Are high cheekbones the only way to be pretty?
26% Normal
17 Comments

I am very insecure and that shouldnt be abnormal...almost everyone feels this way. I loathe everytime watching the televison. I always see all these beautiful girls with the gorgeous cheekbones become fashion bombshells. As in myself,i have a round face with big cheeks.....yet i have some nice features but their but average. COme on really, do you ever see a model or actress wihout beautiful high cheekbones lightening up the screen. I think not. Am i just being a stupid paranoid loser that listens too much to cruel hollywood trends? and is it normal for me to ponder at the mirror wishing for those cheekbones or is a round average face just as beautiful?
Do you think it's normal?

To be honest, I'm not sure it really matters. Beauty is subjective, and what's attractive to one person might not be to the next. Cheekbones aren't really something I notice on a person though, unless they're really thin cos it makes them look kinda gaunt. If you want to look nice, just work on accentuating the features of yourself that you like, and don't think about the ones you don't : )

who cares about nice cheekbones when your brain is the size of a pea?

I used to wonder that too, but I find so many women attractive that have rounder faces, like me, and now I really believe that I am gorgeous, even without super high cheekbones.

There are no combinations of features, big or small, thin or fat, short or long, that thousands of guys somewhere aren't hot for.

We are so easy, you can hardly believe it.

Stop watching TV, be worth knowing and good things will happen for you.

Okay, I have a roundish face too, and I know how you feel.
First of all, those high cheekbones: they rnt real! They're there, but u wouldn't believe how much makeup and highlighter makeup artists put on them, even men have it on their cheekbones!
Second: I'm a very very nervous person, but I'm confident in myself at the same time. I just worry too much. You know what helps tho? It really does. When you feel insecure or nervous, just say to yourself, "to hell with all these people! Who cares about them, I'm me and that's never gonna change! I'm awesome!" you might not believe it, but it actually made me feel stronger and more confident, lol

High cheekbones are only important if you're a boy. They need all tyhe help they can get.

For a girl though, the mere fact that you can be described as 'she' is enough to make you magnificent.

don't worry, There are lots of famous people without high cheek bones like- beyonce, rihanna and so on, If you think they have high cheekbones then it's just because, they highlight the cheekbones and make shadows under it,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think you are pretty and guys do why would you care otherwise?

That is just stereotypical.
You DO NOT need high cheekbones to be pretty. I find them a little scary actually.O.o

Plus, I've seen alot of models without high cheekbones.:D

I have high cheekbones, and I am also intelligent. Prettiness is not just about high cheek bones. Other facial structures can make your look pretty as well.

i have to ask why you think that models and actresses set the stasge for what beauty is. I've seen many many ladies that I find beautiful yet no modeling agency would ever take them.
I think it's unhealthy for you to let that bother you and I can only draw from your post that you have insecurities. Maybe you are too critical of your body. Maybe there are many out there who think you are gorgeous.

I agree. The issue, as you stated from the onset, is that you lack confidence. And you seem to want to torture yourself further by comparing personal features you don't have with idealized versions of those that do (high cheekbones? So what).

So drop the self flagellation & make something of your own talents. You will find your confidence levels suddenly change for the better.

I have high cheek bones with an oval face and i think i'm atractive but i kinda envy girls like you with the cute round faces, i think that is way more attractive.BTW you'll look 16 4 eva. I guess the grass is always greener.

I have high cheekbones, and it is definetly not the only way to be pretty. You could have high cheekbones, and if all your features are disproportionate (ex. eyes, nose, mouth) then you aren't going to be attractive. Many rounder-faced girls are gorgeous, ex. Selena Gomez and many others.

Not all of them have high cheek bones, least I don't think so..
But either way, it dosent matter, because having a round face is beautiful too
I think you should think of it the way I do
I almost never get jealous anymore
I don't know what happened to me
But everything I used to be jealous of
I now appreciate
If I see a girl who is extremly beautiful, I smile or just think 'wow she's very pretty' :)
and everythings okay
My confidence is pretty good, I'm working on it, and its been getting alot better, so its not like im a super model myself or anything saying all this
anyway, thinking like that, makes everything so much more chill =]

I always found high cheekbones sort of gross, actually. It's like their face is too long. Also, it means the Cheekies (ehehe) have like way more room in their mouth because their teeth are higher which just grosses me out.
