In our independent life, we don’t feel comfortable following any rules. But we love to follow expert tips that enhance our features and ensure flawless makeup. Couldn’t get the makeup of your favourite actress despite multiple attempts? Maybe you didn’t know your face shape and features.
Just a humble request – please see your face in the mirror and tell us, do you have a heart-shaped or an oval, round, or square face shape? People often don’t know their faces and apply makeup that goes on to harm them. Consider knowing your face shape before starting makeup. This will help you with a flawless, glittery and glowy look.
Determine Your Face Shape
Many people don’t know about their face shape and makeup techniques. They can use these makeup tips.
Firstly Tie Your Hair Back, in a Ponytail
Nicely comb your hair and tie them in a tight ponytail. If you have bangs, clip them back using a hair clip.
Examine Your Face Shape
-
- Look at the mirror and start examining your face shape
- Firstly, pay attention to the length and width of your face
- The round-shape face has an equal distance between chin and forehead as it has between cheek to cheek
- Whereas the oval-shaped face has a large forehead compared to the chin as it is from cheek to cheek.
- The heart-shaped face has a narrow chin and more width temple to temple
- The square-shape face has the same width from temple to temple as it is from jawline to jawline
Once you understand face shape, consider some makeup techniques and you are all set to rock.
Apply Makeup to a Round Face
Contour Your Face Alongside Your Temple and Forehead
-
- Apply cream or matte powder that is in a darker shade compared to your skin tone and foundation
- Apply foundation to the area of your face you want to reshape or define, like the forehead, chin, nose and cheek. Also, you can use contour with a darker colour to your cheekbone to give a slim structure to the face, if you have more round cheeks.
Highlights the Middle of Your Chin and Forehead
-
- Use a concealer two to three shades lighter to your skin tone
- Start doing this from the centre of your forehead toward the hairline and apply to the bridge of your nose, and your cheekbone
- Use concealer under your eyes in an upside-down triangle shape to brighten them.
Apply Blush to Your Cheeks
-
- By using angular motion, you can blend blush accurately in the apple of your cheeks. This will make a triangle that points toward your nose.
- Avoid blushing too close to your ears
Apply Darker Shade Eyeshadow
Use a darker eyeshadow on your eyelids, then contour with bronzer; this will help give a more definite shape to your eye.
Apply Lip Liner
Apply a lip balm to make a smooth surface for lipstick use. By doing this, your face appears angular compared to a rounded face.
Apply Makeup to Square Face
Contour Side of Your Forehead, Below Your Cheekbone and Under Your Jawline
-
- This will give a more round shape to your face and minimise angular features
- Apply a matte or cream powder two to three shades darker than your skin tone
- If you want to reshape or define any particular area like the nose, forehead and cheekbones, use foundation over it
Highlights Forehead and Chin
-
- Apply a contour two to three shades darker than your skin tone and foundation
- Use a brush and contour the centre of your forehead, above and below the eyebrows and on your chin
- Blend highlighter evenly with the contour in an upward direction
- Use highlighter in the middle of your chin and forehead
- Also, highlight your eyebrows to define your eyes
Apply Blush on the Hollow of Your Cheeks
-
- Apply blush in a linear motion to the hollow of your cheeks and move toward the outer corner of your eyes. Also, start blushing a few inches from the side of your nose.
- Also, avoid too much blush, and, if you want to emphasise the lower cheekbone, apply blush over it.
Apply Eyeshadow
-
- Apply a unique colour to enhance your features, especially eyes, like periwinkle, scarlet or lavender
- Use one to two coats of mascara
Use a Wide but light border of lip liner on the edge of your lips
Apply lip liner on your lips and perfectly smudge it, for a softer and less square appearance
Apply Makeup to a Heart-shaped Face
Contour the Sides of Your Temples and Forehead
-
- Contour the small area below your chin to make it soften. Contouring helps minimise the wider part of your forehead and temples and maximise the chin.
- This will create a balance between the wider upper part and the narrow lower part
- Start contouring beneath your cheekbone and end in the middle of your cheeks
- Use a matte or cream powder two to three shades lighter to your skin tone and foundation
Highlights Your Eyes and Foreheads
-
- Focus on the areas that naturally catch the light, like the eyes and forehead
- Brighten your eyes by using a highlighter and making a triangle under it
- Highlight in the middle of your forehead
- Also, apply highlighter in the middle of your cheeks to broaden them
Apply Blush in a “C” Shape Motion
-
- Make sure to apply blush in ‘C’ shape motion under your cheeks
- Start blushing from your temples down to the cheekbones. It helps them appear fuller
Apply Soft Colour Eye Shadow
Use some light colours on your eyelids like light pink, mint green and sky blue. Finish it by using one to two coats of mascara.
Apply Lip Liner
Apply darker colour on the lower lip and a lighter shade on the upper lip to even out the top and bottom parts of your face.
Apply Makeup to Oval Face
Apply Contour on Your Forehead and Below your Cheekbones
-
- Contouring will minimise your forehead and emphasise the centre of your face
- Slightly contour the side of your forehead near the hairline to make it appear narrow
- Start contouring from your ear and end in the middle of your cheeks
Apply Highlighter in the Middle of Your Cheeks and Forehead
-
- Apply highlighter in ‘C’ shape motion from the centre of your forehead down the bridge of your nose
- Also, highlight your eyes and brows to brighten up the area around it
Apply Blush on the Apple of Your Cheeks
-
- Apply blush to your cheeks and blend it in the upward direction
- Don’t apply it other than the cheekbone, like on your jawline and nose. It will appear heavy.
Apply Mascara and Light Colour Eyeshadow
-
- Apply lighter colour eyeshadow like taupe with a bronzer to give more definition to your eyes
- Apply mascara to enhance your eyelashes
Apply Pink Colour Lipstick
Applying pink lipstick will enhance your curvature and minimise the oval shape of your face.
