What Is The Best Makeup For You Face Shape?
Oval face
The oval faces are the ones which length is longer than their width. You are quite lucky, because you have a shape that many women dream of, and you do not need contouring, since your face is already contoured. All you need to do is accentuate your natural features. You will need some bronzer which you need to apply on 3 main spots – your cheekbones, forehead, and chin. You can wear any makeup, because you will always look great. If you are not sure about the shape of your brows, just leave its natural shape and do not change it completely.
Round face
The usual round face is the one whose length is almost equal to its width. A lot of people with round faces think that their cheeks are too big, but this is not so. It is just the shape of their face that creates this illusion. The one thing that they strive at when applying makeup is to make their face look longer and their cheeks – thinner. Actually you do not always need to make your face longer, because round faces are very youthful. So, to make your face longer, try with contouring.
You will need 2 kinds of foundation – lighter and darker. Apply the lighter foundation on these parts of your face like forehead, front area of the cheeks and on the chin. As for the darker foundation – apply it to the side part of the cheeks and along the jawline. Then all you have to do is to blend in the direction of your chin.
Heart face
The easiest way to describe this type of face is to compare it with a heart – sharper cheek and jawline, and a hairline which looks like of the number 3 lying down. You can contour your temples and cheeks with lighter foundation to make them appear smaller. What you have to do is to draw the attention towards the center of your face, for this part use darker foundation. You can also accentuate it with blush, but be careful with how you apply it. It should be in more horizontal direction than vertical. You can also accentuate your lips with dark red colour lipstick.
Square face
Women with square faces could have some difficulties when applying makeup, because they have to soften their features. Square faces are the ones, where the jaw is almost as wide as the length of the forehead and the chin is not sharp, but a bit more flat. The contouring technique will help you a lot. Apply lighter foundation on the angles of your face – where your jawline and your forehead end. Lighter colors will smooth the sharpness a little. Blend in the direction of your ears. You should also do not forget to apply blush on your cheekbones. A fresh reddish color will also do a good job in reducing the sharpness. Or if you want you can use a bronzer instead. When you apply it, move the brush towards the direction of the temples. This way you will create a nice symmetrical shape.
