Applying Makeup Per Face Shape

Different Types Of Facial Shapes And Makeup:

3. Heart-shaped Face: This is a shape where it is wider at the forehead and narrowing towards the chin, a heart shaped face should use blusher on the cheekbones, should be blended carefully and the middle of the face should be avoided. If this is done, then there will be a balancing effect. Using darker contour shades will aid in giving it that receding look for any protruding bone structure. Using lighter contour shades will bring out bone structure. The heart-shaped face has wide in the forehead, so use a darker contour you want to reduce the temple area by the use of a darker contour to give it the oval shape. The heart-shaped face is wide in the cheek area, and to lessen it you have to apply dark foundation to the cheek area nearest the hairline. This will make the cheeks look little slim. Then with the help of your cosmetic sponge blend in the darker contour to the hairline.
4. Long Face: On the whole, your features are long and angular. Most of the length from the eye to the chin area is long. To give the face a shortened look, apply blusher on the cheekbones and blend it towards the apples of the cheeks. By applying highlighter to the chin, you can also get that shortening effect. The long face has high cheekbone, a broad forehead and a strong sharp chiseled jawline. If you have a long face, the last thing you should do is highlight or contour your face as this will make you face appear even longer. Brushing a bit of bronzer across your chin will give it an impression of a shorter chin.You can be generous with your blush and put lots of colour on the apples of your cheeks as this will help to widen and shorten your face. When you apply your blush, you should start closer in on the apples of your cheeks and brush in a outward motion across the face, mostly upwards.
