Have you ever noticed someone looking ravishing with make
-up style but the same look failed on you? This may be due to a different face
shape. Faces have different shapes and require different styles.
Here is what
will suit your face shape:
1. Round
Round faces are usually as wide as they are long. Often
people try to make their face look longer, but round faces are considered to be
more youthful and feminine. The trick for round faces is contouring.
You need 2 different but similar shades of foundation, apply
the lighter shade to your forehead and front area of chin and cheeks, use the
darker shade by applying it to your cheeks and sides of your face and jawline.
Once you are done blend it all towards your hairline and down your neck.
By using a darker shade on your neck you can minimize the
appearance of double chin.
2. Oval
In oval faces the forehead appears wider than the lower face
and the face is 3/4 wide as it is long. Women with other face shapes often try
contouring to achieve this look. You don’t need much contouring as your face is
already contoured.
You need a bronzer, apply it in a shape of a 3, from
forehead to cheekbones and to chin to accentuate your features. People with
this face shape can easily pu ll off the latest trends.
Arched eyebrows can make you look more oval so avoid that.
Opt for natural brow shape and tweeze the rest away.
Accentuate your lips or on eyes and leave the other simple
and more natural.
3. Heart
For the prominent cheekbones of this shape you can wear
brighter blush and lipstick with neutral eye colors to accentuate them.
Contour temples and cheeks to minimize the width of your
upper face. Try highlighting your forehead, the area under the eyes, and your
chin to draw attention to the center of your face.
Heart-shaped faces look great with red shades of lipstick
and light blush, also try black or dark brown eye liner on your eyes.
4. Diamond
People with diamond shaped faces should use makeup to
brighten the center of their face , you can use liquid foundation or highlighting
powder. Apply it as you would for a heart shape, from forehead to the bridge of
your nose, to the center of your chin. Use slightly darker foundation and
contour the front of your forehead, tip of the chin, and jawline for a more
proportionate look.
5. Square
Square shaped faces have strong features and it’s tricky to
use makeup. Focus on lightening your features. Contour your jawbone blending
towards the ear to reduce the sharpness of the jaw line. Use blush in a
circular motion on your cheeks, moving the brush towards temples to create a
symmetrical shape.
Use darker shades of foundation, powder, blush, or bronzer
on your jawline, temples, and sides of your forehead.
