Hello fabulous humans! Are you tired of applying makeup and not getting the desired look you want? The issue could be that you’re not using the correct makeup for your face shape. Everybody’s face is unique, and using makeup that does not complement it can be overwhelming. In this blog, we will guide you through the process of finding the right makeup for your face shape.

Round Face Shape 🌞

A circular face has the same width and length, with rounded cheeks. A significant concern is avoiding any features that may make your face appear rounder.

Highlight Cheekbones 🌟

To contour a round face, emphasize your cheekbones. Highlight your cheekbone with a stroke of lighter shade to bring out cheekbones and lend the delusion of height.

Contour Your Jawline 🌟

Round-shaped faces frequently have smooth jawlines. Shading underneath the jaw can add depth and provide a perspective shape.

Square Face Shape 🌝

Square faces have highlighted jawlines, cheekbones, and forehead. Working with the contour and highlighting will give the appearance of a circular face.

Soften Your Jawline 🌟

Blend a lighter contour color below your cheekbones to help soften your jaw. This technique helps soften the angles of a square face.

Oblong Face Shape 🌜

Oblong-shaped faces are longer than wide and high-cheekboned. Contouring and highlighting can lend width to the face.

Highlight the Center of Your Face 🌟

Brighten the center of your face with a lighter foundation shade that is two to three shades lighter than your skin tone. Focus on the under-eye region, chin, and forehead.

Triangle Face Shape 🌚

Contour Your Jawline 🌟

To prevent the look of a more substantial jaw, contour underneath and blend towards the middle of your face, which will support in giving the illusion of a slimmer jaw.
