Triangular Face Make Up
A triangular or hexagonal face is characterized by a broad forehead and a thin, even pointed chin. It is also sometimes said to be a heart-shaped face. Reese Witherspoon, Diana Argon and Kristen Stewart, all three managed to enhance their faces by finding the makeup best suited to their shape. With a few brush strokes, you too can conceal your forehead that is a little too big and your chin that is a little too narrow. A little shadow and a few well-placed touches of light, and your triangular face make up will be very successful.
How to do the complexion of a triangular face?
The problem with triangular faces is that you have to forget the width of the forehead, while giving volume to the chin, without forgetting to soften the angular effect of the features. Contouring is the ultimate weapon to give more roundness to your face and to harmonize its proportions.
The perfect contouring of triangular faces
Contouring will make your features a little more oval by reducing the upper part of your face, while increasing the lower part. The touches of light will serve to give relief, and to draw the eye away from the parts to be camouflaged.
- Shade the sides of the forehead and the temples to reduce the size of the forehead
- Add shade to the tops of the cheeks and the hollows of the cheeks
- The tip of the chin must also be shaded in order to reduce its height
- Illuminate the center of the forehead and the nose from the bridge to the tip
- To balance your lower face, highlight along the jawline
- Blend the shades with your finger or a very clean flat brush
- Apply blush horizontally, from ears to nose
How to do eye makeup on a triangular face?
A triangular shaped face needs to draw the eye towards the center of the face. So to make your forehead and chin blurred, what’s better than highlighting your eyes? Opt for dark colors and makeup that makes your eyes look bigger.
Eyeliner, pencil, and dark eyeshadow will be your assets to attract the eye, and make you forget your forehead. Apply makeup to your upper eyelids, and stretch the material from the outside of the eye towards the temples. Use eyeliner to draw a line that accentuates this effect of grandeur. Do not put makeup on the lower eyelid, otherwise it will make your eyes appear smaller.
On the other hand, you can add a line of white or very light colored pencil in the mucosa. The final touch, a good dose of mascara, separating the eyelashes well to enlarge the eye, without forgetting to also put it on the lower eyelashes.
How to do make up on the lips of a triangular face?
To break the triangular and angular effect of your face, you must add roundness to your lips. Round out the contours of your mouth using a lip liner before applying your lipstick. If you have thin lips, run your pencil a millimeter outside your lips to thicken them a little.
Also think about gloss, which with its shiny effect thickens the lips a little. As you have just focused everything on your eyes, you already have strong eye makeup. So to avoid duplication, choose a lipstick with soft and light shades. If your eyes are lightly made up, then you must make your mouth the point that attracts the eye, and which makes you forget your too pointy chin. Choose a lipstick with bright or strong colors that matches the color of your skin.
