Pear
Face: Pear shaped face has a wide forehead
and a narrow chin line. For a pear-shaped face, the
wide jaw line is the major point of focus. Thin temples
just add to this effect. Through the use of contouring
and softening makeup, you can bring the look of this
face into balance.
Concealer: Place some
cream concealer on a cosmetic sponge and apply it
around the eye, on the nose and in the centre of the
forehead. Stay away from any where in the jaw area.
Foundation: You will
need two shades of foundation, one dark and one light.
Using a cosmetic sponge, dot the darker foundation
along your full jaw line (including the chin) and
in the upper portion of the forehead. Blend. Take
the lighter foundation and apply it to the same areas
that you covered with concealer - under the eye out
to the cheekbones, over the nose, across the temples.
Final Touch: Using
a makeup brush, apply contour powder below the cheekbones
down to the jaw and across the chin. This will help
to further minimize the full jaw line. Applying blush
can be a bit tricky on this shape of face. Apply blush
to the cheekbones. By dividing the face in half in
this manner, the emphasis remains on the cheekbones.
