Correct make up application for your face shape

Your face shape will affect how you apply make up as you might want to enhance or diminish certain features.

Heart shaped face - This shape has a wider forehead than jawline, to rebalance, apply shader at the temples to reduce the width and highlighter along the jawline to increase the width of the jawline.

Round face shape - This face shape can appear slightly wider. To rebalance and give the appearance of a longer face apply highlighter down the forehead to the nose and shader to the sides of the face.

Diamond face shape - This face shape is unite angular so to rebalance the shape apple shader to the forehead and chintz reduce the length. To diminish any angles, apply shader to the centre point at the sides of the face. You could also add highlighter above and beneath these centre points at the sides of the face to creat width where the face is at its most narrow.
