Widest at the temple and forehead,tapering down to a curved chin. This is considered the ideal facial shape because of its balance and overall look of symmetry
Oval
This face is widest at the cheekbone area and is usually not much longer than it is wide,having a softly rounded jawline,short chin, and rounded hairline over a rather full forehead
Round
This face has a wide,angular jawline and forehead; the lines of this face are straight and angular
Square
This face shape is long and narrow; the cheeks are often hollowed under prominent cheekbones. Corrective makeup can be applied to create the illusion of width across the cheekbone line,making the face appear shorter and wider
Rectangle( oblong)
Like a pyramid,this face is widest at its base or jawline,tapering up to slightly narrower cheeks and reaching its apex at a narrow forehead. A jaw that is wider than the forehead characterizes the pear-shaped face.corrective makeup can be applied to create width at the forehead, slenderize the jawline, and add length to the face
Triangle( pear shaped)
This facial shape is wide at the temple and forehead area and tapers down to a narrow chin,forming a heart shape (inverted triangle). It is usually soft rather than angular, and has some prominence in the cheekbone area
Heart
Widest at the cheekbones,this face has a narrow chin and forehead. It is angular in form and the measurements of the jaw and hairline are approximately the same

Similar to the concealer brush,but smaller and with a more tapered,rounded edge; also used to apply concealer
Lip brush
Use two foundations,light and dark,with the darker shade blended on the outer edges of the temples,cheekbones, and jawline, and the light one from the center of the forehead down the center of the face to the tip of the chin
Round/square face
Apply a darker foundation over the chin and neck and a lighter foundation through the cheeks and under the eyes to the temples and foreheads, and then blend them together over the forehead for a smooth and natural finish
Triangular face
Blend a light shade of foundation over the outer edges of the cheekbones to bring out the sides of the face
Narrow face
Apply a darker foundation below the cheekbones and along the jawline; blend into the neck
Wide jaw
To minimize a double chin,apply shading under the jawline and chin over the full area
Double chin
To make a long or prominent chin appear less prominent,apply darker foundation over the area

Wide nose
Blend a lighter shade of foundation onto the tip of the nose and between the eyes
Short nose
Outline the upper and lower lips with a soft color to create the illusion of matching proportions
Asymmetrical lips
Use liner to create a slight dip in the center of the upper lip,directly beneath the nostrils. Fill in with a flattering color
Straight upper lip
Outline the lips with a long-lasting lip pencil, and then fill in with a product formulated to keep lip color from running into fine lines. Lighter colors work better and do not show the lines as much as dark or red colors do
Fine lines around the lips
Line the lips to build up the corners of the mouth. This will minimize the drooping appearance. Fill in lips with a soft color
Downturned corners
To soften the peaks of the upper lip,use a medium color liner to draw a softer curve inside the points. Extend the line to the desired shape. Fill in with lip color
Cupid bow or pointed upper lip
Shadow is used to create a desired crease and add definition to the eye area

2. Highlight the brow bone and hidden area.
3. Softly line upper and lower lashes using a thin line( or skip the upper liner).
4. Apply light ( brown) mascara
Monolid
To make small eyes appear larger, extend the shadows slightly beyond the side of the eyes.
1. Place a lighter shadow over the lid,blending it out toward the temple and up to the eyebrow.
2. Apply a darker shadow to the crease and outer corners of the lower lids.
3. Blend eyeliner softly from the center to the outer corners of both eyes along the eyelashes. Another alternative is no eyeliner.
4. Apply mascara, brushing the lashes carefully
Small eyes
Round eyes can be lengthened by extending the shadow beyond the outer corner of the eyes.
1. Apply a medium shade of shadow,blending it over the eyelid out toward the edge of the eyebrow.
2. Apply dark shadow onto the crease and blend it out toward the temple.
3. Line the eye with an eyeliner pencil.
4. Extend and blend the colors applied in steps 1 and 3 toward outer corner of the eye.
5. Apply mascara to the lashes,heavier at the outer corners of the eyes.
Round eyes

