If you have a round face then you are in the gorgeous company of stars like Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore, and Renée Zellweger. A round face makes you look typically youthful. A round face looks full and appears to be as wide as it is long. This can have the effect of making your face look short. Using make-up and contouring skills will add definition to your face and make it look slimmer.
Plus Size UK have 5 steps to a more defined face:
1. Applying foundation
Foundation can be used to add contours to your face which will add definition. Contouring is a trick which is used by celebrities to make faces look slimmer whilst maintaining a natural look. Contouring is achieved by using different shades of foundations in key areas to slim the face. Apply a lighter shade of foundation than your natural skin colour with a sponge to your forehead, tops of cheeks and chin. Then apply a darker shade to cheeks, the sides of your face and jaw line. Blend up towards the hairline and down towards the neck. Applying a darker shade again to the neck region will also help tone down the look of a double chin. Finish off with translucent powder. This technique will take practice to achieve the best look.
2. Applying blusher
Apply blusher in the hollows of the cheekbones (underneath the cheekbones) will give a lengthier look to your face. Try using a bronzer as this continues to add contours to your face. Apply the blusher using a big fluffy brush using a back and forth motion. If you are not sure where to apply the blusher then suck in your cheeks. Have a look at the range from Bourjois Paris.
3. Applying eyeliner
Line your eyes with a dark eyeliner and use a smudge tool to give a softer look. The in look for this season according to Rimmel UK is “… all about black. Whether it’s a perfect liquid line, as seen at Louis Vuitton, or an Amy Winehouse inspired smudgy black line. It’s goodbye girlie make-up, hello punky, edgy eyes!”
4. Applying eye shadow
Apply a deep shade of eye shadow to the outside section of your eye lid. Add a lighter shade of eye shadow underneath the eyebrow and towards the middle of the eye lid. Take the eye shadow slightly over the width of the eye.
5. Lips
Use a lip liner and matching lipstick and add a touch of gloss to the centre of the bottom lip to accentuate luscious lips! Plus Size UK can recommend the Colour Surge Butter Shine Lipstick from Clinique UK . Why not check out the colours available.
Plus Size UK also have the following tips:
Tip 1: Eyebrows are key to balancing the face. Sculpture the eyebrow so it is a highly arched brow. The peak should be toward the end of the brow and the tail of the brow should be short. Aim the end of the brow toward the tip of ear.
Tip 2: Cut and style your hair in a way that compliments the shape of your face
