Square face: features of the selection of hairstyles, accessories and application of decorative cosmetics

The most harmonious is the oval face shape. However, not all of us nature rewarded her. Let's try to figure out how to hide the flaws and emphasize the advantages of a square face.

The square face usually has approximately the same width in the middle of the forehead, eyes and jaw. In other words, the narrowing of the face from the forehead to the chin is minimal. A characteristic feature of this type is a heavy, massive chin. The forehead is not too high, in width it is almost the same as the chin.

It is believed that the most attractive and harmonious type is an oval face, so all other types of stylists tend to bring him closer. If we talk about the shape of the square, it is necessary to visually stretch it and smooth the lower part.

Determine the shape of the face can be visually, carefully examining it in the mirror. It is better to do this with the collected hair. You can take a pencil and circle the face shape reflected in the mirror. Looking at the "pattern", in most cases you can understand what kind of geometric shape the face resembles.

Changing the oval of the face with the help of makeup implies darkening of all the protruding "corners" - in the forehead and jaw, as well as the lower part of the cheekbones.

The visual correction begins with the application of a tonal base, let's consider step by step the features of its application. This will require 2 types of tonal means - one in tune to your skin tone, the second - a tone darker.

1. Using a brush or sponge, apply a tonal base on your face so that it forms an oval. Well shade cosmetics.
2. Now on the remaining ("sharp" and massive) parts of a darker composition is applied.
3. Borders between light and dark areas should be indistinguishable, so they are carefully shaded.

A wide nose can be made more elegant by following all the same technology. Contouring begins with the wings of the nose and nose bridge, where a darker “tonalka” is applied. The rest is covered with a skin tone.

Hide all transitions tones allow powder of the same shade as your skin. Apply it with a sponge over the entire face. After that, proceed to the imposition of blush. Sculpting the cheekbone area involves highlighting their upper part and darkening the area under the cheekbones.

Blush is applied in the form of a beveled rectangle from the cheekbones to the temples. Do not lead the brush with rouge from the area of ​​the earlobe to the cheekbones, the face will become even more “square”. Highlight cheekbones can be peach or brown blush, avoid overly transparent, pink and shining blush.

The make-up of a square face implies the selection of its central part, therefore in the area of ​​the back of the nose, on the protruding parts of the cheekbones (almost under the eyes), a highlighter can be applied. More specifically, the points of its imposition can be said only on the basis of the features of the exterior.

In general, eyebrows and eye makeup should be given great attention, because, being bright and expressive, they become the visual center of the face, distracting attention from the chin and angularity.

Ideal arrows for the "square" - tending to the eyebrows, noticeably raised. Avoid horizontal arrows, do not be afraid of bold arrows a la cat's eye, beyond the century. Such arrows will make larger and more expressive small or narrow eyes.

For the evening exit, choose black arrows, for daytime, more sober colors. For girls with green eyes, you can recommend gray arrows, for blue-eyed and brown-eyed - different shades of brown.

The choice of shadows and their hue depend on the color of the eyes, the depth of their fit, shape. Complete eye makeup should be applied mascara on the eyelashes. Stylists recommend applying 2-3 layers of mascara on the upper lashes, while the lower ones are only slightly emphasized in the corners.

If the emphasis in the makeup is placed on the eyes, lips, you can simply moisturize or apply lipstick soothing shades without excessive gloss. When lip makeup should be remembered that focusing on them, you involuntarily chain eyes and to the chin. Of course, you can highlight the lips, but only if the correct contouring of the face.

For this type, suitable hats that give a soft volume in the area of ​​the crown and have a soft, better rounded shape. For several seasons, women's hats worn at the crown are models in fashion with pompoms. This is also a great option for square face correction.

In the warmer months, you can choose small hats that are worn, moving at the top of the head or several to the side. A hat for women of this type of appearance can have a high crown or wide fields, the main thing is that the latter should form soft curves.

