I'm 19 and in college. I'm 6'5 and 180 so lanky as fuck, currently in the middle of a bulk from 160-200. I'll probably be closer to 190 by August but I was thinking of cutting down and doing a debloat for a week or two just for those first couple weeks of school for max appeal during all the parties. I have pretty wide clavicles and I'd estimate I'm around 18-20% bf on this bulk. How long/how hard should I cut just for the temporary face gains before I keep bulking again? I'm pretty textbook mtn but when my face is lean I look a lot better which is obviously not right now. If anyone has tips on minicutting or debloating that would be very appreciated.
 
Is there any particular reason you are bulking to north of 15% bodyfat? Like do you chase numbers on squat/bench?

I've just been dirty bulking honestly, I probably started around 15% in March while also abusing alcohol and drugs 2x a week. Once I'm big enough and start cutting I'm switching from beer to TSLs and cutting weed out completely.

so you are aware that you are just adding bodyfat for no reason? You aren't adding any more muscle mass by adding more bodyfat. Could've stayed at 15% bodyfat and gain as much muscle mass.
Why cut from 25% bodyfat at the end of the bulk, if you might as well cut from 15-18% bodyfat

Yeah that's the issue, the ship has kind of sailed. Now that I'm eating cleaner I'm not putting on more fat (I am also pretty genetically lean which helps) but I just want to lose face fat mainly

can't spot reduce fat. Just get to 12% bodyfat, you will lose face fat too
