Determine the face form

Traditionally, all forms of people in people are customary to share for eight types: oval, square, round, trapezoid, rectangular, triangular, diamond and elongated. Such a classification was chosen due to similarity with geometric shapes and severity of some parts of the facial contour.

To determine your type, you need to get up in front of the mirror, remove your hair back and trace the similarity of the face form with a geometric figure.

Learning to work with different forms

Let's try to understand the details, how to choose the right makeup by the type of face.

  • Oval

Close to ideal in its proportions. Such a person does not require adjustment if there are no serious defects. You just need to emphasize the beauty of the blushes; Apply them smoothly on the cheeks to the temples. If the face seems very flat, add more volume. The central part (middle of the forehead, protruding part of the nose, chin) brighten the lighter tonal cream, and the contours are dark.

  • Square

Makeup problem - hide coarse and angular parts. Dimmer the corners of the forehead and sharp edges of the lower jaw. Dark blush to apply a triangle-shaped line. To soften their severity, the depression under the cheekbones can be lightened slightly.

Eye shadows should be monochrome to not attract attention to wide forehead. With the help of a pencil, the eye is better to lengthen and give a almond shape.

  • Round

Makeup for a round face should lengthen it if a dark tonal or powder with a brush darkened the side contours and edges of the cheeks. The volume of the cheeks reduce, applying a blush in the form of a triangle from the cheekbone towards the lips.

Eye contour can not be changed, but it is clearly obliged. It is better to use two-color shadows. Dark shadows apply to the rolling part of the upper eyelid, and the part under the eyebrows will be lighter.

  • Trapezoidal

Makes for a trapezoidal form should visually alleviate the heavy lower jaw and make a wider top of the head. For this, the chin can be captured by brown blush, and lightly apply light on the protruding part. Naturally, we denote the cheekbones closer to the mouth line, rusting to the temples.

It is possible to expand the upper part of the face, lengthening the eye contour. High dark shadows are better not to use, there will be enough contour and natural tone.

  • Rectangular

For a rectangular type, first dial the forehead at the hair growth line, with the help of brown powder and brush slightly pinch the lower chin line. Side part, on the contrary, clarify. Blushes apply horizontally in the form of an oval, rustling around the edges.

Lips can be slightly increased, applying the contour a little wider than their natural. Eyes Highlight the contour, the inner angle will clarify the shadows, the external dial.

  • Triangular

Triangular face must be corrected with a dark tinge in the side zone of the temples and the outside of the forehead. Smoothly on the downlink from the temples to apply blush.

It is important to correctly allocate lips. They should look round and voluminous. To visually lift low eyelids, your eyes can be squeezed in vertical technique.

  • Diamond

On a diamond-shaped face, soften pronounced angles. To do this, dial the side circuit of the cheekbone and the sharp peak of the chin. Blushing is better to apply on the front, from the lip line, not bringing to cheekbone.

  • Elongated

An extended oval is desirable to shorten vertically and expand horizontally. The bottom of the chin and the top of the forehead toned with a dark tint. Horizontal blush can extend the contours.

Lips and eyes are better not to emphasize, but use natural outlines and natural shades.
