Here I will show you where you have to highlight, shade and add blusher.  You may not always need blusher, if you have lovely pink cheeks or highly vascular, you may not want to add anymore colour.

The easiest way to know what face shape you are if you are having problems is to get a mirror that is larger than your face size.  Confused...don't worry this really works.  Get a liner and draw and oval shape on the mirror, yes on the mirror, make sure that it is head size though.  Now look into the mirror and put your face in the oval.  Look at what is either in or out side the oval and this will help you!  You shade the areas outside the oval and highlight the areas that are missing. 

Should you be having a problem then send me a photo of yourself and I will tell you what face shape you are.  Please make sure that I can see all of your face not a side view!

OVAL SHAPED FACE:                                         

Here is the perfect face shape, or so we are told.   All that is needed for this face shape is some blusher.

LONG SHAPED FACE:

With the long face shape it takes a little longer than the oval.  But do not fret, once you have the hang of it you will be doing all of it in no time at all.  If your face is long, you could also get a darker shade of foundation and do the forehead and the chin in this shade.  Make sure that you don't use a darker shade that is going to stand out, you are trying to make the face look shorter, not bee coloured. Blend the foundation really well with your natural colour.  Now for highlighting, you want to highlight either side of cheeks, blush on the cheek bones and shade the chin and the forehead.  As in the picture above.

DIAMOND SHAPED FACE:

Blusher will go along the cheek bone as before, but keep it light as this will only emphasise the diamond shape. This time you will highlight either side of the forehead and the lower cheeks.  Then shade the chin.  This will draw the chin upwards changing the shape of the face. 

PEAR SHAPED FACE:

Again blusher as normal.  Highlight either side of the forehead, this will bring the forehead outwards a little, then highlight the chin.  Shade either side of the jawbone, thus bringing the look of the face inwards.

ROUNDED FACE SHAPE:

With a rounded face shape, you  can use a darker foundation on the lower outer side of the face, thus giving a slimming effect.  Highlight the chin to lengthen the face.   Blusher as normal.

HEART SHAPED FACE:

Heart shaped means that you have a wider forehead, which narrows to a point at the chin.  Shade the chin to bring the length of the face upwards.  Highlight both sides of the jawbone to fill the jawbone out.

SQUARE SHAPED FACE:

Shade the angle of the jawbone and side of the forehead, this will give the look of bringing the face inwards, highlight the sides of the cheekbone.  Blush as normal.

Once you have mastered the corrective face shaping you would then go on to apply the rest of your make-up.  I do hope that you find this easy to follow, if you are still unsure then drop me a line and I will help you out.
