Makeup Tips based on your Face Shape!

Each and every one of us is different, we have our own unique features. But even though there's no human shape identical to another, we can categorize the different shapes in just a few basic classes.

Today we're gonna talk about four of the most common face shapes and how you can bring out the best in them with some easy makeup tricks.


Round

If your face is wider on the cheek level and your forehead is almost as wide as your jaw line, than you have a round shaped face.
For this type of shape you will need to create an illusion of edges, that will bring depth and balance to your features.
First of all you should avoid circular moves, while applying your makeup. Straight horizontal or vertical lines are the best way to go.
By contouring under your cheekbones in a triangular shape, with its base on the level of your ears and it's tip under the outer corner of your eyes, you will create a shadow, that will thin your face. Also contour under the jawline and slightly on the sides of your forehead.
 With your highlighter accentuate your cheekbones, the middle of your forehead and your chin.
The best eyebrow shape for a rounded face shape is an arched brow, that is not too thin or thick.
When doing your eye makeup, bring the shadow and eyeliner from the inside out, slightly longer, than where your eyes end, to elongate them and thin your face.

Interesting Fact: A round shaped face keeps it's youthfulness longer than any other!

Square

If your face has almost the same width from your forehead to your jawline and your cheekbones are drawn out, then you have a square face shape.
The key for this type of shape is to soften the angles and corners, to balance out your features.
To achieve that use circular moves while applying your makeup.
With your contour go over the sides of your forehead almost all the way down to your jawline, to elongate and thin the face. To enhance the effect of your contour, highlight the middle of your forehead, the line of your nose and your chin.
Apply your blush slightly under your cheekbones. It should be more intense on the outer side and washed off as you go in.
The best eyebrow shape for a squared face, is a full and slightly angled and arched brow.
Full lips in a vivid shade will bring great balance to your face shape.

Heart

If you have a wide forehead but narrow or pointed chin, than you have a heart shaped face.

For this type of shape you will need to create shadows and highlight, in a way that will give the illusion of a thinner forehead and wider jawline.

Contour the sides of your forehead and the under the edge of your chin.

Then slightly highlight the middle of your forehead and your nose line. You can also highlight under your lower lip line.

Avoid a lot of blush on your cheekbones, because they're already accentuated.

Natural eyebrows are great for a heart shaped face. Follow your brow shape and just pluck any excess hair.

Bring attention to your lips by using a lip gloss with a lot of shine.

Oval

If your face is slightly wider at the top than the bottom and you have a slightly rounded jawline, than your face is oval shaped.

On this type of face shape the cheekbones are not accentuated, so you'll need to contour and highlight accordingly to bring them out.

With your contour create a shadow under your cheekbones and the sides of your nose. Then use your highlighter to lighten up the center of your forehead and your nose line.

Use a vivid colored and slick blush on your cheekbones to tone them even further.

The best eyebrow shape for oval faces is a natural and slightly arched brow. Just follow your eyebrow shape, correct the arch and clear any excess hair.
You can either draw attention to your eyes with a dark smokey look, or a cat eye, or to your lips by using a bold color and some lip gloss.

Interesting Fact: Oval shaped faces are considered the most balanced and beautiful!
