1. How to Determine Your Face Shape

First, pull your hair back and analyze your face in the mirror. Compare your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline:

Oval – Balanced proportions, slightly rounded jaw.

Round – Cheeks are the widest part, softer angles.

Square – Strong jawline, forehead and jaw are similar widths.

Heart – Wider forehead, narrow chin.

Diamond – High cheekbones, narrower forehead and jaw.

Oblong/Rectangular – Longer than it is wide, straight sides.

2. Makeup for Each Face Shape

Oval
(Ideal balance – most styles work)

Contour: Light contour under cheekbones to enhance structure.

Brows: Soft, natural arches to maintain balance.

Blush: Apply on the apples of the cheeks and blend slightly upward.

Eyes: Almost all eyeliner styles and shadow placements work well.

Lips: Any lip shape looks good—play with different styles.


Round (Create more angles & definition)

Contour: Focus on temples and jawline to add structure.

Brows: Higher, more defined arches to elongate the face.

Blush: Apply diagonally from the apples toward the temples.

Eyes: Winged liner and upward eyeshadow styles add lift.

Lips: Overline slightly on the cupid’s bow to add length.


Square (Soften strong angles)

Contour: Focus on softening the jawline and temples.

Brows: Soft, curved arches to counteract sharp angles.

Blush: Apply in a circular motion on the apples to add roundness.

Eyes: Smudged liner and blended shadows help soften the look.

Lips: Glossy or slightly overlined lips to soften the face.


Heart (Balance a wide forehead & narrow chin)

Contour: Light contour on temples and chin to even proportions.

Brows: Soft, rounded brows—avoid harsh arches.

Blush: Apply lower on the cheeks to balance the face.

Eyes: Natural, soft shadows and liner for harmony.

Lips: A fuller lower lip can help balance the chin—try a gradient effect.


Diamond (Soften cheekbones, balance forehead & jaw)

Contour: Light contour on cheekbones, avoid over-defining.

Brows: Medium-thick, softly arched brows to balance width.

Blush: Apply near the cheekbones but blended outward.

Eyes: Winged liner or soft, diffused shadow works best.

Lips: Bold lips can bring balance to the face.


Oblong/Rectangular (Shorten the appearance of the face)

Contour: Focus on the forehead and chin to reduce length.

Brows: Straighter, less arched brows help shorten the face.

Blush: Apply horizontally along the cheeks for width.

Eyes: Smudged lower liner or soft smoky eyes can balance the face.

Lips: Fuller, rounded lips create a softening effect.
