Contouring different face shapes: how to apply concealer correctly and choose the right brushes?

Oval . Harmonious, slightly elongated, with smooth lines. This shape is considered ideal, so contouring is used more to emphasize natural features. Using a contouring brush, apply a dark concealer under the cheekbones, along the hairline and lightly along the jaw. Light - under the eyes and on the chin for freshness.

Round . This type of face has approximately the same width and height, so the main goal is to visually lengthen the features and make the contours more expressive. To do this, apply a dark shade, starting from the sides of the forehead, along the cheekbones and to the chin, using a contouring brush to soften the contours. And a light shade - under the eyes in the form of an inverted triangle, on the center of the forehead and chin, to slightly expand these areas.

Square. This type is characterized by a wide jaw and the same width of the forehead and cheekbones, so our task is to soften the corners and make the features smoother. We apply a dark concealer to the corners of the forehead, under the cheekbones closer to the nose and on the lower jaw. Light - under the eyes and a little on the chin.

Heart-shaped. If you have a wide forehead and a narrow chin, contouring can be a great way to balance the proportions. Using a cream contouring brush or a dry texture brush, depending on the consistency of the product, apply a dark shade to the sides of your forehead and temples and a little to the center of your chin. A light shade to the center of your forehead, under your eyes, and in the middle of your chin.

Diamond-shaped . This shape is characterized by wide cheekbones, a narrow forehead and chin, and our goal is to make the face more proportional. To do this, we darken the area under the cheekbones with a concealer, starting from the ears and ending in the middle of the cheeks, and lighten the center of the forehead and chin.

Knowing how to apply contouring will help you make your features more expressive and emphasize your natural beauty. All that's left to do is decide which contouring stick will be useful to you.
