Rectangular Face? Advice to Make You Look Stunning!

If you have a squarish chin together with a long and narrow face then you have a rectangular shaped face. If there is little difference in width between the top, middle and bottom of your face and your face is more rounded than square then this also points to having a rectangular face. By skillful use of make-up and by choosing the right hairstyle for you, you will be able to give the illusion of a shorter and wider face as well as a softer jawline.

Make-up for a rectangular face should be aimed primarily at adding width and fullness to the sides of your face and around your eyes and cheeks. Also, to minimize the fuller look of your forehead, basic make-up skills can be employed by adding some blusher near your hairline. To do this use horizontal lines by emphasizing your eyebrows, cheeks and lips. For your eyebrows, use a sharp brow pencil to slightly extend the outer ends of your brows and for your cheeks add blusher just below your cheekbones by following the line of your cheekbones. For fuller lips make sure that you line them carefully to keep them looking natural. Any eye shadow that you apply should be in the correct color tone for you and you should layer these toning colors horizontally working outwards from the center of your eye.

Hairstyles for your face shape should aim to give the impression that your face is rounder than it actually is. A softly layered style will add fullness near your ears and a fringe will also help to make your face appear shorter. You must avoid long, straight styles at all costs.

When choosing earrings, apply the same rules as you do to choosing your hairstyle. In other words, avoid long earring designs and opt instead for curvier shapes. Glasses or sunglasses should have a wide frame and be lightweight and you should avoid any angular frames since these will emphasize not detract from your face shape.

If you are still unsure about how to apply the right make-up and which shades will flatter you most or if you need advice on hairstyles that will complement your face shape best you can always consider obtaining the assistance of an image consultant.
