Makeup for those with a round face
A round face often looks a little childish and tends to have fuller cheeks. It is necessary to use contouring for this shape to make the face more structured, strict and elongated.

- visually enlarge the upper part to create balance by applying a light shade to the sides of the forehead;
- lighten the area of the temples and cheekbones;
- reduce the bottom wide half dark concealer drawing an arc from it from the ear and almost to the chin.

- apply dark shadows to the cheeks in a diamond shape;
- Place a dark accent in the center of the chin and a light one on the sides;
- Place light colors on the bridge of the nose and upper cheeks;
- blend thoroughly, giving the face a rounded shape.
Makeup for a square face shape
The main task of contouring makeup is in this case is to stretch the face as much as possible, making it narrower and smoother. The following steps will help with this:
- a dark tone darkens all protruding corners along the contour;
- the cheeks are highlighted by applying a dark tone with vertices at the temple and at the earlobe, forming a triangle with the third vertex in the middle of the cheek;
- a thin dark arc should be applied to the forehead, along the forehead line at the base of hair growth;
- highlight the nose and upper part of the cheek in a light tone, while the wings of the nose are also slightly darkened;

Contouring oval and long faces
The ideal face shape is considered to be oval; it is the basis for drawing up corrective schemes. Accordingly, in this case no sculpting is required; the use of blush is sufficient.
If contouring is still necessary, for example, for a photo shoot or stage performance, you need to use the standard sculpting instructions.
Step-by-step facial contouring scheme:
With an elongated face shape, contouring is also quite simple - you need to slightly darken the top of the forehead, at the hairline, and the lower part of the chin. This will make the face visually shorter.
Contouring round and triangular faces
Correction of rounded shapes involves in-depth darkening on the sides of the forehead, temples and most of the cheeks, including the angle of the lower jaw. The highlighter is applied under the eyes, on the central part of the chin and forehead (middle).
To sculpt a triangular face, highlight the same areas as for a round face. Bronzer is used less - only on the sides of the forehead, on the temples and upper cheeks, slightly stepping onto the cheekbone.
Contouring square and rectangular faces
If you have a square face shape, you can correct wide cheekbones and forehead by applying a little highlighter in the center of the chin and in the middle of the forehead, as well as under the eyes. The temples, cheeks, corners of the lower jaw, and lateral frontal lobes will have to be darkened.
At rectangular face highlighting is necessary only in the center of the forehead and chin. The bronzer is applied to the lower jaw and forehead, on the sides; there is no need to treat the temples.
Correct contouring of diamond and pear shaped faces
To enhance diamond-shaped facial features, highlighter is distributed in the center of the forehead and chin, and highlights under the eyes are also created. The darkening is done exclusively on the side of the cheekbones.
A trapezoid or pear-shaped face is sculpted in a similar way. The same parts are highlighted as with the diamond shape, the bronzer is applied in a straight line downwards, from the cheekbone to the corner of the lower jaw.

What do you need for contouring?
The ideal palette for contouring the face should consist of 4 shades.
- Warm sculptor (this can be peach blush or bronzer) - the color should match the shade of your tan.
- Cold sculptor is the color of your natural shadow (pay attention to the shadow near the wings of the nose, nasolabial hollows).
- Light sculptor - it can be matte or with a slight satin shine. After all, correct facial contouring is not only about placing dark accents, but also about highlighting certain areas. Using a light sculptor or a delicate highlighter, you can reduce or increase the size of the highlight in certain areas of the face: make the nose narrower, raise the cheekbones or push the chin forward.
- Blush – ideal if the shade of the blush matches the shade of your lips. If you don't use blush, the contouring palette can include a highlighter (a brighter glow than a light sculptor).
Your sculpting palette may contain more shades, because... Skin color changes depending on the season. A concealer that was suitable in winter may look like a cold gray spot on tanned skin. A sculptor that is too dark, chosen in the summer, will end up with an orange stripe in the winter and will be difficult to shade. There are a lot of ready-made contouring palettes, but all different features Skin colors and some shades are absolutely unnecessary. Thanks to INGLOT's Freedom System, you can create a palette of only those HD Sculpting powder shades that you know you will use.
