Hair Building Fibers
the most basic and well known fraudmaxx for hair. you can get a way better hairline, way more density, especially if you rock short hair. you can use the spray version too if thats easier for you.
important rule that applies to EVERYTHING in this guide: always buy waterproof versions of any product you put on your face or hair. one rainy day or one sweaty gym session and you're exposed if you dont.

Hair Concealer Sprays
similar concept to fibers but this is a color spray rather than keratin fibers that latch onto your follicles. this is an alternative to the first option but honestly you could use both together for maximum effect.

Scalp Concealer Lotion
this is a lotion you apply directly to the scalp to create the illusion of thicker hair underneath. not much to explain here it just works.

Hairline Pencil
this is basically an eyebrow pencil but for your hairline. dead simple to use you just fill in the corners and edges of your hairline to make it look lower and fuller. really not much explanation needed.

Advanced Hair Systems
forget traditional wigs that are easy to spot and could lead to your social demise if someone notices. modern hair systems are completely different. they are longer lasting extremely hard to detect and made from actual real human hair. if you are seriously thinning this is a legit option that nobody will clock.
what happens when you dont secure your system properly
Androgenic got his wig snatched on stream 14 million views. dont let this be you. secure it properly or dont wear one at all.

Wigs
less desirable than hair systems but still a valid option. you can wear one on dates only if you want. there are also partial wigs designed for specific parts of your head like if you have a bald spot on the crown or thinning in one area. well known and decent pick if you need it.

Hair Tattoo (Scalp Micropigmentation)
this is a well known method but its limited because you will only ever be able to rock the buzzed/shaved look. this isnt a normal tattoo its specifically designed for bald people to give that fresh shaved stubble appearance. looks clean but you cant grow your hair out after.

Hair Transplant
the best possible thing you can do for thinning hair. yeah this is technically hardmaxx but idc its the most convenient and permanent method for hair loss. if you can afford it and you're losing hair this is the answer.

✦ FOREHEAD ✦
Makeup (Contouring)
i aint a pro at this so i recommend this video for the technique. the guide is valid and the tips are solid but i am not that much of a fan personally. just putting it out there so you know it exists as an option.

Browmaxxing
having thicker brows visually decreases your forehead length. simple enough. the bigger and bushier your brows look the shorter your forehead appears.

The Headband/Tape Trick
this is my own idea. what if you manually pull your scalp and hairline lower and keep it in place with a headband or bandana? you could also use some kind of skin safe tape on the crown that wont damage your hair then wear a hat or just cover the tape through your hair texture. this isnt a well known technique from what i know so i might post a separate guide on this in the future.

✦ EYE AREA ✦
Brows
you have so many tools for this
▸ brow building fibers
▸ eyebrow pencil
▸ eyebrow extensions
▸ eyebrow or beard dye on brows
▸ liquid brow pen
▸ brow gel
▸ proper grooming
you can also use slight shadow or contouring right under the brow bone to fake deep set hunter eyes. this alone can change your entire eye area.

Fixing Upper Eyelid Exposure
long thick lashes create an illusion that covers the exposed lid. squinting obviously works too.
you can also use a tiny amount of lash glue and glue the lid skin together with your upper eyelid wait until it dries. if you have severe exposure though it probably wont be enough.
another method is using a small amount of face tape hidden under your hair or makeup to pull down on the brows slightly. just make sure it doesnt give you negative canthal tilt or negative hooding. your hairstyle is very important here for covering the tape.

PFL, PFH, and Canthal Tilt
first thing you can do is squinting that alone changes your eye shape.
then theres makeup. you use it very slightly for things like concealer canthal tilt cuts and inner corner brightening.
this is crucial: do NOT overdo this like foids do. all the tutorials online are made for foids and they go extreme with it. you need to do it so subtly that nobody can tell. this only works well in countries where slight makeup on men isnt going to get you flamed.
eye training exercises are also something you have freedom to try if you want.
PFL and PFH measurement diagram
PFL = horizontal width of eye opening. PFH = vertical height. the ratio between these two is what matters.
canthal tilt comparison
positive tilt = hunter eyes. negative tilt = prey eyes.

