To downplay the heaviness of asquare face shape your makeup should create a delicate look. A good place to start is using lipstick and eye shadow in a dark tone and leaving all other makeup as light as possible. For further advice, try these tips:
- Use a shader that is one tone darker than your foundation under your cheekbones, out to your hair line and down under the points of your jaw to create a flattering shape.
- To narrow down the top of your face, blend some shader just above your temples to the outer corner of your forehead.
- Use shaping and shading tricks to lift the outer edges of your face so that your jaw line appears lifted.
Cheekbones
Apply a light colored blusher on your cheekbones and chin to give them the illusion of lift.
Eyes
- Use a dark colored eye shadow under your eye, on your lid and from the inner point of your eyebrow to the outer edge.
Lips
- Use a bright lipstick on your lips and apply it to your top lip with a slightly pointed shape to help make your chin appear more pointed. For more tips on shaping your lips, see our beauty article, Makeup Tricks: Shaping Your Lips.