Cream facial correction is suitable for dry and dehydrated skin, it is more stable than dry skin, many women want to introduce it into everyday use. For this purpose, the FOUNDATION STICK sculpting stick was created. INGLOT has 4 shades for this purpose.
- 118 – for snow-white skin with cool undertones
- 119 – cool sculpting for light to medium skin tones.
- 120 – looks good on skin with a warm almond undertone, and is also ideal for creating a tan effect due to its golden tint.
- 121 – the darkest, suitable for dark girls, or for those who love bright facial correction.
- To highlight light areas on the face, you can use AMC Under eye corrective illuminator 51,52.
- AMC's long-lasting tanning cream for face and body works great as a warm sculptor.
If your skin is prone to oiliness and the durability of your makeup is not always the best, it is better to seal your face contouring with cream products with translucent dry ones.
Face contouring brush
You will need 2-3 brushes. If you use dry textures, give preference to natural brushes. When working with cream correctors, shade the edges with a sponge or brush 01; you can use natural brushes or very soft artificial ones to smooth out contouring.
- A large fluffy brush with soft long bristles (1SS, 25SS, 36BJF) is necessary for applying warm sculptor or bronzer. At this stage of face sculpting there should be no bright spots.
- A medium natural blush brush, preferably angled or oval shaped (3P, 24SS, 38SS). She will apply the sculptor locally and intensely. Apply blush to her.
- A small brush for modeling the nose or eye shape. Flat, tightly padded, natural (27P, 7FS, 5FS)
Step-by-step instructions: How to contour?
Proper facial contouring begins with skin preparation. If you don't use foundation, concealer or concealer powder, contouring your face on bare skin may not look aesthetically pleasing.
Apply skin care, primer, foundation. Mask inflammation, refresh the area around the eyes. If necessary, set the tone with powder. For beginners, facial contouring is easier on lightly powdered skin with dry products.
The above diagram is standard and applicable for contouring an oval face.
- Using the widest fluffy brush, apply the warm sculptor to all raised areas of the face. It should lie wide and translucent. Without clear boundaries, creating a light tan effect.
- Take a small, dense face sculpting brush and deepen the hollows under the cheekbone with a cool shade. Have you noticed how organically a cold sculptor blends into a warm one? Direction of the zygomatic contouring line: from the tragus of the ear to the corner of the lips (narrowing the face) or from the tragus of the ear to the wings of the nose (widening the face). Blend the sculptor horizontally and upward. Also, deepen the temporal sockets. Using a blending eye brush, completely darken the orbital line of the upper eyelid and the crease, bringing the color into the temple. This will help open and enlarge your eyes. If you are the lucky owner of wide-set eyes, apply the sculptor closer to the bridge of your nose. Contouring an elongated face involves active darkening along the hairline and chin. You often want to make such a face a little wider and more voluminous; horizontal directions help with this when applying blush and sculptor. If you want to contour your nose, choose a sculptor shade that is slightly lighter than the main one. The best option visually narrow the nose - apply a thin, dense strip of highlighter along the bridge of the nose. Standard three-stripe shading schemes are not suitable for everyone and depend on many features of the face.
- If you want to enhance your contouring, you don't always have to go darker. Apply the light sculptor to your lower cheekbone and areas of your face that you want to push forward. This will enhance the contrast.
- Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. Avoid blush too close to the wings of your nose, it will look like you sneezed or walked indoors from the cold. But adding blush to the orbital bone (just above the crease) of the upper eyelid can greatly refresh your makeup.
Contouring with blush is only possible if your blush is a neutral shade, like sculptor. Many brands may call face contouring products blushes, powders, or bronzers. It's not the name of the product that matters, but its color on your skin.
Round face contouring
The zygomatic correction is more vertical, tending towards the corners of the lips. This oval face is distinguished by smooth lines; therefore, the correction should also not be very rigid and clear. Do not darken the forehead at the hairline and chin too much. The cheekbone correction can be slightly rounded (to the center of the cheek, aim for the corners of the lips, and then slightly rounded towards the wings of the nose). Combine the zygomatic correction with the temporal correction. Extend the darkening slightly towards the lower jaw. Highlight the area under the eyes and extend the highlight to the corners of the lips (Hollywood triangle), center of the forehead, chin, bridge of the nose. When contouring round face the blush intensity point shifts slightly towards the temples.
Contouring a square face
A square face is characterized by a wide lower jaw and sharp angles. These lines need to be softened. Key points when contouring square face do it on the lower jaw (be sure to shade the sculptor towards the neck) and darken the side surfaces of the forehead. Zygomatic correction should not be very bright. Choose a vertical direction (towards the corners of the lips), but stop in the middle of the cheekbone, without going to the central part of the face. A refreshing blush can be applied a little closer to the nose and lightly on the center of the chin.

Models on the covers of glossy magazines evoke envy because they are considered standards of beauty. But in fact, not many people know that it is facial correction that makes them desirable.
How to choose cosmetics for face sculpting
Correcting the shape of the face lies in the correct foundation under evening make-up. The play of light and shadows helps make the face visually thinner, and the lines of the cheekbones and chin softer. In daylight, sculpting is inappropriate. Thanks to cosmetics, fashionistas create the illusion of a perfectly oval-shaped face, highlight cheekbones and make the nose attractive.
Face sculpting is done using foundations. The main thing is that the highlighters, bronzers or powder palette are of high quality and do not crease after a short period of time.
The choice of cosmetics for facial correction depends on the type of sculpting. There are two of them:
- Dry is used for daytime makeup. Blush, powder and shadows are blended with a brush.
- Oily skin involves the use of thick creams and foundations, which are appropriate to use in the evening. The method requires attention to detail and concentration, as shading the lines incorrectly will lead to failure.
To highlight the curves of your face as naturally as possible, the main thing is to choose the right shades. Cosmetics manufacturers offer users palettes with a choice of colors. With their help you can complete it yourself flawless makeup. The main difficulty remains in careful shading.
- Do not buy palettes that contain red and orange shades. They give the skin an artificial appearance;
- matte products look better on the skin than correctors with shimmer or pearlescent shine;
- the dark corrector in the palette should be 2-3 shades darker than the skin;
- large reflective particles are inappropriate in a highlighter;
- The highlighter should give the skin radiance, so it should be 1-2 shades lighter than the skin.
In professional cosmetic lines you can find special contouring kits. They are expensive, but the quality is completely justified. These sets include 3–8 shades. Light ones eliminate excess shine, and dark ones give a tanning effect. To obtain the desired color, shades can be mixed together. Facial correction products may contain nutritional vitamins and antioxidants (this is written on the packaging).
When choosing a sculpting blush, it is important to remember that applying it completes your makeup. You can overload the look if the texture of the blush is too dense. Matte products – the best choice in perfect makeup.
Advice! Carefully shade all the lines so that the transitions are not visible. The main goal of sculpting is to create ideal natural facial contours. Overloading with cosmetics leads to the effect of a doll mask, which is not welcome.
Step-by-step correction instructions
When shaping the cheekbone line, you need to draw in your cheeks as much as possible. The bronzer is applied below the most prominent line so that the darkest area is near the ear. The cheek remains light. Highlight the area above the cheekbone.
Bronzer is used to darken the hairline, facial contour and double chin (if there is one).
Eyebrows are treated with highlighter on both sides. You can get rid of an overhanging eyelid by highlighting the area above the eyebrow with a thin strip.
The highlighter also brightens the middle of the forehead, the bridge of the nose and the area under the eyes (if there are bruises).
