Finding out what your face shape is to choose the perfect make up is as important as knowing your body shape in order to find the best outfit. Look at yourself in the mirror, analyze your face structure and take the best out of what you have!
Oval
This is considered the most aesthetically balanced face. Eyes separated by an eye’s length, a forehead wider than the lower face, and eyebrows that arch just above the middle of your eyes. Use make up to bring out your personality choosing by highlighting either your eyes or your lips, but not both at the same time!!!

Round
The principal objective is to create an illusion of length.
Use makeup to create lightness from the lower lip to the chin and from the brows to the hairline in order to minimize the fullness in the lower cheeks and temples.
You can use two different shades of foundation. Place the darker foundation, which should be just one shade deeper than your skin tone, in the fullness at your temples, as well as in the fullness of your jaw line. Blend the lighter foundation under the eyes, on the nose, chin and forehead. Also, keep your eyebrows on the thick side and as tapered outward as possible.
Rectangular
The basic cosmetic principle lies in accentuating the cheekbones and bringing out the middle third of the face. You have to create an illusion of length. Bring lightness to the cheekbones, the center of the forehead and the chin. Horizontal lines will help give your face more width. Shorter and less arched eyebrows also help. Blush should go always below your cheekbones.
Square
Sweeping your brush upward toward your temples can minimize a harsh jaw line and soften the lines of your face. Generous eyebrow shaping toward the outer edges of your eyes will also help.
You can use two different shades of foundation. The deeper shade will go in the areas that you want to minimize: the forehead and square parts of the jaw line. Apply the lighter foundation in chin, forehead and cheekbones. It's almost as if you are making a diamond of lightness that extends from forehead to chin and widens at the cheekbones.
Triangular
Enhance a wide forehead and a small, narrow, chin by accenting your cheekbones and filling out your eyebrows. The eyes and the mouth are very important. If you highlight both it will draw attention away from the sharper features of your face.
