How to create fake dimples without going under the knife

The appeal of dimples cannot be denied, watching as those cute little pockets on each side of the cheeks appear is deeply charming. It is also cute and youthful, like a living doll( not the creepy kind). Some people have one, some have two and others fake it with makeup. 

This subtle indentation in the cheeks or chin has been gaining popularity worldwide for years — so much so that the number of surgical procedures to create fake dimples has increased. However, there’s no need to go under the knife to get the look, as a simple makeup trick is seemingly enough… As you might have guessed, TikTokers are already crazy about it.

The fakedimple hashtag has generated more than 10 million views on TikTok, not counting its derivatives, this hashtag created a host of makeup tips to achieve fake dimples without resorting to cosmetic surgery, nor to potentially dangerous tricks spotted on the same social network.

Professional make-up artists teach you how to create false dimples using two basic products such as a brush, and a beauty blender which is a sponge used to blend everything together. 

Here is how to create the famous false dimples:

  • Take a contouring pencil or stick and a concealer two beauty essentials which you will need for this process.
  • Draw a first line — or a semicircle, according to some users — with the pencil or stick, which you then surround with two stripes of concealer, where the dimples would naturally form. Then, all that’s left to do is blend it all in with a brush or sponge, and you’re done.
  • This trick is based on the same shadow and light effects used to structure the face when contouring. The hack varies very little from one user to another, except in the shape of the lines drawn on the face, or in the products chosen.
  • Some opt for eyeshadow or even a liquid contouring product. Either way, it’s an affordable beauty trick that’s accessible to all, safe and easily erased. 

It saves you the hassle of an expensive surgical procedure, as it is simple, easy and temporally if they are longer of use to you, so what not to like?
