Any makeup is a work of art.
There is not a single woman who would be completely satisfied with her appearance; even ideal beauties will find something to complain about when looking in the mirror. Wrong nose shape, wrong eye shape, wrong face shape...
So, today I will tell you, dear gossips, how they disguise problematic skin professionals, as well as how to correctly correct the shape of the face and visually give it the ideal outline.
Perhaps this will help some of you solve one of your important problems or will be useful in the future.
Primer
Primer is a base for makeup. It is designed to make makeup more durable. The application of foundation will be more subtle and natural. Primers even out the surface of the face and are generally an irreplaceable thing. Any primer is designed to visually minimize pores, hide fine lines, and mattify.
The base can be colorless or colored, mattify or, conversely, moisturize the skin, neutralize its shade, lighten the skin tone or, conversely, give it a more tanned appearance. On her foundation It applies better, but some bases can be used independently without tone - in the absence of obvious skin defects.
Example of color bases:
Primer or base is not a foundation. Confusion arose due to the original name on English language. In English, both base and foundation mean “foundation, basis, basis.” But if the tube says Foundation, that means it’s a foundation, and if it says Primer, then it’s a base.
In short, if a foreign name contains two words at once, then what kind of product it is - the latter will speak. For example: Guerlain - Meteorites Perles Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer - this is a PRIMER, a makeup base. And if the name is: Guerlain - Lingerie de Peau Invisible Skin-Fusion Foundation - then we have a foundation.
About correctors (concealers and making the right choice colors)
Unfortunately, a cream called “Photoshop” has not yet appeared on the market so that we can sculpt any face we want. On the other hand, if such a cream existed, then the same people would walk the streets. Nature has created us completely different, and what we have is worth appreciating and embellishing. And cosmetic companies are trying so hard for this!
But they still exist magic remedies- proofreaders.
They are different types: base correctors (primers, applied to the entire face, described above), cream correctors (applied to problem areas of the skin), pencil correctors, and so on. I will not recommend any particular brand; similar products can be found in any store with a wide selection of cosmetics.
Proofreaders have different colors, and each color works with a specific problem. Allergies, pigmentation, overtanning, thin skin or capillaries located close to the surface, even bruises - all this can be hidden with the help of correctors.
Now about the flowers.
White The color of the corrector is used to lighten dark areas of the skin or to disguise freckles. However, it must be used with caution, and it is only suitable for very fair skin, or to sculpt the shape of the face to emphasize convexities.
Purple pink corrector color (lavender) - copes with yellowness and greenness. Used for skin types with unhealthy yellow tint. Also suitable for hiding bruises that are already passing (for example, after plastic surgery when the bruise already leaves a dark yellow spot)
Violet(with a blue tint) - hides large pigment spots or unsuccessful self-tanning.
Green corrector - neutralizes redness. For rashes, allergies, acne scars, and any redness, a greenish corrector will cope.
Pink corrector. It is used for any skin tone. It can cover dark (blue) circles under the eyes, it masks veins, and covers wrinkles and age spots well.
You should also remember that for artificial lighting you should choose a foundation with a pink undertone.
Apricot corrector - (which contains more red) - refreshes aging skin, as well as skin without blush with a grayish undertone. Evens out olive (painful) skin color and gives it vibrancy if used under foundation.
Orange corrector (bright yellow) - masks very noticeable bruises or circles under the eyes, even very dark ones, which are found in dark-skinned girls.
Yellow- disguises purple: dark circles, circles, bruises. Gives the skin warm shade, if necessary. One thing to remember is that if you want to look brilliant in sunlight and natural light, you should choose foundations that are warm in tone, golden or yellowish.
Beige The corrector helps revitalize skin tone and even out color. Or it covers the residual effects after some problems on the skin. When covering up a bruise, cover first the right shade, and then masked with beige.
Blue corrector - neutralizes heavy tanning.
How to use the corrector?
Naturally, out of necessity, if there really is a SERIOUS problem that needs to be hidden.
The main thing is to shade it well. In general, the main thing in makeup is to shade EVERYTHING well.
Apply with a finger or a brush, depending on the structure of the product. On or under foundation - whatever suits you.
About concealers.
Concealers are designed to remove dark circles under the eyes; they may not cope with other more serious skin imperfections.
To disguise dark circles under the eyes or spider veins, it is better to use concealers of yellowish shades.
Important: the concealer should be much lighter shade your skin or foundation.
They are also used to highlight certain areas of the skin, as some concealers contain reflective particles.
How to apply?
The concealer is applied with gentle movements and carefully shaded so that the boundaries of application are not noticeable. As a rule, on foundation (if you use it).
If the concealer is used as a concealer or as a corrector of some skin imperfections, then it should be applied with patting movements to the foundation, lightly powdering this area on top, and you will be happy.
Correction according to the shape of the face.
Face correction using any corrective means convenient for you (for example, creamy or powdery correctors of light and dark shades) always occurs according to the classical scheme:
Although experimenting with cosmetics is always interesting. You can also use these:
And most importantly - shade!!!
However, to achieve the perfect result, you need to consider your face shape. Simple rules They will tell you exactly how best to correct your specific face in order to emphasize your strengths and eliminate your shortcomings.
Round face correction consists in visually lengthening it and changing the contour of the cheeks. To do this, you should darken the sides of the face (temples, cheeks and jaw) with blush. natural color with a brownish tint or any other corrector (do not forget that the transition between light and dark colors should be smooth, therefore, any cosmetical tools should be thoroughly shaded), making the color most saturated at the chin, this will help give the face an oval shape.