1. Apply a medium shading color on the entire eyelid, and blend it toward the eyebrow
2. Highlight the brow bone area
3. Line the eye
4. Apply mascara
Protruding eyelids
For deep set eyes, use b,light,reflective colors
1. Apply a light eyeshadow along the crease of the lid
2. Blend in a medium color next to the outer corners of the eyelids
3. Use a soft color to accentuate the eyes
4. Clearly outline the eyes along the lashes
5. Choose a dark shade of mascara
Deep- set eyes
Close set eyes are closer together than the width of one eye. For eyes that are too close together,lightly apply darker shadow on the outer edge of the eyes and light on the inside near the nose.
1. Apply a paler shade to the lid and a darker shade to the outer corner
2. Line the eye from the middle out to the corner, and blend the shadow outward
3. Apply mascara in an upward and outward motion
Close set eyes
For wide set eyes,apply the darker color to the inner side of the eyelid toward the nose, and blend carefully.
1. Extend a darker shadow to the inner corner of the eye toward the nose so eyes appear closer together
2. Blend a lighter shadow from the middle toward the outer corner. Blend the light and dark colors together in the middle so it’s not obvious
3. Apply liner all the way to the inside edge of the eye by the nose
4. Apply mascara with an inward motion toward the nose
Wide set eyes
For drooping eyelids,shadow evenly and lightly across the lid from the edge of the eyelash line to the small crease in the eye socket. Use a light color on the lid and a medium to dark color( sparingly) above the crease. To offset the droop of the eye,which is often accompanied by a low bone structure or low lid fold, it is suggested to give the appearance of a lift to the entire eye area
1. Tweeze the under area of the outer portion of the brow to give a more prominent arch
2. Lightly apply a medium color shading shadow across the fold and smudge it up and outward
3.Apply highlighter directly under the arch of the brow
4. Apply eyeliner( if used) in a very thin line, and thicken it very slightly at the outside edge in a wedge like point to give a lift to the eye
Downward sloping eyes
To diminish dark circles under the eyes,apply concealer over the dark area,blending and smoothing it into the surrounding area. Set lightly with translucent.
1. Apply matte concealer
2. Use a disposable sponge to very gently and lightly blend the concealer under the eye. Work from the inner corner to the outer corner until the concealer is blended.
3. Counterbalance the most prominent undertone when you choose the concealer color
4. Apply foundation over the concealed areas.
5. Set lightly with translucent powder
Note: powder may accentuate fine lines and dryness. Use sparingly or not at all under the eye
Close- set eyes
When the arch is too high, remove the superfluous hair from the top of the brow and fill in the lower part with eyebrow pencil or shadow. Build up the shape by layering color lightly until the desired effect is achieved
High arch
A low arch gives the illusion of more height and space to a low forehead
Low ( small) forehead
Outline both the upper and lower lips. Fill in lips with soft or shimmery colors to make them appear larger
Small mouth and lips
Draw a thin line just inside the natural lip line. Use soft,flat lipstick colors that will attract less attention than shimmery or glossy lip colors
Large, full lips
Outline the upper and lower lips slightly fuller,but do not try to draw far over the natural lip line. Use a lighter color to make lips appear larger
Thin upper and lower lips
Use a liner to outline the upper lip and then fill in with lip color to balance with the lower lip
Thin upper lip
Line just outside the lower lip to make it appear fuller. Fill in with lip color to create balance between the lower and upper lips
Thin lower lip
The eyes can be made to appear closer together by extending the eyebrow line closer together past the inside corners of the eyes; however, care must be taken to avoid giving the client a frowning look
Wide set eyes
To make the eyes appear farther apart, widen the distance between the eyebrows and extend them slightly outward beyond the outside of the eyes
Close set eyes
Arch the brows high and make them more angular to make the face appear narrower
Round face
Making the eyebrows almost straight ( less arch) can create the illusion of a shorter face. Do not extend the eyebrow lines farther than the outside corners of the eyes
Long face
The face will appear more oval if there is a higher brow arch
Square face
