Makeup for a square face
Owners of a square-shaped face are often dissatisfied with their appearance, since such a face has its own flaws and features. To hide them, you need to know the rules of makeup.
Peculiarities
Most girls do not like the massive features of their square face, and they try to correct them with a make-up. To do this, you need to know a few rules:
-
Should darken the wide parts - cheekbones, chin, nose, forehead, since the main task is to visually reduce the face and give it an oval shape;
-
The main part of the face must be lightened with cosmetics. So it will visually stretch;
-
We need to focus on merit. If there are plump lips or large eyes, then they must be distinguished.
Following these rules, every girl with a square shape will be able to soften the lines and emphasize the best sides of her appearance.
Rules and stages of correction
For the visual transformation of a square shape, you should follow a certain algorithm for applying makeup. Step by step correction with it looks like this:
- Changing the shape and wide lines of the face with tonal means:
-
To begin with, the skin should be moisturized with a cream or makeup base. This will help in the future to evenly distribute the foundation;
-
Pick up two shades of foundation. One should be similar to the natural complexion, and the second should be 1-2 shades darker.It is recommended to apply the cream with a brush, so it will lie more evenly and will not give the effect of a mask.
With a tonal tool similar in color to the shade of the face, it is necessary to draw an oval. Next, you should carefully blend the lines and apply the cream on the main part of the face. Areas of the skin that have remained intact should be tinted with a darker color and shaded;
-
If the nose stands out strongly in the general plan, it should be slightly shaded with a darker tone cream. To do this, it is applied to the wings and carefully shaded. Apply powder, light-colored concealer on top;
-
Correction of cheekbones and cheeks occurs with the help of blush. For this, only light colors are used. No need to blend them close to the lips, as this focuses on the wide chin. The blush line should end at the level of the lips;
-
The forehead and chin are lightened with foundation, powder or light-colored concealer.
-
After the face has acquired an attractive oval shape, you should proceed to the next step.
- Eyebrow correction:
-
To begin with, the eyebrows should be given the correct shape. In this case, they should not be too thin or wide. Preference should be given to shortened eyebrows and a shape with a bend. Do not make them straight or rounded;
-
It is not recommended to dye or bring the hairs in black. Even if they themselves are black, there is no need to emphasize them again. The color of the eyebrow pencil should be chosen based on the color of the hair or a tone lighter.
-
- Make up eyes:
-
For girls with narrow or small eyes, arrows will be a real salvation. They need to be slightly lifted up in the corners of the eyes. Black is suitable for evening makeup, and gray or smoky arrows are suitable for daytime makeup;
-
The palette of shadows should be used monophonic. With close-set eyes, it is recommended to apply light shadows to the inner corners, and for far-set eyes, on the contrary, dark colors. The choice of shade of shadows depends on the type of makeup and event;
-
Don't forget to color your eyelashes. The upper hairs should be carefully painted with ink in several layers. The lower ones should be covered only in the corners.
-
- Lip Shape:
-
With the help of a lip pencil, you can increase or decrease their size. The color should be chosen close to the natural shade of the lips;
-
The bright color of lipstick is appropriate only in evening make-up. During the day, preference should be given to a gloss of a neutral shade or lip balm.

Day
Daytime make-up is distinguished by calm shades and careful preparation of the skin. Before applying cosmetics, it should be cleaned with a scrub, treated with a tonic and moisturized with a cream or makeup base. This is followed by the application of a skin-colored foundation and blush of cold shades. All funds are carefully shaded, and the excess is removed with a napkin. Emphasis should be placed on only one detail of the face.
During the day it is better to highlight the eyes. For this purpose, several colors from the same gamut are selected. The palette should be in harmony with the color of the eyes.
The boundaries between several shadows should be carefully shaded. Intense black mascara would be appropriate. For lips, choose nude colors of lipstick or gloss.
Evening
For evening make-up, it is also important to prepare the skin - clean with tonic or foam and apply a base. For the evening, the face should be corrected according to all the rules. First, give it the correct oval, then construct the main part. Eyes or lips can be highlighted brighter.
For lips, lipstick of a scarlet, red shade is suitable.For the eyes - the "smoky eyes" technique. You can choose darker shades of shadows. Arrows will also be appropriate in this makeup. They can be of different lengths and thicknesses.
Eyeliner is better to choose black. With special care, it is necessary to highlight both the upper and lower eyelashes.
