How to correct your face shape. Applying make up properly will help to achieve a professional and smooth look and give you more confidence. Whatever shape your face , skilful shading and highlighting can help to enhance your good points and minimize the less-desirable ones. Using a lighter shade of foundation than your overall base, highlighting, makes features more prominent, while shading uses a darker tone to make features recede into the background. You should highlight good points, such as high cheekbones, but shadow plump cheeks or a heavy jawline.
In this article we have identified four main face shapes and will indicate the best technique to apply the foundation according to the shape:
Long Face Shape
To reduce the length of a long face, use a darker shade of foundation to shade around the top of the forehead, blending it into the hairline. Shade along the jawline, too, and under the cheekbones. Dot a lighter shade just above the cheekbones to highlight, then apply the base foundation, blending well. Reapply the lighter and darker shades if necessary. Brush blusher along the cheekbones but not too far down the face.
Square Face Shape
Soften a square shape by using a darker foundation to shade an almost triangular shape on either side of the jaw. Shade the sides of the forehead, too, to help reduce the width of the top part of the face. Dot a lighter shade above the cheekbones to highlight, then apply the base foundation, blending well. Reapply the lighter and darker shades if necessary. Brush blusher along the cheekbones.
Round Shape
To reduce the width of a round face, use a darker foundation underneath the cheekbones to give the face more angles. Blend up into the hairline. Dot a lighter shade above the cheekbones to highlight and on the tip of the chin to counteract the moon shape. Apply the base foundation and blend well. Reapply the lighter and darker shades if necessary. Brush blusher along the cheekbones.
Heart Shape
To even up a heart-shaped face, use a darker shade of foundation on the sides of the forehead to help reduce the width of the face, and also on the tip of the chin to make it look less pointed. Dot a lighter shade just above the cheekbones to highlight, then apply the base foundation, blending well . Reapply the lighter and darker shades if necessary. Brush blusher along the cheekbones blending it up on to the temples.
