Part of getting my MUA (Make Up Artist) Certification through SeneGence International involves determining face shapes and knowing how to adjust makeup placement accordingly. My biggest struggle has always been determining which type of face shape a person has, but I found this super helpful cheat sheet to use as a guide.
This glam session featured Mandy and her beautiful heart shape face. My task was to contour this face shape, but we ended up doing more bronzing using our Bronze Translucid Powder instead of full on contour.
A heart face shape means that your chin is narrow and pointed and your cheeks are narrower than your hairline. You may also in most cases have a widow’s peak.
CONTOUR the HEART SHAPED FACE
- Along the sides of the forehead and temples to balance out the wider upper half of your face with the narrower lower half
- On the lower chin to bring up the point
- Under your eyes in an upside-down triangle shape
- In the middle of your forehead and chin to widen these parts
We finished off the look with semi-smokey eye, winged liner and cut crease. Full make up details below:
