Do you find that your face is too round, that your jawline is too pronounced or your forehead is too pronounced? Do you want to erase the volumes of your face? No problem, there are a few techniques to allow you to temporarily modify the volumes of your face without going through the scalpel box. A nice haircut can help you redefine the lines and volumes of your face. Depending on the length, the gradient of your haircut, your face can look totally changed. To soften a face that is too round, it is best to adopt a hairstyle that highlights the chin. Thus, haircuts whose length stops at the chin or whose gradient is at the level of the chin will be perfect. A jaw that is a little too pronounced can be erased by a voluminous haircut. Why not opt for pretty curls or a long layer that starts from the jawline? If you think your chin is a little too prominent, you can tone down its volume with a hairstyle that highlights another part of your face. A wick or a fringe are very good illusion. The latter are, however, not recommended for faces with a strong nose. The bangs and the wick on the side tend to highlight it.
Besides hair, makeup can artificially alter the curves of your face. One of the most spectacular techniques in this area is the contouring method. Contouring is a makeup technique for professionals. It was originally used in the entertainment world. However, a more "light" version of this technique can help you sculpt the volumes of your face. Contouring make-up plays on the shadows and points of light on the face. To achieve these effects, it is necessary to have in your makeup bag a light base (to illuminate) and a dark base (to darken). The dark base should be a tone above your skin tone; the light shade, a tone below. Compact powders or fluid foundations work very well. Then you just have to shade the features that are a little too voluminous on your face. Areas to shade are usually the areas on the outside of the face such as the temples, chin or jawbones. The areas to illuminate are those located in the middle of the face:bridge of the nose, cheekbones, etc. For example, if you want to give the illusion that your nose is longer and thinner, put a little dark powder on the sides of your nose and a little light powder on the bridge. For a natural effect, work both products well so that they blend perfectly with your complexion.