Lashes
▸ use eyebrow or beard dye on your lashes to darken them
▸ eyelash curler
▸ brow gel on lashes
▸ trim the inner corner lashes slightly for the illusion of a higher canthal tilt
▸ brow pencil on the roots of your lashes to make them look thicker at the base
▸ subtle mascara

Under Eye
▸ concealer for dark circles
▸ aegyo sal makeup for that under eye fullness look
▸ tinted sunscreen to even out the skin tone
these three alone can take your under eye area from tired and hollow to fresh and full.

✦ NOSE ✦
Facial Expressions
pursing your lips will make your nose look smaller from the front. slightly smiling to make your lips wider also makes your nose look smaller by comparison. free fraud that costs nothing. but your side gets hurt

Nostril Lifters
extremely underrated. these are small plastic splints you put inside the nostrils and they push the nose tip up giving you a more upturned look. helps extremely for people with a droopy hooked or crooked nose. nobody talks about these but they actually work.

Prosthetics
this is a lil too much for most people but if you really want to go there you can. its probably expensive and requires skill to apply but the option exists.

Brows
the closer your brows are together the narrower your nose looks. simple trick that most people dont think about.

Glasses
if you choose the right frames they can decrease the perceived size of your nose significantly. i wont sit here and tell you this frame for this face shape and that frame for that face shape because its way more complex than that. just try on different glasses and use filters or photos to find what actually helps YOUR specific nose and face.

Facial Hair
▸ full beard with no mustache draws the eye down to the jaw making the nose completely irrelevant
▸ thick mustache visually shortens the nose by covering the philtrum gap making the nose appear shorter
▸ goatee creates a vertical line down the center of the face that balances a wide nose
▸ wide sideburns add horizontal width to the face making a wide nose look proportionally smaller
▸ handlebar mustache adds horizontal width below the nose which balances a long narrow nose

Hair Volume
more hair volume in the back of the head creates the illusion of a smaller nose from the side profile. you may have noticed people with small skulls from the side have noses that look way bigger same thing with people who have a recessed jaw. adding volume to the back of your head works the exact same way in reverse.

nose contouring is the easiest thing you can find tutorials for on the internet. dark lines down the sides to slim it bright highlight down the bridge to make it pop. not gonna waste another hour explaining this when theres a thousand videos on it.

Lip Plumpers & Tools
lip plumpers are cosmetic products designed to give the appearance of fuller more voluminous lips. some solid examples
▸ Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme
▸ Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream
▸ DIOR Addict Lip Maximizer
▸ NYX Filler Instinct Plumping Lip Color
▸ Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath
▸ Milani Keep It Full Nourishing Lip Plumper
DIY methods that actually work:
Ice Cube Method
press an ice cube firmly against your lips for 1 to 2 minutes then remove it. the cold constricts your blood vessels. when you take the ice away the blood rushes BACK into the lips causing them to flush pink/red and temporarily swell. stack with a plumping balm right after for max effect.
Hot/Cold Contrast
alternate between pressing a warm washcloth for 15 seconds and an ice cube for 15 seconds against your lips for 5 cycles. the repeated expanding and contracting of the blood vessels pumps blood in and out aggressively causing maximum temporary swelling and redness.
Suction Device Method
most of us remember the iShowSpeed Kylie Jenner lip challenge clip. thats the extreme version of what these tools do but the actual plumper devices give you a way more controlled subtle result. use the suction device for 30 seconds then remove it. immediately apply a hyaluronic acid plumping balm. the HA locks moisture into the already swollen tissue extending the plumping effect by 1 to 2 extra hours.

Color & Health
men usually have darker lips than their face which makes them look unhealthy and dry. use vaseline or lip balm daily you can find ones made specifically for men. tinting is also an option. you can use color correcting makeup to fix the contrast. you can also change the contrast by changing your overall skin tone with tinted products.

Contouring & Overlining
you already know by now how much of a big help contouring is for frauding and it works here too. you can fake change the entire shape of your lips. since this is such a common technique it wont be hard to find tutorials for your specific situation. same with all these methods as long as you dont overdo it its practically impossible to detect.

Full Lip Makeup Guide
A. Making Thin Lips Look Fuller
▸ exfoliate lips with a sugar scrub to increase blood flow and smooth the surface
▸ apply a plumping balm hyaluronic acid based
▸ overline 1mm outside your natural border with a matching lip liner
▸ apply a slightly lighter/brighter tinted balm to the center only
▸ dab a micro dot of matte highlighter to the center of the lower lip
the "lip flip" illusion: apply a tiny amount of highlighter or light concealer to the skin directly ABOVE the upper lip border between the cupids bow peaks. this catches light and makes the upper lip appear to flip outward looking fuller without any product on the lip itself.
B. Making Large/Thick Lips Look Thinner
▸ apply concealer that matches your skin onto the outer edges of the lip covering the vermillion border
▸ blend the concealer INTO the lip edge effectively shrinking the visible lip area
▸ apply a matte neutral lip balm. avoid gloss because gloss makes lips look larger
▸ avoid any highlight on the center of the lip
C. Making Lips Look Wider
▸ overline ONLY at the corners of the mouth extending the lip line horizontally by 1mm
▸ apply darker color at the corners and lighter color at the center
▸ make sure the corner extension follows the natural angle of your mouth dont extend straight out
D. Making Lips Look Narrower
▸ apply concealer at the outer corners of the lips to erase the endpoints
▸ apply all color only to the center 2/3 of the lip
▸ leave the outer corners bare/concealed
▸ your brain reads the colored area as the full lip width
E. Fixing Downturned Mouth Corners
downturned corners give you that resting sad face and make you look unhappy or aged
▸ apply concealer to the shadow that forms in the crease at each corner of the mouth
▸ using a lip liner extend the corners of the mouth slightly upward about 1mm at a natural angle
▸ the lifted corners plus the erased shadow create the illusion of a neutral or slightly upturned mouth
F. Shorter Philtrum Illusion
a long philtrum (the space between nose and upper lip) makes the face look longer and aged. to fake a shorter one
▸ apply a thin line of concealer or highlighter right at the base of the nose where it meets the philtrum. this optically pushes the nose base down
▸ overline the upper lip by 1mm focusing on the cupids bow peaks
▸ apply a tiny highlight dot to each cupids bow peak
▸ the combination shortens the perceived distance between nose and lip by 2 to 3mm
G. Cupids Bow Definition (More Masculine)
a defined cupids bow is associated with youth and facial structure
▸ using a lip liner matching your lip color carefully trace the two peaks of the cupids bow with a sharp precise line
▸ make the peaks slightly sharper and more angular than your natural shape
▸ apply a micro dot of matte highlight between the two peaks in the dip of the bow
▸ the shadow plus highlight creates a razor sharp cupids bow that reads as genetic bone structure

Facial Hair
facial hair is the single most powerful tool men have for lip manipulation
▸ stubble around the mouth creates a dark frame around the lips making them appear lighter more defined and more prominent by contrast
▸ clean shaven upper lip with stubble below maximizes the visibility of the upper lip. the stubble on the chin creates contrast below the lower lip making both lips pop
▸ thin mustache line precisely trimmed right above the lip border defines the upper lip edge like a natural lip liner. acts as a permanent frame
▸ full beard with clean lip area keeping the beard thick on the chin and jaw but cleanly shaved within 2 to 3mm of the lip border creates a dramatic cutout effect that makes the lips look incredibly defined and sculpted
▸ goatee or soul patch vertical facial hair below the lower lip draws the eye downward and makes the lower lip appear more projected and full

Facial Hair
grow hair on your weak points. if you have a weak chin grow a goatee. if your whole jaw is weak grow a full beard and shape it to look boxy and angular. dont recommend a beard on people who already have a good jaw area though because it just hides your best feature.
use your brow pencil or hairline pencil beard dye or hair fibers on your beard to fill in patches. most of the hairmaxxing methods work for beard too.

