Makeup can be an incredibly fun and exciting way to enhance your features, especially for beginners! It can particularly become overwhelming when there are all these face shapes and don’t know how to cater to yours. You’re in the right place to learn ALL about square face makeup. In this blog post, you will learn the BEST makeup tricks for a contoured and defined look!
Let’s Start Off With What Makes A Square Face…
Square faces are very interesting because they have unique characteristics. First off, the forehead and jawline are identical in width. The forehead can be flat and wide, while your jawline is defined and pronounced. The chin can be square-shaped, and angular. Lastly, the cheekbones might be less prominent compared to your jawline.
Avoid Harsh Eye Makeup
First up, avoid sharp eye makeup! This causes your face to look more angular. Instead, turn to softer and rounder eyeshadow. This will help with making your face look less angular. The contrast with round and angular looks really good.
Don’t be afraid to play around with smokey eyes or falsies too. In order to find what suits you it’s important to experiment! Either of those will attract attention to your eyes as well.
Contour For A Natural Look
Contour is especially useful for those with angular faces! The reason why is that it helps with softening the angels, forming a smoother appearance. To do so apply along the forehead, temples, and jawline. Always make sure the contour is 1-2 shades darker than your skin tone and is cool-toned.
For those of you that want your cheekbones to appear higher apply on the hollows of your cheeks.
Lift Blush UP
Blush is such a useful product, but especially for those with square faces! To extenuate your features apply blush along the cheekbone. You will end up with a lifted look. I love doing this and it looks outstanding!
Also, be light on blush, don’t apply too much
Focus on the lips
Using bright colors on your lips will help distract from your face’s sharp angles. This is a great time for you to play around with different bold shades. Also, switching to a bold lip can completely change your look.
You can have a bright lip or bold eyeshadow, one rather than both looks best!
Blend
Don’t forget to blend! Blend! Blend! It’s especially important for those with square faces to blend everything in for a flawless finish. Because you already have all the angles it’s important to blend for a natural look.
Brows
Natural rounder brows look AMAZING on square faces. Why? The reason why is that it helps with balancing the face out. The shape should be a natural soft arch.
Highlighter
Lastly, highlighter is a square faces best friend! Apply highlighter on the high points of your face to being attention there. A few places you can apply are brow bone, above cheekbones, and the bridge of your nose.
If you have a square face shape, don’t try to hide it with makeup! Instead, embrace your striking features and use makeup to enhance your natural beauty. Use a bold lip or dress up your eyes with a smokey eyeshadow. Do not be afraid to experiment with different styles and methods until you find what works best for you!
