![]() ![]() Finally the face portion was completed with a sheer powder to set everything.įrom there I moved onto her eyes. To add a bit of a "glow" I used the Blend N Glow lightest shade on all the places I blended her highlighter. I applied it on her face just like the picture and then blended it into her skin with a stipple brush. (depending on your face shape)Īs you can see in the image, the highlighter/concealer was used in on her nose, small area of her forehead, under eyes, above lips on chin and on the cheeks between the cheek and chin contour color. It should look like a soft blend from your cheeks towards temples or ears. PLEASE do not make a harsh blush line on your face. Bringing it up towards her temples would only make her look longer and she doesn't need that. The blush was started from the apples of her cheeks and swept it gently towards her ears. Because she already has a long face keeping it more of a horizontal line looks better. After I applied it on her face like the image above, I used another stipple brush and small angled brush to blend. The contour color is also a Maybelline Fit ME stick only a few shades darker than the foundation. ![]() The Maybelline Fit Me sticks glide really well onto your skin but you'll want to blend it into your face with a stipple brush to give it a beautiful finished look. ALWAYS make sure to match your foundation with your neck. Stipple: T o apply with many light dabs in to your face.įACE: I first picked a foundation color that matched her neck color. Make sure you always stipple it into your face. TIP: When you apply cream products to your face, make sure you use a sponge and don't slide it on your face. If you're like me, where I have the occasional blemish, dry skin and a couple acne scars from my teenage years I want to hide, than you'll want something with a bit more coverage and more moisturizing like cream products. ![]() ![]() If you have clear, normal skin, you can wear basically anything. The best product for you really depends on your skin tone and sensitivity. You want to GLOW in pictures, not sparkle or have that greasy shine. You might be asking, "can't you Photoshop that out?" Its a good question but the answer is no. There's nothing worse than having that horrible shine across your face in pictures because you used the wrong foundation. When you're being photographed, I always recommend that you wear makeup that gives you a matte finish. Products: I said this in my previous post but I have to mention it again. (Hover or click on the images to get a description) If there's anyone else with this face shape and you're considering a hair cut, THIS is awesome. On a side note, her hair cut is perfect for her face shape. To learn more about the basics of contouring you can visit my first post. Instead I treated her cheeks more like an oblong face shape and bringing her contouring slightly lower, towards her ears. She has that square forehead but its also long which means that those angles aren't really necessary. For example, on a square face like mine, most of the angles used are angled upwards towards my temples to give a lifted and thinner look. The Heart, Round, Square, Oval and Pear and a lot of them are a bit confusing.ĭid you know That there are actually 9 face shapes?įinally after doing my research, I realized Amber has a rectangle/oblong face shape! Because her face shape is a combination of oblong and square, there were some things that I had to do differently than most. That process got me thinking, "It shouldn't be THIS hard to find someone's face shape." Then I realized that most of the people I've helped in the past with makeup and hair had no idea what face shape they were. There are a lot of guides on pinterest or google but most have only 5 face shapes examples. Then at last, I found that she was mostly a rectangle and the only difference is her jawline which isn't quite as square as your regular rectangle. Was she an oblong? No, her chin and hair line were too square. Amanda's face shape was a bit more challenging to figure out. At first I thought, "oh, she's an oval." But then, I noticed her face was longer than an an average oval. I've known Amanda for a few years now and I was super excited to have her as one of my models. One of the most important things I've learned doing makeup for people is that to do it properly, you HAVE to know and understand face shapes. My model for this post was a friend of mine and we used to work together at JC Penny Portraits. ![]()