Full Jaw Contouring Guide
jaw contour placement map
dark = contour (shadow). light = highlight. this is where you put each product for a sharp jaw
A. Round/Soft Jaw → Angular
this is the number 1 male contouring goal. a round jaw has no visible corners and blends into the neck
▸ contour heavily under the jaw from ear to chin to create the missing edge
▸ contour into the hollows of the cheeks suck your cheeks in and contour where the hollow appears
▸ highlight the gonial angle thats the corner point below the ear where the jaw turns
▸ highlight along the top edge of the jaw from corner to chin
▸ deep shadow below plus bright highlight on top creates the illusion of a razor sharp right angle where theres actually a soft curve
B. Narrow/Weak Jaw → Wider
▸ highlight the gonial angle AGGRESSIVELY. apply a bright highlight to the corner of the jaw below each ear. this pushes the corner outward in 3D space making the jaw appear wider
▸ apply contour ONLY under the chin not under the sides of the jaw. this creates a shadow under the chin that makes it recede while the highlighted jaw corners project outward
▸ avoid any contour on the actual sides of the jaw or it will look even narrower
C. Wide/Boxy Jaw → Slimmer
▸ apply contour to the outer edges of the gonial angle. darkening the corners makes them recede
▸ highlight the CENTER of the chin only. this draws the eye to the middle and away from the width
▸ contour under the entire jawline from ear to ear to create a clean edge but keep the darkest shadow at the outer corners
D. Recessed/Weak Chin → Projected
▸ apply highlight to the very tip/front of the chin. light brings it forward
▸ apply contour to the sides of the chin. this narrows it making it look more pointed and projected
▸ apply a subtle contour shadow in the mentolabial fold the crease between lower lip and chin. this creates depth that makes the chin look like it projects more
▸ highlight a vertical line from the lower lip down to the tip of the chin. this light catching effect simulates forward projection
E. Double Chin / Submental Fat
▸ apply a dark contour shade to the ENTIRE area under the chin and along the upper neck. this shadow makes the fatty area recede into darkness
▸ highlight the jawline edge itself to create a crisp separation between jaw and neck
▸ apply the contour in layers cream first then powder on top for maximum opacity
▸ blend the neck contour down gradually so theres no harsh line where the darkness stops
F. Asymmetrical Jaw → Even
most faces are asymmetrical. one side of the jaw is often slightly larger or more angular than the other
▸ identify the weaker side
▸ apply MORE highlight to the weaker sides gonial angle and jaw edge to project it forward
▸ apply MORE contour under the stronger side to slightly recess it
▸ the goal is equalization. bring the weak side up and the strong side slightly down until they match
G. Razor Sharp Mandibular Line
▸ using a very thin precise brush draw a razor thin contour line directly UNDER the jawbone from ear to chin
▸ do NOT blend this line upward. only blend downward
▸ above this line apply a thin highlight line ON the jawbone
▸ the two parallel lines dark below and light above create a razor sharp edge that reads as pure bone definition
H. Fake Cleft Chin
▸ use a thin brush with contour shade. draw a tiny vertical line in the exact center of the chin
▸ apply highlight on either side of the line
▸ the dark center plus light sides creates the illusion of a central dimple/cleft
▸ keep it extremely subtle. 1mm wide maximum. too wide and it looks like dirt on your face

B. Narrow/Weak Jaw → Wider
▸ highlight the gonial angle AGGRESSIVELY. apply a bright highlight to the corner of the jaw below each ear. this pushes the corner outward in 3D space making the jaw appear wider
▸ apply contour ONLY under the chin not under the sides of the jaw. this creates a shadow under the chin that makes it recede while the highlighted jaw corners project outward
▸ avoid any contour on the actual sides of the jaw or it will look even narrower
C. Wide/Boxy Jaw → Slimmer
▸ apply contour to the outer edges of the gonial angle. darkening the corners makes them recede
▸ highlight the CENTER of the chin only. this draws the eye to the middle and away from the width
▸ contour under the entire jawline from ear to ear to create a clean edge but keep the darkest shadow at the outer corners
D. Recessed/Weak Chin → Projected
▸ apply highlight to the very tip/front of the chin. light brings it forward
▸ apply contour to the sides of the chin. this narrows it making it look more pointed and projected
▸ apply a subtle contour shadow in the mentolabial fold the crease between lower lip and chin. this creates depth that makes the chin look like it projects more
▸ highlight a vertical line from the lower lip down to the tip of the chin. this light catching effect simulates forward projection
E. Double Chin / Submental Fat
▸ apply a dark contour shade to the ENTIRE area under the chin and along the upper neck. this shadow makes the fatty area recede into darkness
▸ highlight the jawline edge itself to create a crisp separation between jaw and neck
▸ apply the contour in layers cream first then powder on top for maximum opacity
▸ blend the neck contour down gradually so theres no harsh line where the darkness stops
F. Asymmetrical Jaw → Even
most faces are asymmetrical. one side of the jaw is often slightly larger or more angular than the other
▸ identify the weaker side
▸ apply MORE highlight to the weaker sides gonial angle and jaw edge to project it forward
▸ apply MORE contour under the stronger side to slightly recess it
▸ the goal is equalization. bring the weak side up and the strong side slightly down until they match
G. Razor Sharp Mandibular Line
▸ using a very thin precise brush draw a razor thin contour line directly UNDER the jawbone from ear to chin
▸ do NOT blend this line upward. only blend downward
▸ above this line apply a thin highlight line ON the jawbone
▸ the two parallel lines dark below and light above create a razor sharp edge that reads as pure bone definition
H. Fake Cleft Chin
▸ use a thin brush with contour shade. draw a tiny vertical line in the exact center of the chin
▸ apply highlight on either side of the line
▸ the dark center plus light sides creates the illusion of a central dimple/cleft
▸ keep it extremely subtle. 1mm wide maximum. too wide and it looks like dirt on your face

