Where have I been?

Welcome Back to my blog!

As you can all tell its been 2 months since I have written a blog post but I have a reasonable explanation for it. This post is going to be relatively short so it wont take a bunch of time to comprehend. Basically my exams to get into college start on Wednesday (yawn) and I have been flat out studying. I need a heap load of points (around 400) to get my course and i am stressing to say the least. Since my last post ive gone through 2 orals, and 3 exams going towards parts of my leaving cert. My exams are spread out nicely so I should be back writing more frequently in about a week or two! Thank you for your patience! 

Thanks for reading!

How To Contour&Highlight For Your Own Face Shape.

How To Contour&Highlight For Your Own Face Shape.

Welcome Back to my blog!

Its been almost a month since my last post which i'm very sorry about! I've legit just been so sick and haven't got round to writing up something but i've finally got the chance to! I hope that this helps for the people that struggle with contour&highlighting or feel that the way that they're doing it isn't making a difference for them. If you want to know how to contour for your own face shape then continue reading below! 

Before you start your highlighting and contouring, you need to figure out your face shape.  To determine your face shape,  pull all of your hair back tightly (just throw it in a pony) and look at your features. A measuring tape may be used to measure the length and width of the face for a more precise determination.

OVAL: Oval-shaped faces have a length equal to 1.5 times the width of the face, with forehead and jaw equal widths. Celebrity example: Blake Lively.
RECTANGULAR: Rectangular faces are longer than the width of the face and have strong angles on the forehead and at the jawline. Celebrity example: Ed Westwick
ROUND: Round faces are as wide as they are long, but with rounded edges. (duh) Celebrity example: Emma Stone 
HEART-SHAPED: Heart-shaped faces have the most width at the cheek, eye, and forehead areas, with a narrow to pointy chin.  Sometimes they will also have a larger forehead. Celebrity example: Scarlett Johansson
OBLONG: Oblong faces are as long as it is wide.  Celebrity example: Angelina Jolie
DIAMOND-SHAPED: Diamond-shaped faces are characterized by a narrow forehead and a narrow chin with the widest point at the cheeks. Celebrity example: Reese Witherspoon
TRIANGULAR (and INVERTED TRIANGULAR): Triangular faces are wide at the forehead and narrowest at the jawline; inverted triangular faces are widest at the jawline and narrowest at the forehead.Celebrity example: Tyra Banks.

If you're still confused about your face shape you can try work it out with the chart below.

Once you've figured this out you can move onto the highlight/contouring process.
