In principle, there are three basic and well-known face shapes that all stylists and make-up artists repel when creating an image: round, oval and square. However, there is another type of person, which is difficult to determine. The elongated face in shape is close to the oval, but more elongated, narrow. Women with an elongated, elongated face shape most often have a high forehead, a sharp chin and sunken cheeks. In order to accurately determine whether you are the owner of an elongated face shape, it is necessary to measure the length of the face along the line from the chin to the hairline and in the width between the lines of the cheekbones. Divide the length by the width, and if the number turns out to be 1.5 or more, then you are the owner of an elongated, elongated face shape. However, do not be upset, competent makeup will hide all the shortcomings of this form and emphasize the merits.
Features of makeup for an elongated face
The main feature of such a make-up is that it visually should reduce the forehead and round the chin in order to smooth out the sharp shapes a little. Let's take a step-by-step look at applying makeup on an extended type of face.
- It all starts with applying the foundation (foundation). Choose the right texture and shade that is perfect for your color type. With a tonal basis, you should not overdo it, otherwise you will look unnatural.
- In order to slightly change the proportions of the forehead, apply blush along the hairline. This must be done very carefully. Blush should be chosen a little darker, the selected tonal foundation and after application, thoroughly blend, so as not to leave an ugly noticeable line.
- Using approximately the same method, we slightly correct the lines of the cheekbones and chin. In this case, it is better to use a blush of peach tones.
- Next, go to the eyebrows. Eyebrows play a very important and almost dominant role in creating the image. It is the eyebrows that make our face the way we see it. With the elongated shape of the face, eyebrows can also play a very important role, correcting some defects. For an extended face, eyebrows are best made straight. Expressive eye makeup is done to such eyebrows and they visually attract attention and remove excess elongation. However, do not make them too wide or too narrow. With long it is also necessary to be extremely careful. Stick to naturalness.
- The next step is to create eye makeup. Here, ladies with an elongated face shape should remember that the ascending lines in the eye make-up will further lengthen the already elongated shapes. Shadows should be applied towards the temples, and the arrows should be made straight and sharp.
Remember that when creating an image, you should remember not only about makeup, but also about hairstyle and accessories. When choosing a hairstyle, owners of an elongated face shape should in no case be able to wear straight long hair and long hanging earrings. it is better to give preference to short haircuts or voluminous styling, and choose accessories with a rounded shape.
