An elongated (or narrow) face has an oval shape, the vertical axis of which is 1.5 times or more more than the horizontal axis. Characteristic features of this type of appearance is a long chin, a high forehead and, as a rule, the nose is also somewhat elongated.
The previously elongated face was considered a sign of aristocratic origin, but now the representatives of the weaker sex are very complex, if they have just such an appearance. Although modern well-known stars of show business (Kylie Minogue, Cher, Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler) have an elongated
face shape, and this in no way bothers them. The main thing is to emphasize all the advantages and benefits.
About makeup and more
However, like all other face types, a narrow one requires an individual approach in everything. You need to find your own style. Makeup for an elongated face will also be slightly different from, for example, makeup for a round type. Consult a stylist. Eyebrows for an oval face most advantageously shrink remote from the nose and have an average width. Absolutely straight lines above the eyes will look ideal.
They will be able to emphasize the immediacy of the image and give originality to facial expressions, but if such eyebrows for an oval face scare you a little with their radicalism, then you can choose options of an arched type, with a soft bend. But be careful: do not make too “sharp” bend and strongly lower the end of the eyebrow to the temples. Because in this case, the face will look unnatural. Below is a photo of
eyebrows, the shape of which is not recommended for women with an oval face. If the bend is too high and sharp with arched brows or round, then a high forehead will seem larger. Is this what we want? Not at all, because our task is to correct the face so that everything looks harmonious and correct. Also, in no case do not turn your eyebrows into thin strings by excessive removal of hairs - this looks extremely unnatural.
About correction
Eyebrows for an oval face are smooth transitions and the absence of sharp bends: neither the arch of the eyebrow nor its end should form obvious angles relative to the horizontal. For correct correction, the following points should be considered:
- Removing excess hair from the bridge of the nose will help to soften the face and visually shorten the nose.
- The beginning of the eyebrow for the oval face should coincide with the edge of the nostril, and the distance between the eyebrows should be approximately equal to two fingers or the section of the eye.
- The transition from a wide eyebrow to a thin end must be made as soft and smooth as possible.
- If initially your eyebrows have a sharp break, then remove the hairs from the top edge of the center and apply a few strokes with a pencil on the bottom;
- The end of the eyebrows should be directed to the temples, otherwise the eyebrows, the tips of which tend to go up, visually shorten the face.
Taking into account such ingenuous nuances, you can give a beautiful shape to the eyebrows and your face. To help in the correction of the "oval" type of appearance will also be able to long, covering the forehead, straight bangs. In addition to it, you can use glasses to help “shorten” the elongated face. Important! When choosing a frame, give preference to models that do not cover the eyebrows. By the way, socialite Ksenia Sobchak hides her long face just like that.
