Face Contouring: How To Do It
Want to change your face shape or just want to have more flattering features? Well your foundation and makeup tools are all you need to bring out your cheek bones, shorten your nose, slim and rid your face of a double chin.

Before we get started, here are some of the things you will be using to shape and contour your face.
Blush brush, powder brush, liquid foundation, loose or pressed powder, blush, bronzer and highlighting powder.
Ready, set . . . Let’s go.
For all face shapes, always apply foundation to even out your skin tone.
Oval: This shape tends to have the ideal features that do not need reshaping or contouring. For those of you who got it like that . . . hooray for you. For the rest of us, let’s move on.
Round: This shape tends to be shorter, somewhat wide with full cheekbones and a rounded chin. It is fuller and tends to look more youthful than other face shapes.
Use a highlighting powder to highlight your forehead, under your eyes slightly above your cheekbones, and the center of your chin to draw attention to your face. Use a bronzer that is two shades darker than your natural skin. Add a small amount on your brush and apply across temples, cheeks and jaw line to make face appear more oval shaped.
Long: This shape tends to have high cheekbones, deep forehead and a strong, sharp, chiseled jaw line.
Using your bronzer, sweep color across your chin with your powder brush. Blend evenly using outward strokes to make face appear shorter. Use a blush on the apples of your cheeks, blend outwardly across your face to help give the illusion of a wider and shorter your face.
Square: This shape tends to be the same width at the forehead, cheeks and jaw.
Use a highlighting powder to highlight the center of your forehead, underneath the eyes slightly above your cheekbones, and the tip of your chin to draw attention to the middle of your face. Use bronzer to contour your temples toward your hairline, and on both sides of your jaw. Follow with your blush and apply to the apples of your cheeks to make your face appear more oval shaped.
Heart: This shape tends to look like an inverted triangle - wide at the forehead and curves down to a pointed or narrow chin.
Use a highlighting powder on your chin to broaden, and on forehead, underneath the eyes slightly above your cheekbones to draw attention to the center of your face. Use a bronzer to contour the temples and cheeks, and to diminish the width of your face.
Pear: This shape tends to be narrow at the temples and forehead and wider at the cheeks and jaw area.
Use a highlighting powder on your forehead to create the illusion of width, and highlight underneath the eyes slightly above the cheekbones and the tip of your chin. Use a blush to contour the jaw area and the cheeks to minimize their width.
Don't have a bronzer or highlighter? Forget about it! Regardless of shape you’re in, using a darker and lighter foundation on all shapes will work just as well.
