Reveal Makeup Basics


All of us know that makeup can really do wonders, but unfortunately not all of us know the techniques behind applying it.

Doing make up is an art, and if you want to learn the secrets of this art for yourself, then the first thing you should know is that the face shape is an important factor around which the makeup application is formed. If you are not fond of your facial features or face shape cosmetics makeup can be used to remake your appearance.

Beautiful features can easily be enhanced with the proper kind of cosmetics makeup. It can enrich your beauty, but you should also be careful that it doesn’t have the opposite effect. Below are some tips on application techniques that will compliment the shape of your face.

The oval face is said to be the most exemplary and aesthetically desired one. It needs the least make up. But still you may apply dark foundation on the chin and on the forehead to make it not that intensely oval.

The round face usually has the same proportions of length and weight, so you’ll need to use cosmetics makeup to make it more prominent. If you have a round face apply darker foundation on the temples and around the lower part of the face, the jawline especially, to make it look oval.

The square face differs from the round face in that it is more bony and its jawline corners are more expressive and sharp than that of the round face. The temples and the jawline are more accentuated. So these two areas should be targeted. Apply relatively dark foundation on the temples and the jawline to make it less outlined. The next step is to apply a lighter contour on the center of your forehead and eyes. This will visually concentrate the attention on the center of your face and shift the attention from the corners creating an illusion of an oval face.

The heart shape face is wide in the temple and forehead area and narrow at the jaw line. Imagine an oval and apply a dark foundation to hide everything that visually goes out of that oval. Cover mostly the temple area.

Take all these pieces of advice into account when you next apply cosmetics makeup.
