Makeup Tips For Your Face Shape

Oval Face


This is the ideal face shape because you can really try anything. The best way to take advantage of your oval shape is to bring out your best feature. Whether it is your eyes, lips, eyebrows ect. You really have nothing to worry about but you can try some of the tips below. 

Round Face


A round face has a shorter distance from the forehead to the chin, and wider from cheek to cheek. A round face has full cheeks and rounded chin. What you need to do is add a lengthening effect to your face by contouring the jaw line, temples and cheek for a more oval look. Remember that to contour you will use a color slightly darker than your foundation. This should never be more than two shades darker then your foundation. 

Square Face


Has the same width from the edges of the forehead, across the cheek and from jaw to jaw. Also a strong and broad forehead with angular jaw. You should use a darker shade to accentuate the central part of your forehead. Also contour the hairline on the temples and jaw at both corners in order to soften the corners. The color of your blush should be matte to reduce the appearance of the cheeks. 

Long Face



A long face has high cheek bones, raised forehead and distinct jaw line. The face is longer that is is wide. It is best to highlight the temples, cheeks, and bottom jaw. This will give the face more width. 

Triangular Shape


Has a narrow forehead and cheekbones and a wide jawline. You need to soften the lower part of your face. You should avoid emphasizing the cheeks or chin. Contour your temples  

Until next time, 
The wicked
