Square Face Make Up
Square faces have the particularity of having visible bone structure, particularly at the forehead and jaw. Although some women find that their face lacks femininity, others have coped with it wonderfully. Celebrities like Katie Holmes, Angelina Joli and Hilary Swank, to name a few, have square faces. But that doesn’t mean they have masculine features. Their secret? Makeup adapted to the shape of their face, which literally rounds the corners. Let’s round up all the tips and tricks to achieve a successful square face make up.
How to make up the complexion of a square face?
To harmonize a square face, you must give it roundness by softening the angular parts. To do this, you will use the contouring technique to bring verticality to your face, and to erase the angles.
Perfect contouring for square faces
Contouring should give the impression that your face is more elongated, and above all much softer. For square faces, it is the shadow areas that will be particularly worked on. The center of the face will be highlighted to provide verticality.
- Apply dark foundation to shade the corners of the forehead
- Shade the hollows of the cheeks to bring out the cheekbones (apply it from the ears towards the nose)
- Soften the strong part of your jaw by shading it in turn (stop before the chin)
- To add verticality, highlight your forehead and chin using light foundation
- Apply a little blush to the cheekbones in a circular motion
- Mix the materials with your finger or a flat brush to avoid harsh lines.
To add even more softness and femininity to your face, pluck your eyebrows in a rounded manner. Angular or straight eyebrows tend to harden the face, so they are shapes that women with square faces should avoid as much as possible.
How to do eye makeup on a square face?
A seductive asset, the eyes need to be highlighted by perfect makeup. For square faces, softness is essential. Eyeshadows in discreet colors will be most suitable. Play with the lights by making a gradient. The light color for the inner corner of the eye, and the dark color for the outer corner and the banana.
In terms of color, opt for light and soft tones that do not harden the look. Brown eyes will find their spark in copper tones, green eyes in warm tones (for dark skin), or in cool tones (for fair skin), and finally, blue eyes in warm tones.
Accentuate your eyes with an eyeliner. To have doe eyes and a glamorous look, don’t hesitate to stretch the line outside the eye, towards the temples.
The essential mascara should be applied generously, lifting the eyelashes well. If you prefer a discreet make-up, then a simple eyeliner accompanied by a double coat of mascara will have the most beautiful effect. For a touch of fantasy, treat yourself with colored eyeliners.
How to do make up on the lips of a square face?
The mouth of a square face needs softness and roundness. To make it more feminine, redraw the curves of your lips with a lip pencil before applying makeup.
Choose your lipstick color based on your skin tone and eye makeup. If you’ve put a lot of makeup on your eyes, keep your mouth discreet. If you have light makeup on your eyes, then you can choose a lipstick of a deeper color.
Fair skin tones will be more likely to go for beige, pink tones and deep reds. Dark skin tones can wear the color of their choice. To avoid reinforcing their strict features, square faces should, however, avoid lipsticks of too bright colors.
