Makeup is not only a way to make your face more vivid and contrasting, but also the ability to adjust its shape.
The round shape of the face cannot be called a drawback: firstly, this shape is characteristic of the vast majority of representatives of the Slavic people. Secondly, a round face gives a woman good looks and youthfulness. But in order to emphasize precisely these properties, it is necessary to master makeup techniques.
Sculpting is a complex of methods of makeup artists that does makeup for a full face in a way of giving it the features characteristic of a classic face shape.
Blush or bronzer?
In order to give the round face the correct shape, it is necessary to use means to darken or brighten the skin tone. The main task of the person performing makeup is to make the face more textured, emphasizing the intensity of the cheekbones and visually reducing the cheeks.
As a means to darken skin tone, you can use blush or bronzer. Both products are pigmented decorative formulations available in friable, pressed or creamy form.
In order to make a choice, which particular product will make the makeup for a full face more correct in terms of face harmony, it is better to use the trial and error method.
The traditional school of makeup advises blondes to use blush, and brunettes to use bronzer, since the combination of a cosmetic product and your own skin tone in this case gives a more natural result. But today there are no strict rules in the field of make-up, therefore, everyone decides what decorative cosmetics to perform makeup for a full face, based on which product is easier to use.
Sculpting
The main rule of sculpting a face in makeup is to apply a highlighter on areas that need to be visually made more voluminous, light tone or a special product with a small shimer - highlighter. To highlight the cheekbones on the oval face, makeup artists advise applying the product with a line from the outer corners of the eyes towards the wings of the nose, and then thoroughly blend with a sponge or brush.
After this, it is necessary to darken those areas that are most pronounced on the round face - the cheeks. The bronzer is applied to the area under the cheekbone and also carefully shaded. If the correction is performed using blush, they should be applied mainly on the side of the face, visually narrowing it.
You can fix such a make-up for a full round face with colorless powder.
Emphasis
Any makeup involves creating an emphasis on any part of the face: lips or eyes. Recent trends allow emphasis on eyebrows.
Makeup for a full face is best done with an emphasis on the eyes. Bright juicy lips on a round face will not look expressive, but, on the contrary, emphasize the fullness of the cheeks. Graphic eyebrows will also not be able to emphasize beauty, since the horizontal created by the eyebrows contrasting with the skin will visually make the face even more rounded.
An exception is the shape of the eyebrows, in which their outer corners are much higher than the inner ones, and the eyebrows themselves do not have a characteristic bend. But such a form is not suitable for every person and looks organically only if it is natural, given to a person from birth.
Arrows and Smoky Ice
Bright eye makeup for a full face can be performed in any way that suits a specific appearance. So, make-up with arrows will suit almost everyone, you should only consider your color type. Bright brunettes are allowed to make arrows using black eyeliner or pencil, but blondes are better to make arrows using gray or brown shades, applied with a wet oblique brush.
Smokey-ice, that is, smoky makeup, is not suitable for everyone. With pronounced age-related changes in the skin, overhanging eyelid and convex eyes, it can look inharmonious. In other cases, it is permissible to use shadows: modern fashion trends allow you to use any shades.
Eyelashes
In order to distract attention from puffy cheeks and a round face shape, you need to color the eyelashes well. It is not difficult to do this, you just need to remember a few rules:
- Mascara should be fresh enough not to create lumps and not to crumble.
- Leaving the product on the eyelashes, you need to simulate their shape, bending up or pulling them to the outer corners of the eyelid, creating the effect of “cat's eyes”.
- If the length and density of your eyelashes is not enough, you can use false. For an evening look, you can have in your arsenal eyelashes strung on a single strip fixed on the eyelid; for a daytime, you can use separate beams.
Eye brightness should not compete with the harmony and relevance of makeup. If richly applied black mascara “makes the look heavier”, for a daytime make-up it is better to purchase dark brown or dark gray mascara.
Prohibited Tricks
In order to learn how to create a beautiful image, it is not enough to know how to apply makeup on a full face, you also need to know about mistakes that are important to avoid:
- Bright puffy lips are certainly an attractive feature of a female face, but coupled with a round face, they can make it even more complete visually. In order to make the lips more contrasting, it is better to use matte lipsticks or tints, without a glossy effect or shimmer.
- If it is possible not to use dense tonal foundations, it is better to abandon them. It is preferable to hide small flaws with the help of a corrector. The fact is that the even tone of the face will make it flatter, and, therefore, even more round.
- No need to overload makeup with pearlescent cosmetic products. The lighter and invisible it will be on the face and lips, the more the shape of the face will be visually closer to the classic.
An irregular oval of the face does not allow experimenting with makeup. It is better to choose several options for different occasions (for everyday life, parties) and use only them. Inspiration for choosing the perfect look can be made-up photo for a full face from glossy magazines, thematic sites, illustrations of makeup artists or pictures of popular people.
