Protruding collarbones (claviculae) are part of the beauty ideal, and are therefore an important part of a beautiful body (for both men and women). Some people have collarbones that are naturally visible, while other people have to put in some effort to make them stand out more and make them look more beautiful and attractive.

Method 1 of 3: Through exercises

1. Start with a light exercise for your whole body. If you want to have collarbones that are visible, you need to exercise your entire body regularly to get rid of excess fat and tone your body. An overweight person may not have visible collarbones until he or she starts working on the whole body. In addition to training, it is important that you follow a balanced diet and drink enough. The most suitable exercises you can do are:
   • To walk
   • Running
   • Brisk walking
   • Swimming
   • Jumping rope
   • Bicycles
   • Cardio exercises (for the whole body)
   • Yoga
2. Do exercises that make you neck and chest muscles getting stronger. If you don't exercise regularly, do light and easy exercises so you don't get neck or collarbone injuries. Beginners can do the following exercises:
   • Keep your chest high. Sit on the floor cross-legged. Lift your shoulders until your collarbones stick out. Hold this position for 5 seconds and then relax. Repeat this 8-10 times.
   • Shoulder roll. Roll your shoulders back by making small circles with your shoulders without moving your arms. Repeat this 10-15 times. Now roll your shoulders forward in the same way and do the same 10-15 times.
   • Roll with your elbows. Put your hands on your shoulders. Roll your elbows making large circles keeping your back straight. Repeat this 10-15 times.
   • Push the muscles at your sternum forward so that your collarbones are visible. Hold this for 5 seconds; and relax. Repeat this 8-10 times.
3. Once you have mastered the beginner exercises, you can move on to heavier exercises that will help your collarbones stand out. Some of these exercises require weights. Start with 1 kg weights. After you have repeated the exercises for a week, you can move on to heavier weights.
   • Start with the exercises described above and repeat them 15-20 times so that your shoulder and chest muscles are warmed up.
   • Push-ups. A lighter version of the classic push-up involves lying on your stomach and holding your lower legs up, keeping your knees on the floor. Cross your lower legs and put your hands at your sides. Raise your chest until it is fully stretched and come down slowly. Repeat this 15-20 times.
   • Crunches. Lie on your back and keep your hands behind your head. Bend your knees and bring your head to your knees. Hold this and slowly lower your head back down. Repeat this 10-12 times. You can also do crunches lying on your side.
   • Chest presses. Lie on your back and hold the dumbbells so that they are horizontal on your chest. Put your hands along your chest so that your elbows are sticking out. Raise your arms and make sure your elbows are slightly bent. Hold this position for 2 seconds and lower your arms and put them in the starting position. Repeat this 12-15 times.
   • Dumbbell flys. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold your dumbbells in a vertical position and bend forward. Keeping your arms straight, spread the dumbbells apart from your body (almost to shoulder height), and slowly bring them back. Repeat this 12-15 times.
   • Butterflies. Stand as in the position described above, holding the dumbbells vertically in your hands. Keep your hands in front of your chest and keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the exercise. Move your elbows towards your back, tightening your back muscles until you feel yourself stretching your chest and shoulder blades. Return your elbows to the starting position. Repeat this 10-12 times.
   • You can also do other exercises such as pull-overs, chest lifts, triceps extension, dumbbell lifts etc., so that the fat around your neck and chest is reduced and your collarbones become more visible.

Method 2 of 3: Through yoga and massage

1. Do some simple yoga exercises making your collarbones more visible. It is best to do these after you have done the workout exercises so that you can rest your shoulder muscles.
   • Chest lift. Inhale deeply until your chest rises and your collarbones stick out. Hold this position for 5 seconds and slowly exhale, lowering your shoulders. Repeat this 5 times.
   • Forward bend. Keep your arms straight up and cross your fingers so your palms are facing up. Stretch out your arms and bend over slightly. Hold this position for 10 seconds and release.
   • Stretch for the chest. Also, keep your fingers crossed in this exercise and extend your arms, keeping your chest up. Hold this for a moment and slowly return to the basic position.
   • Stretch triceps. Keep your right arm up and bend it until your elbow is facing up. Put your right hand on your neck (or under it) and push your left hand on your right elbow. Hold and release slowly. Repeat this exercise for the other side.
2. Massage your collarbones regularly with a good massage oil. It is important to relax your collarbones, and massaging them not only relaxes them, but also makes them stand out.
   • Put some massage oil on your collarbones. Place your index fingers above your collarbones and your middle fingers below the collarbones. Rub your fingers gently over the collarbones, from the inside out, so that you can feel them become visible. Repeat this as needed.

Method 3 of 3: Buy makeup

1. Makeup is another easy way to make your collarbones stand out. The things you will need are:
   • A bronzer (a little darker than your skin tone)
   • A highlighter (without glitter or shine)
   • A powder brush
2. Shrug your shoulders until your collarbones are exposed and dimpled. Keep your shoulders up.
3. Take a powder brush and put quite a bit of bronzer on it. Spread this on the dimples on both sides and on the center of your collarbones. Apply in circular motions until you see it applied evenly on both sides.
4. Then lower your shoulders. Now use a small powder brush to apply some highlighter to your collarbones, being careful not to mix it with the bronzer.
5. Raise your shoulders and see if more bronzer or highlighter is needed. Make sure you don't put on too much or it will look unnatural.
6. Once you are satisfied with the result of the make-up, you are all done making your collarbones stand out! Finish the extra bronzer and highlighter well so that your end result is neat and beautiful.

Tips

• It may take time for your collarbones to become prominent; so be patient and keep working hard on it.
• Instead of using makeup often, try to make them stand out naturally.
• Be careful when performing the exercises so that you don't get injured.
