besides makeup, you mean? remember, you're not looking at faces through an accurate depth camera, you're inferring facial geometry through color vision. mascara draws attention to the eyes, away from the chin. eye shadow provides the illusion of depth, which, combined with subtle application of blush or contouring foundation, totally changes the shape you see. you're really only inferring an oval from a small handful of points. you can control those points by accenting and concealing. not to mention hairstyles! bangs! glasses! rhinoplasty! but it's a time and money sink, and we're increasingly okay with our faces as they are.
