MAKE YOUR FACE LOOK PERFECT WITH CONTOURING
Want your face to look slimmer and your nose sharper? Well, contouring your face with makeup can help define your features. If properly applied, it can enhance all the strong points while downplaying a weak chin or nose. A senior makeup artist with an international makeup brand, Sonic Sarwate, says, “Contouring your face with makeup can definitely change the shape of your face — a round face can be made to look slimmer, a broad forehead can be made to look less broad and so on.” The basic trick to contouring lies in using two or more shades of makeup/foundation, reveals Sonic. With the help of the darker shades, we can get a slimming effect while the lighter shades can be used to make features prominent. Choose a foundation palette that has at least three to four shades in it or buy three separate sticks or bottles of shades and then get to work.
SQUARE FACE
You know that you have a square face if the sides of your face are straight and your face is nearly as wide as it is in length, thereby making your jaw line the most prominent part of the face.
To contour a square face, use a darker shade under the cheekbone, blending it downward towards the jaw line. Also contour the corners of your forehead and highlight the centre of the face to create a triangle. This will make the jaw line appear narrow.

OVAL FACE
This is the shape all other face shapes aspire to be. An oval or eggshaped face is considered to be the best — all kinds of makeup, glares, haircuts look great on this one. It is tough to go wrong with this one as an oval face can carry almost any look with elan.
Use contour in a triangle shape just accentuating the cheekbone as you already have a perfect, classic shape. Highlight the cheekbones for defined features.

ROUND FACE
If your jaw line is mostly round and full and your cheekbones mark the widest/most prominent part of the face, then you have a round face. People with this face shape have soft cheeks, and need to bring in an angular look. Hence, to contour a round face, take a shade darker than your skin tone and use it around the face on the hair line and jaw line to make it look more oval. Then highlight the centre of the face to make it look sharper.
