Concealer: Apply concealer to the top of the forehead, the chin and on any kind of lines that you want to minimize. Take the sponge and blend the makeup into the face. The cover up should extend from under the eyes all the way up into the temples, especially if the facial structure recedes in that area.
Foundation: Using two different colour foundations, apply the deeper shade in the areas that you want to minimize i.e., the square parts of the forehead and square parts of the jaw line. Blend the makeup into the skin, avoiding the chin. You may wish to bring a bit under the neck as well. Apply the lighter foundation to the same spots that you used the concealer - chin, forehead and cheekbones. Apply translucent powder to all areas of the face with a cosmetic sponge.
Final Touch: Apply contour powder to the same areas as you placed the warmer foundation. Cover the square areas of the temples, keeping the centre light. Apply the powder below the cheekbones and bring it forward right along the square jaw. Using a makeup brush, apply the powder to the cheekbones from the ear to the outer corner of the eye. Remember not to bring the blush too high - you'll draw attention to the square features of the face and negate the emphasis you just created for the cheekbones.
Oval Face: Oval is a perfectly balanced face; the top half balances the bottom half. Those who have oval face are extremely lucky coz they have a perfectly balanced face.
The oval face is considered the most aesthetically balanced face. Accentuate your best features by applying makeup that will bring out the centre part of your face.
Concealer: Apply the concealer covering the area from underneath the eyes to the outer cheekbones. Use a bit in the centre of the forehead as well.
Foundation: Use two different shades of foundation. Apply the darker foundation to the temples. Apply more of the makeup along the outer cheek and jaw line, being sure to include the chin. Next, get your lighter foundation and place that in the centre of the face, including the areas around the eyes, nose, lower forehead and upper lip.
Final Touch: Contour powder is to be applied with a makeup brush to the fullness of the forehead. Starting from the back of the bone, blend the powder into the area below the cheekbones and down the jaw line. Apply blush to the cheekbones, moving the brush forward.
Diamond Face Shape: Cheekbone is clearly wider than forehead and jaw line. Your aim should be to reduce the width around the cheekbone line.
In a diamond-shaped face more emphasis is to be given to the chin, the cheeks and the forehead. Applying cosmetics can help to bring the facial features forward.
Concealer: Apply concealer to get rid of any discolorations, redness, brownness etc. Apply concealer into the centre of the face to create a look of lightness. Blend it in the centre of the forehead, under the eyes and on the sides of the nose.
Foundation: Use two different colours of foundation i.e., one dark and one light. Using a cosmetic sponge, apply the dark shade to the areas that you want to minimize, such as the temples and the jaw line. Keep the centre area where you applied the concealer clear. Next, choose a lighter shade of foundation, one that is very close to your natural colour. Put it on the same areas that you used the concealer - under the eyes, across the nose, forehead and chin. Next, use a sponge to apply a translucent powder, preferably one that doesn't have a colour.
