Your face shape & why it's important..

So I spent ages deliberating over what my FIRST proper beauty post should be about & I decided that as I intend to post make-up tips and tricks, I should start from the beginning and look at face shapes!

It's pretty straight forward really and the best way to determine your own shape is to grab a lipstick and draw around the outline of your face with a lipstick. The most common face shapes can be seen below and are a good reference to have when identifying your own.

Okay so if you've read this far you're probably wondering WHY you need to know your faces shape.. Because your face shape can determine which hairstyles will suit you, which glasses will suit you and from my point of view, the most important point which is where you should place make up! By make up I specifically mean shaders and highlighters which enable you to disguise areas you don't like and bring forward the parts you do!

There is various research out there on the world wide web which states that OVAL face shapes are the most 'desirable' but personally I think you should work what you've got! Once you've got your face shape identified check out the specific tips in my next few posts.

Happy drawing folks!
