• Round - fuller than other shapes; no definition; no hint of cheekbone.
• Long - usually narrow with a long jaw.
• Square - a full jawline (more horizontal than diagonal); broad or high forehead; equal width at temples and jaw.
• Oval - well-balanced top to bottom; clearly defined cheekbones; diagonal jawline.

How can you make a round face look slimmer?

• Keep the concentration of eyeshadow between the inner corner and the center of your eye.
• Blend out and up toward the outer edges of your forehead.
• Brush on blush in a diagonal line, from under your cheekbone up to the tip of your ear.
• Wear hair softly feathered at sides and brushed forward onto cheeks.

• Apply blush in a soft arc; from middle of cheekbone around and up into hairline.
• Keep brows naturally arched.
• Wear hair full, in a chin-length bob and curled under.
• Emphasize lips with color, as this will bring attention to the center of your face.
• To make a square face look rounder and softer, brush on a triangle of eyeshadow from middle of eye to far outer corner; blend toward forehead corners.

Make-Up Tips for All

• Put on sunblock when you go outdoors - on face, hands, and arms (where skin ages faster).
• Always keep to a fine point your make-up pencils.
• When applying mascara to bottom lashes, hold a tissue under the eye for a no-smudge finish.
• For an even application of liquid liner, tilt your head back slightly, hold your eye half-open, then smooth the lid slightly, gently, and run brush as close as possible to lashline.
