Contouring For Different Face Shapes

Contouring is a strange thing but it’s been ruling out life and our beauty regimen for years now. It’s essentially the process that uses the play of light and shadow in order to achieve a more defined face shape. A lot of the time oval is the face shape that appears to be most desirable by people around the globe. But we’re moving forward to a world where being unique and different is good. So take this contouring advice with a grain of salt and use the bits that suit you and omit the ones that you find unnecessary. It’s your face, your life, your makeup. Here are just the traditional rules of contouring. But we all know the rules are meant to be broken.

Contouring Round Face

A face that’s essentially as long as it is wide is considered to be round. Celebs like Chrissy Teigen, Mila Kunis, Ginnifer Goodwin have round faces. When it comes to contouring what you can do with a round face is to contour around your hairline, forehead and temples to make this wide part appear more narrow. You can also add more angles to your face and make it look more chiseled by contouring just under your cheekbones. One thing you should keep in mind to use different shades of contouring for different parts of your face. Make the forehead contour darker and the cheekbone one lighter for a more natural finish.