Berets will be suitable (they should be worn, shifted to the side or shifted to the crown), caps with a short visor. In the winter cold, you can wear a hat with earflaps, drooping ears. Optimally, if it is decorated with fur - and warm, and hides the protruding parts of the face. Hats with large patterns or decor, as well as models that tightly fit the head are undesirable.

To stretch the upper part and draw attention away from a heavy chin, haircuts should be selected with a volume at the crown and at the top of the head. Successfully look graded and cascading haircuts, curls. It should abandon even bangs. It is better to do completely without it or choose oblique, torn bangs.

As for short haircuts, it is also important to achieve volume in the upper part. The best for a square face type would be a bob, pixie, garson. Lush styling, asymmetry, graded strands allow you to make the face more oval.

In the case of a square face, haircuts and hairstyles should be selected in such a way that it is bordered with curls or curvy strands. You should refuse the following type of haircuts:

• haircuts for a boy with a small amount of hair that opens the face and emphasizes the contours;
• symmetrical styling - even bangs, straight partitions, which also make the face heavier;
• haircuts with length of hair to the chin, as well as volume in the area of ​​the cheekbones, chin - they focus on the already wide lower part of the face;
• smoothly combed back hair, horse tails, bunches — in a word, all hairstyles that remove strands from the face.

The most suitable hairstyles for owners of this type are the following:

• Natural curls and waveswhich hide the excessive massiveness of the face and "pull" it. As for the length, it should be the hair of medium length or slightly lower, in no case - a square, ending at the level of the chin.

• Straight long hair better to add volume with cascading and graded haircuts.In this case, the shortest strand in such hairstyles should be below the level of the chin. With such haircuts, the asymmetrical bangs and highlighting look good.

• The best option would be the bob on medium hair is just below the chin, about shoulder length. Haircut will hide all the “angularity” of the face, and the pomp on the top of the head will make its shape more elongated. If desired, such a bean can curl, getting large waves.

• If we talk about short haircuts, then this bob and pixie with asymmetric styling and a length of torn bangs.

With the help of accessories you can also make the contour smoother and more gentle. It is, of course, primarily about those accessories that are located near or on the face - glasses, earrings, jewelry for hair or neck. The main rule here is to avoid deliberate rudeness, square and rectangular shapes.

On the square face are not allowed glasses of strict geometric shapes. Square and rectangular, as well as narrow glasses will make the chin even more difficult. Preference should be given to elongated lenses - ovals, "aviators", small "cat" glasses with slightly elevated outer corners of the glasses.

Do not wear glasses with a wide jumper on the nose. She, like the arms with rim, should be thin, elegant. Sunglasses will be extended with a soft transition from dark to brighter glass, as well as products in which glass and frames have a contrasting combination.

Choose long scarves from light flowing fabrics (silk, cashmere) that can be wrapped around the neck like a yoke. By the way, so popular in recent times knitted dreams - also your option. Avoid tightly wrapping the neck with a handkerchief, as well as wearing short neckerchiefs. They will create the impression of a thinner neck and draw attention to the chin.

You can wear a headscarf and on your head, for example, twisting it in a turban. This design will give volume and pull the top. The “companion” for the turban should be loose hair, you can curl it slightly. You can tie a scarf on the type of hair hoop, but only after having dismissed the hair and made an easy bouffant at the crown.

The choice of jewelry, in particular, earrings for girls with this type of face is quite diverse. The main rule is to avoid flat jewelry, earrings with sharp corners, rough shapes. Ring earrings are suitable, and even of large diameter (they will make the shape of the face softer), dangling iridescent earrings, decorations of smooth shapes of an unusual configuration.

When choosing earrings make sure that their length exceeds the width. Jewelry material can be different - luxurious gold, elegant silver, natural stones and even bright plastic jewelry in the style of pop art.

Choosing jewelry on a neck, stop on those that form a V-shaped configuration. It can be either a necklace of a given shape, or an ordinary chain with an elongated triangle-shaped pendant.

Do not wear short beads and chains that will make the jaw more visually coarse. Use fine jewelry, they will give the image elegance and lightness.