Daytime contouring begins with forehead treatment. The dark corrector is used to highlight the temporal zones and hairline. A light highlighter is applied in a vertical stroke to the center of the forehead. The key area of the face is the cheekbone area. A dark corrector is applied from the ear to the mouth with a brush (on the hollow area formed after the cheeks are drawn in). The bone is treated with powder or a light highlighter.
Evening sculpting is more intense than daytime sculpting and is performed step by step:
- Eyebrow shaping and eye makeup.
- On the area under the eyes, above the cheekbones, upper lip and apply a light concealer between the eyebrows.
- The wings of the nose, temples, cheekbones and the line along the jaw are treated with a layer of dark corrector.
- Contour lines should be shaded with smooth movements, starting with light lines.
- Contouring is secured with transparent mattifying powder and a thin layer of blush.
Advice!Expression wrinkles are visually reduced with the help of a highlighter, which is applied into their depths and carefully shaded.
Color correction according to face shape
You can harmoniously correct your face shape only if you determine it correctly. In total, makeup artists distinguish seven types:
- An oval face is considered the standard of beauty, so its adjustment should be minimal. To do bright accents, you can highlight the center of the face with light, and treat the cheekbone area with a dark corrector.
- An elongated face, similar to a rectangle, needs to soften the corners and make the shape as close as possible to an oval. A wide forehead and jaw lines are corrected with foundation. To widen a narrow face, highlight the cheekbones with blush.
- The square shape is characterized by equal proportions of the length and width of the face. You need to darken the lines under the lower jaw and soften the contours with a dark corrector.
- The round face shape is narrowed by dark tones along the contour. Blush is applied in a triangle pattern.
- Inverted triangle or heart shape needs chin softening in a dark tone. The purpose of sculpting is to balance the upper zone with the lower. In this case, darkening the chin should be done as carefully as possible so as not to make it narrower. The situation is saved by a light highlight of the highlighter.
- The shape of the diamond needs to be corrected in the widest part of the face, going into the temporal zone. The forehead and chin are lightened. Blush is applied in the form of a triangle.
- A trapezoidal or pear-shaped shape should be softened by a narrowing of the lower chin area. The dark corrector is distributed on the sides of the cheekbones and cheeks, and a light accent is added to the forehead. Blush is applied in the form of a triangle.
- For those with too thin and narrow faces, makeup artists recommend applying highlighter with horizontal strokes. Then it will visually expand and look more attractive.
Advice! Before applying bronzer or highlighter, shake off the brush so as not to overdo it with cosmetics.
Hiding the imperfections of a round face
Most often, chubby girls resort to sculpting. The owner does not necessarily have excess weight, but a wide forehead and a weakly defined chin suit few people. Therefore, when color correction it is important to achieve the effect of reducing the cheeks and lengthening the face.
Dark powder is applied to the sides of the cheeks and cheekbones, and the corners of the lower jaw. Blush should be applied in the shape of an inverted triangle, with the tip pointing towards the mouth.
On a wide face, highlighter is applied with vertical strokes. The center of the chin, bridge of the nose, forehead and areas around the eyebrows and eyes are lightened.
To perfectly sculpt a round face, it is important to follow the rules:
- Darken areas that need to be hidden using a dark corrector. It is applied to the cheekbones, nose and facial contour.
- Pay attention to your neck. A face treated with cosmetics looks inharmonious in tandem with a natural neck. A dark corrector will save the situation.
Advice! Darken the wings of the nose and highlight the bridge of the nose to make the nose thin.

Nose processing is a separate stage in face sculpting:
- To narrow your nose, you need to apply a light tone on the back and bridge of the nose, and a dark tone on the wings.
- To visually make the nose smaller, the back and bridge of the nose are treated with a light tone, and the tip of the nose with a dark tone.
- You can hide a large nose using a foundation 0.5 shades darker.
If you learn to treat each zone separately, you will get the perfect face makeup.
Advice! When correcting your face with bronzer or highlighter, before starting the procedure, treat the skin with powder and foundation. To calculate the exact amount of sculpting product, practice on your hand.
