and over time should condition your face to grow upwards and forwards giving you more prominent facial structure.
