Make sure you always stipple it into your face. TIP: When you apply cream products to your face, make sure you use a sponge and don't slide it on your face. If you're like me, where I have the occasional blemish, dry skin and a couple acne scars from my teenage years I want to hide, than you'll want something with a bit more coverage and more moisturizing like cream products. If you have clear, normal skin, you can wear basically anything. The best product for you really depends on your skin tone and sensitivity. You want to GLOW in pictures, not sparkle or have that greasy shine. You might be asking, "can't you Photoshop that out?" Its a good question but the answer is no. There's nothing worse than having that horrible shine across your face in pictures because you used the wrong foundation. When you're being photographed, I always recommend that you wear makeup that gives you a matte finish. Products: I said this in my previous post but I have to mention it again.

On a side note, her hair cut is perfect for her face shape. To learn more about the basics of contouring you can visit my first post. Instead I treated her cheeks more like an oblong face shape and bringing her contouring slightly lower, towards her ears. She has that square forehead but its also long which means that those angles aren't really necessary. For example, on a square face like mine, most of the angles used are angled upwards towards my temples to give a lifted and thinner look. The Heart, Round, Square, Oval and Pear and a lot of them are a bit confusing.ĭid you know That there are actually 9 face shapes?įinally after doing my research, I realized Amber has a rectangle/oblong face shape! Because her face shape is a combination of oblong and square, there were some things that I had to do differently than most. That process got me thinking, "It shouldn't be THIS hard to find someone's face shape." Then I realized that most of the people I've helped in the past with makeup and hair had no idea what face shape they were. There are a lot of guides on pinterest or google but most have only 5 face shapes examples. Then at last, I found that she was mostly a rectangle and the only difference is her jawline which isn't quite as square as your regular rectangle. Was she an oblong? No, her chin and hair line were too square. Amanda's face shape was a bit more challenging to figure out. At first I thought, "oh, she's an oval." But then, I noticed her face was longer than an an average oval. I've known Amanda for a few years now and I was super excited to have her as one of my models. One of the most important things I've learned doing makeup for people is that to do it properly, you HAVE to know and understand face shapes. My model for this post was a friend of mine and we used to work together at JC Penny Portraits.
