It's not fair that you're able to change your body by lifting weights and running on a treadmill, but it's impossible to change the look of your face--or is it? While you're already aware that makeup can do wonders for your face, there are actually some facial exercises that can help you out, too. They might make you feel a bit silly, but it's worth a shot if you want to get the look you've always wanted. Here are a few exercises and contouring tips to make your jawline look more defined:

The Magic of Makeup
All you need to make your jawline more defined is some bronzer and highlighter. You should start by brushing your bronzer across your jawline. Then you can use highlighter to draw a short line a little bit above your jawline. After that, you should blend. You might also want to dust a bit of bronzer on your neck to make sure that your makeup doesn't actually look like makeup. The more natural it looks, the better. If you can't figure out exactly what to do, you might want to check out thebeautydepartment.com for in depth instructions.

Chipmunk Cheeks
Ready for some silly sounding exercises? This first one requires you to fill your mouth with air and puff out your cheeks. Once you do that, you should push the air from the left side to the right side, and then the right side to the left side. Keep repeating the process and it can actually give you a more defined jawline!

Smile through the Pain
For this exercise, you have to clench your teeth. After you do that, smile as widely as you can. Got it? Now hold position for two seconds, relax your face, and repeat it. You'll feel ridiculous at first, but you'll eventually look great because of it.

Tongue Tricks
Make sure you have privacy when you do this exercise, because you don't want to look like a fool. Start by raising your chin and letting your head fall back as far as it can without injuring it. Now, stick out your tongue and try to touch your chin with it. Just don't pull a muscle!

The Big O
This one is about as easy as it gets. Sit in a chair and tilt your head back. Now make an "O" shape with your lips. Relax your face, then try it again and again.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.
Kissy Face
This exercise will work your jaw muscles and make you an expert at kissing. All you have to do is make a face like you're about to press your lips against someone else's, and hold that position for 3 seconds. Then you should relax your face and repeat until you're too tired to carry on.

Get out Your Gum
Believe it or not, all that gum chewing is actually good for you. So if you're out in public and aren't willing to exercise your facial muscles in front of a crowd, you can settle for popping a piece of gum into your mouth.
Even if you don't believe these exercises will do you any good, they aren't difficult to attempt, which means you might as well give them a shot. After all, nothing bad can come from it. Do you like the looks of your face, or do you wish you could change something about it?