- At triangular shape face and heart-shaped features are the application of a dark corrector in the forehead area. The protruding parts of the “heart” and the corners of the inverted triangle need to be darkened more actively, blending the product from the center of the forehead near the line where the hair grows, downwards.

So, what is contouring or what is it also called sculpting? It is nothing more than using light and dark powder, foundation, bronzer or highlighter on certain parts of the face to create a visual illusion. At the same time, we darken those parts that we want to make invisible, and we highlight those parts of the face that should, on the contrary, stand out.

But before you go to cosmetic store With a list of necessary tools, you should first determine the features and shape of the face. There are 6 types:
- Oval - the face gently tapers, resembling the indicated geometric figure, cheekbones protrude, forehead wider than chin.
- Narrow – the face is long, the jawline and cheekbones are the same in length.

However this technique makeup is actively gaining popularity, and in stores you can buy ready-made palettes for contouring the face with all the necessary accessories.
You can choose tones cream products or dry powder products. It all depends on your own preferences and skin characteristics. Of course, foundations will suit a dry face, while oily skin will appreciate powder. I would like to note that dry products are much more convenient to apply. That is why they are more often found in ready-made facial contouring kits.
IN Lately Concealers have become very popular - these are tonal corrective products presented in the form of a convenient pencil for contouring the face. Thanks to its denser texture than cream, this foundation can be blended quickly and evenly with your fingers. It is usually used to camouflage imperfections, which is why it is used in sculpting makeup.

Today you can even buy professional brushes in the store, made of high-quality materials and characterized by durability. They will please perfect application, softness and absence of protruding bristles. However, the cost of such a set will be impressive. I recommend that you purchase several flat brushes and one angled brush. Whether they are natural or synthetic – in principle, it doesn’t matter, because everything depends on individual capabilities.
Give me a list
To avoid confusion, here is a list of what you need to contour your face:
- flat blush brushes;
- angled brush for facial contouring;
- sponges;
- foundation;
- concealer (instead of a palette, you can use powder several shades darker, eye shadow and bronzer);
- highlighter (highlighting powder);
- blush.

What is a highlighter? This special remedy, which has reflective properties, but can be presented as a regular light powder. By the way, when purchasing, choose only matte products, without glitter or reflective particles.
What color suits me
Cosmetics for facial contouring perform the function of natural makeup, and accordingly should be practically invisible. Ideally, you should get the impression that the emphasized cheekbones and shaded areas are a natural play of light. That's why Special attention is given color scheme:
- pale skin suits cool and gray tones;
- soft tanned skin will look harmonious with brown shades;
- tanned or dark skin looks impressive using bronzers.
Remember that it is better not to use foundations and face contouring powders with glitter at all! These tools are more suitable for holidays and theatrical performances, but for practical daily use they are inconvenient. You don’t want your skin to glow in the sun, like Edward Cullen from the famous film, let’s not point a finger at which one?
First steps
So, after purchasing everything you need, let’s get to the fun part:
- On an oval face, we mask imperfections under the eyes with concealers and foundation, and then slightly correct the shape of the nose or chin.
- For narrow face darken the top of the forehead and the bottom of the chin using horizontal shading. It is important to carefully round the chin.
- A round face will have to try to narrow and sharpen it a little. To do this, we darken the corners of the forehead, cheekbones and jaw.
- When correcting a triangular face, we darken the temples as much as possible to give the image softness. We also darken and round the chin.
- We try to give a square face oval shape. To do this, we pay special attention to the jaws, corners of the forehead and hollows of the cheekbones.
- A pear-shaped face will require darkening only the lower part. This is necessary in order to reduce attention to the massive jaw.
That's all the basic rules for contouring. I will only note that it is important to try to make smooth transitions so that the lines are practically invisible, and the tones harmoniously complement each other. For convenience, you should start with light colors, and be sure to use quality products for facial contouring. It will be difficult to achieve this on the first try, but since you and I are distinguished by amazing perseverance on the path to beauty, we will definitely achieve the desired result on the second or third try!

