Softening Facial Features - My Face Looks Harsh and Long

J
judybeeMar 31, 2009

I am happy with my appearance except for that my face looks somewhat harsh and long. The angle to my jaw is sharp which I think makes my chin look extra prominent. Although on the other hand, I think my chin good balances well with my nose. I would like my face to appear softer and more rounded. Having a long straight hair and wearing it up is not flattering. What do you think I can do?
