Oman today_ If you have a round face, you probably also have fuller cheeks and a youthful appearance. While we believe all face shapes are beautiful, we understand that playing with your features can be fun. Here are some tips you can use to make your makeup even more attractive.
Opt for Darker Shades: Our first tip for makeup for round faces is to use darker shades. When you want to sculpt your cheekbones and add depth to your face, it’s key to use a high-quality bronzer that is at least two shades darker than your skin tone. Avoid bronzers with red undertones, as these will just make you look muddy; instead, stick to ashy shades with cooler undertones. If you don’t have any bronzer on hand, you can use a darker foundation or BB cream to achieve the same effect. Both the Radiate Beauty Balm and the Day to Night Foundation are ideal for this purpose, as they spread easily and provide a natural look, allowing you to apply them with your fingers, a brush, or a sponge for that sculpted appearance.
Sculpt Your Cheekbones: The second makeup tip for round faces is to sculpt your cheekbones. Whether you’re using foundation, BB cream, or a bronzer like the Bronze Summer Glow Powder, make sure to apply the product with a brush along your cheekbones. The Bronze Summer Glow Powder is especially great for this because it is highly pigmented yet finely milled, allowing you to recreate the appearance of natural structure in the face without it feeling or looking cakey. Shades like East Hampton or Coco Island are excellent choices and should be applied along your cheekbones, spreading slightly wider just before your ears. This will give your round face a more angular appearance. Blend well for a natural finish that lasts all day.
Contour from Hairline to Chin: Another great makeup tip for round faces is to follow the C technique. This means applying bronzer in a letter C shape, starting at your cheekbones and blending up to your hairline and temples. This helps create the illusion of a longer face that is more oval than round. You can also apply bronzer along your jawline for added definition, but be sure to avoid the chin. Applying contour to the chin can make your face look smaller and rounder, so instead, focus on adding definition to the jawline and edges of your face.
Place Your Highlight Slightly Higher: The last tip for makeup on round faces is to place your highlight slightly higher. To further emphasize your sculpted look, try placing your highlight a bit higher on your face than you usually would. Use a product like the Highlight HD Palette and a fluffy brush to dust a little above your cheekbones. The shimmering pre-baked pearl formula will help elongate the appearance of your face. You can also apply a bit under your lower lip, on your chin, and along the bridge of your nose to trick the eye into thinking your complexion is more oval than round.
This is the complete list of our tips for makeup on round faces. Now, you’re ready to shape, sculpt, and define your features whenever you want. Whichever technique you choose, remember that defined features are beautiful, but your full cheeks are lovely too.