Rules for contouring depending on face shape
Depending on the shape of the face, contouring occurs according to different rules Before starting the procedure, you need to determine what type of person you are. This will help you with step-by-step instructions for contouring your face for a specific shape (with photos).
Heart-shaped type. For this type, the top of the oval looks larger than the chin, so it is necessary to darken the temples with bronzer.
This way you can even out the shape. Contouring with dark tones in the lower area is not allowed, as this can shift the balance of the oval.
In order to lengthen the nose, you need to apply bronzer on its sides. Then you can soften the angularity, and to make the nose a little raised, you need to apply bronzer under its tip.
After working with the bronzer, take the highlighter and apply it along the nose line, under the eyes and chin.
It is better to leave the forehead unchanged, since the highlighter can whiten the upper part of the face too much, as if making it heavier. Blend everything well so that there are no rough transitions.
Contouring finished with blush. Apply blush on top of the bronzer with a slight tilt towards the chin to preserve the natural lines of the oval.
Square shape. When working with such a face, it is necessary soften the chin. Apply a dark color to the temples, on the forehead at the root zone of the hair.
Then, starting from the middle of the ear, walk along the cheekbones, but do not touch the chin. The nose needs to be enlarged, as it were.
The next stage of contouring is highlighter. Highlight the middle of the forehead, chin, and areas under the eyes. But so that the face remains natural, Don't apply too much highlighter.
Blush should be applied from the edge of the cheekbone down to the nose until it crosses the point where the eye begins. This method of applying blush will add square face rounded line.
Oval type. Owners of this type need to concentrate on reducing or increasing the desired area of the oval.
They usually have a dominant nose, so bronzer is applied to half the bridge of the nose and the sides.
You need to darken your cheekbones above the corners of your mouth, creating a triangle.
Thus, the “horse effect” can be excluded. For visual expansion of the face, highlighter is applied above the lip(minimal application) and on the chin.
The forehead also needs to be minimally bleached. Blush is applied with clear movements from the wings of the nose to the top of the ear.
Triangular shape. Since the chin is the narrowest area, it is necessary to darken it to balance the entire oval. You should also apply bronzer to your forehead according to your hair growth.
This will reduce its width, but the eyes, on the contrary, do not need to be darkened, because with such an oval they are already very noticeable.
Necessarily whiten the wings of the nose with highlighter, the area under the eyes with a continuation of the line under the nose.
Lighten the eyebrows and chin a little. Apply a light blush around the cheekbones.
Important to remember!
Before starting the procedure, you need to determine what type of person you are.
Extended type. The correction occurs by darkening the lower part of the chin, the area from temple to temple along the hairline. Such a dark edging will slightly expand and also bring the face into proportion. It is also necessary Apply bronzer to eye areas to look away from the chin and forehead.
Slightly darken the cheekbones and nose so as not to prolong it. Apply highlighter minimally only in the area under the eyes, between the eyebrows, and also on the bridge of the nose. To shorten your chin a little, draw a lightening line under the lip along the entire width.
You should not overdo it with highlighter, as you can lengthen the oval even more significantly. The goal is to balance the appearance. Blush should be applied with a wide line towards the nose.
Round shape . When contouring this type, you need to darken large areas with bronzer. In this case, it is important to highlight in a dark tone cheeks, without touching the forehead and chin, this will visually narrow the appearance.
Then use highlighter to draw a line along the entire bridge of the nose from the middle of the forehead, lighten the top of the cheeks, and make a triangle on the chin.
This contouring will give a slightly longer appearance. Apply minimal blush just above the cheekbones, in some cases you can refuse to apply blush.
Depending on the specific type and shape of appearance, professional cosmetologists Perform individual facial contouring in each case. Step-by-step instructions with photographs for home make-up will help you create an error-free make-up and decide on the choice of shades.
1. Categorically Do not use liquid foundations and loose powders . Since the result will be clear boundaries of shades that cannot be shaded;