✦ CHEEKBONES ✦
Full Cheekbone Contouring Guide
the goal male model cheekbone structure
this is what you're trying to fake with the triple layer contour method
cheekbone contour placement
dark in the hollow highlight on the bone the sandwich effect
A. Round/Chubby Cheeks → Angular Hollows
round cheeks lack visible bone structure. the goal is to create the illusion of buccal hollows
▸ suck your cheeks in and apply contour deep in the hollow using the darkest shade you can blend away
▸ extend the contour further toward the ear than toward the mouth. the shadow should live primarily in the back half of the cheek
▸ highlight the cheekbone aggressively
▸ apply a SECOND contour zone along the lower cheek just above the jawline to narrow the face from below
▸ the sandwich effect: dark above the jaw plus dark below the cheekbone equals the mid cheek appearing to cave inward between two shadow zones
B. Flat Cheeks → Projected Cheekbones
▸ use a highlight that is 2 shades lighter than your skin for more contrast than usual
▸ apply it in a wider band across the cheekbone not just a thin line
▸ apply contour BELOW the highlight and ABOVE the highlight along the lower orbital bone
▸ the surrounded by shadow effect makes the highlighted bone appear to physically push forward off the face
▸ apply a micro dot of matte highlight to the very highest point of the cheekbone for maximum 3D projection
C. Wide Cheeks → Narrower Face
▸ apply contour to the OUTER portion of the cheeks from the jaw corner up past the cheekbone toward the temple
▸ this darkens the outer face making it appear narrower
▸ highlight ONLY the very top of the cheekbone close to the nose
▸ the bright center plus dark sides create the illusion of a narrower more sculpted face
D. Long/Narrow Cheeks → Wider Cheekbones
▸ apply highlight HORIZONTALLY across the cheekbone extending it further toward the ear than usual
▸ the bright horizontal line widens the perceived cheekbone length
▸ apply contour only in the lower portion of the hollow close to the jaw NOT high up near the cheekbone
▸ the low shadow plus wide highlight creates width and balance
E. Asymmetrical Cheeks → Even
most faces are asymmetrical. one cheekbone may be more prominent or one cheek fuller than the other
▸ identify the flatter or fuller side
▸ apply MORE highlight to the flatter cheekbone to project it forward
▸ apply MORE contour to the fuller cheek to hollow it out
▸ apply LESS product on the side that already looks good
▸ the goal is equalization. bring the weak side up and bring the strong side slightly back
F. The Male Model Cheek (Extreme Method)
the male model cheek features extremely high sharp cheekbones with deep buccal hollows
▸ triple layer contour in the hollow: cream contour then powder contour then secondary powder contour. build the shadow deeper than you think is necessary
▸ sharp edge highlight on the bone: use a flat brush not a fluffy one. apply highlight in a crisp straight line across the cheekbone. do NOT over blend keep the edge relatively sharp
▸ temple shadow: apply contour to the temples the sides of the forehead near the hairline. sunken temples plus prominent cheekbones equals the classic male model skull structure
▸ under eye support highlight: apply a thin line of highlight on the orbital rim the bone directly under the eye. this makes the cheekbone appear to start higher and connects the cheek structure to the eye area
▸ foundation veil over everything to tie it all together

Face Tape
wear face lift tape while sleeping with the tape pulling your cheeks upward. the 6 to 8 hours of sustained tension causes temporary tissue compression. when you remove the tape in the morning your cheeks sit slightly tighter against the bone for several hours. apply contour over the pre compressed face for maximum effect.
