Rectangular
Face: Rectangular shape is long and narrow
with hollow cheeks. There is very little difference
in width between the top, middle or bottom of your
face but it is more rounded than the square face.
Your goal should be to add width and fullness to the
sides of the face and around the eyes, cheekbones
and ears. The basic purpose of make-up skills for
a rectangular face is to minimize the look of fullness
in the forehead, jaw and chin.
Concealer: Using a
cosmetic sponge, apply a cream concealer under the
eyes, blending it all the way out to the cheekbones.
You can also place a bit of concealer in the middle
of your forehead, across your nose and above your
lip.
Foundation: Dab the foundation on the skin
with a sponge, covering the temples, the jaw line
and the chin. Blend the foundation into the sides
of the forehead and the frontal bone of the eye.
Final Touch: Apply
powder below the cheekbone, including the jawbone
and the chin. This helps to soften the look of fullness
in the face. You may also bring the powder right under
the neck. Apply blush from the back of the cheekbone
forward. Stop at the outer corner of the eye. Get
a lighter colour blush and loosely brush the makeup
a little closer into the apple of the cheeks.
