A University of Toronto study found correlations between facial measurements and attractiveness; researchers varied the distance between eyes, and between eyes and mouth, in different drawings of the same female face, and had the drawings evaluated; they found there were ideal proportions perceived as attractive (see photo).[119]
Facial symmetry has been shown to be considered attractive in women,[121][122] and men have been found to prefer full lips,[123] high forehead, broad face, small chin, small nose, short and narrow jaw, high cheekbones,[58][124] clear and smooth skin, and wide-set eyes.[115]
The shape of the face in terms of "how everything hangs together" is an important determinant of beauty.[125]
In a cross-cultural study, more neotenized (i.e., youthful looking) female faces were found to be most attractive to men while less neotenized female faces were found to be less attractive to men, regardless of the females' actual age.[131] One of these desired traits was a small jaw.[132] In a study of Italian women who have won beauty competitions, it was found that their faces had more "babyish" (pedomorphic) traits than those of the "normal" women used as a reference.[133]
Michael R. Cunningham of the Department of Psychology at the University of Louisville found, using a panel of East Asian, Hispanic and White judges, that the Asian, Hispanic and White female faces found most attractive were those that had "neonate large eyes, greater distance between eyes, and small noses"[135] and his study led him to conclude that "large eyes" were the most "effective" of the "neonate cues".[135] Cunningham also said that "shiny" hair may be indicative of "neonate vitality".[135]
TL:DR;
Big, wide-set eyes
thin, small nose
full lips
short and narrow jaw
high cheekbones
smooth, clear skin
glossy hair

obviously the best way to do this is to Kylie-Maxx and get fillers.
there are different types of fillers you can get:
Juvederm
Restylane (the closest to hyaluronic acid found in the body)
fat transfer
Artecoll (can smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but leaves a lot of bumps)
you could also try overlining your lips and using plumpers if you're broke.

you can get jaw surgery to make your lower third smaller.
if you don't know what an angel skull is, watch this video.
you can get a jaw/chin reduction to make the lower third of your face smaller
you could also do this while moving your chin forward, giving you the forward projection of the angel skull
getting lip injections will also make the space look smaller by comparison
if you don't want surgery, you could always contour your chin or try to draw attention away from it by focusing your makeup on your eyes, not your lips.
you can also get certain hair cuts/styles to suit the shape of your profile
adding volume to your head by teasing can make it look bigger and increase the cranio-facial ratio, making your head look more like an angel skull
