Contouring helps define and enhance the natural structure of your face. For round faces, contour along the sides of the forehead, jawline, and under the cheekbones to create a more defined look.
Highlighting adds brightness and brings forward certain areas of the face. For square faces, highlight the center of the forehead, bridge of the nose, and tops of the cheekbones to soften angles.
The placement of blush can change the appearance of your face shape. For heart-shaped faces, apply blush to the apples of the cheeks and sweep it towards the temples to balance a wider forehead and narrower chin.
Well-shaped brows can transform your face. For oval faces, maintain a soft arch to keep the natural balance, while round faces benefit from higher arches to add length.
Using lip liner can enhance your lips’ shape. For longer faces, fuller lips created with a well-blended lip liner can add width and balance the length of the face.
Tailor your eye makeup to your face shape. For diamond-shaped faces, emphasize the outer corners of the eyes with darker shades to balance the narrow forehead and chin.
For all face shapes, balance is key. If you heavily contour or highlight one area, make sure to blend well and keep other makeup elements softer to avoid an overly dramatic look that might disrupt your face's harmony.
