Round face: choosing a make-up and hairstyle, accessories and hats

All people have different types of faces. There are triangular, oval, rectangular, round, square, and diamond-shaped faces. To look like the cover of a fashion magazine every day and stop wasting money on unnecessary accessories, all you have to do is examine your face and choose the perfect makeup, the right haircut and clothes. In this article we will talk about the intricacies of a round face, as well as the secrets of makeup and hair styling for this type of appearance.

Probably, many at least once in their lives wondered how to determine their type of face. There are two main ways.

• Go to the large mirror and take a felt-tip pen. Straighten your shoulders, look at your reflection. Then outline the contours of the face in the mirror without touching the hair and ears. Try to keep the outline as accurate as possible. Then take a closer look at the resulting shape.
• Use a centimeter to determine your widest part of your face. If the width of your forehead, cheeks and chin are about the same, then you are the owner of a square or round face. If the forehead is the widest part, then the whole face gradually tapers downward, which means, most likely, you are the owner of a triangular face.

People with a protruding chin usually have a square face. Chubby people, as a rule, look younger than their age, they often become the life of the company. This type of face has a smooth contour and the same distance from the center to any point of the oval line, an unexpressed chin, a low forehead, and the cheeks draw the main attention to themselves.

The round face looks kind and pretty. To achieve perfect harmony, a round face can be "stretched" through the correct application of makeup.

Since the eyebrows on the face are a horizontal line and can visually make the face wider, they must be drawn in a spaced manner. This option assumes the location of the eyebrows not parallel to the eyes, but at an angle above them.

The ideal eyebrow for chubby beauties is long, well-defined and with a pronounced break. Try not to pluck your eyebrows into a thread, the more natural the better.

You can sculpt your face using powder and foundation. To visually stretch the round type of face, it is recommended to use tones of two shades, which should not be too contrasting with each other.

A light tone is applied to the chin, the central part of the forehead and the bridge of the nose, and a dark tone is applied to the temples, cheekbones, the side of the nose and forehead. Remember to carefully blend the borders to create a soft effect.

We correct a full nose by applying dark shades of foundation or powder to its side walls. In the case when it is necessary to slightly shorten the nose, a dark tone is applied to its tip.

For 50-year-old women, the main rule in applying tone is naturalness. Therefore, it is worth giving preference to light BB-creams that do not create a mask effect. It is also worth using a concealer that will hide age spots and perfectly mask dark circles under the eyes.

The easiest way to emphasize the cheekbones is to use blush, which is applied with light movements obliquely from the forehead to the chin, avoiding horizontal lines.

The following action will help to apply makeup correctly: smile and gently apply a little blush of delicate peach shades on the protruding parts of the cheeks. Another way to apply blush is to pull in your cheeks until dimpled and apply blush on the protruding parts of your cheeks.

For chubby ladies, it is important to focus on the eyes. Any horizontal lines should be avoided, arrows should not be long with sharp tails. It is preferable to apply thin neat lines along the border of the upper eyelid with eyeliner.

For girls with green eyes, shades of violet, copper and lilac shades are suitable. Sand, dark green, chocolate colors will look good on brown eyes. Gray eyes are ideally combined with golden, beige and pink tones, and blue - with shades of bronze, lavender and dark chocolate.

On chubby women, long, thick, curled upper eyelashes look very beautiful, the lower ones can be emphasized with shadows.

On a round face, the use of a lip liner is strictly prohibited. It is better to use a gloss with mother-of-pearl or matte lipstick in light shades.

Evening make-up is a bright make-up, which implies a full emphasis on the eyes, but at the same time looks neat in artificial light. A step-by-step technique for applying evening makeup for a round face looks like this.

1. First, we sculpt the face using light and dark foundation or powder., narrow the cheeks, lighten the forehead, apply concealer under the eyes, lengthen the chin according to the above scheme. Do not forget to shade carefully in order to avoid clear artificial boundaries.
2. Shaping the eyebrows: using tweezers, remove excess hairs and draw clear outlines, raising the outer tip of the arc.
3. Apply the highlighter to highlight the top of the cheekbones, center of the nose and forehead.
4. Highlight your eyes beautifully for evening makeup - perhaps the most difficult stage. First, apply an eyeshadow base to your moving lid. Then apply dark shadows all over the eyelid, as if patting them with a flat brush. Then, with a clean brush, blend the border of the applied shadows along the orbital line. In the inner corners and under the eyebrows, add some shadows of light shades, gently blend. Paint over the mucous membrane and the space between the eyelashes with a soft black pencil. After that, if you wish, you can apply a thin line of eyeliner along the growth of the eyelashes of the upper eyelid. At the end, we shape the eyelashes with curling mascara.
5. Lips decorate with light beige lipstick with a slight glossy effect.

Many people envy the owners of a round face, because despite their age, they will always look visually younger than their friends with narrow faces. If you choose the right hairstyle for a round face, you can visually lengthen it and smooth full cheeks. To stretch your face, you need to adhere to vertical lines in the hairstyle, for example, due to the volume at the back of the head.

Curls and curls will not add beauty, and, perhaps, aggravate the situation by increasing the total volume of the head, at the same time rounding up the face even more. If you really want curls, then you need to style your hair with a light wave from the chin.

Straight bangs create a heavier face. Extravagant pixie is one of the ultra short haircuts that suits chubby charms. Thanks to the open neck, it lengthens and stretches the face.

Ponytails will open a round face, and due to the high rise to the top of the head, they will visually make the girl taller.

Straight parting is contraindicated for owners of a round face, and hair laid to one side will correct the roundness of the contour. Choosing a haircut and styling with asymmetry will soften full features or emphasize the merits of a chubby girl.

A “bob” haircut below the chin line is not the best option for those with a round face, but in the presence of a beveled bang it looks very impressive.

The Greek style, in which the hair is braided on either side of the head, enhances the beauty of the pretty round face.

Styling long hair behind the ears, as well as a low bun with strands left on the sides, will help to give the correct oval shape.

Owners of curly hair need to be cut in such a way as to emphasize the cheekbones, while hiding the fullness of the oval.

Round-faced women are more pretty due to their smooth, almost childlike features. Chubby people should be especially careful when choosing a headdress. It should be combined not only with facial features, but also with clothing and body type.

Stylists advise trying on hats before buying, because this way you can immediately assess whether a similar accessory suits you or not.Experts in the fashion and beauty industry recommend for a round face a piece of clothing for the head that is not too tight, opening the forehead and covering the cheeks at the sides.

For chubby fashionistas, miniature berets are ideal, which are worn slightly to one side, and voluminous beanie hats visually lengthen the face. Winter hats with pom-poms or a cap with earflaps with long or short ears on the sides will also help visually stretch out chubby girls.

The trumpet cap has been at the peak of its popularity lately. It wraps around the head and neck, while highlighting the volume under the chin, thereby stretching the face. A bonnet, fedora hats, a high baseball cap, a downy shawl are also ideal for those with round face shapes.

There are also such hats that are literally contraindicated for a round face:

• headphone hats;
• knitted tight-fitting hats up to eyebrows;
• classic berets.

Before choosing a hat, it is also advisable to pay attention to your color type. For example, warm colors are ideal for fair-haired girls, and gold and lemon ones for red-haired girls with dark skin.

Well-chosen jewelry is the perfect finishing touch to any look.

Holders of a round face should opt for thin, oval or teardrop-shaped, face-stretching earrings, or on small, barely noticeable studs. It is advised to ignore round chunky ear accessories.

Elongated chains with graceful small pendants will fit around the neck. Short ornaments under the neck, as well as large chubby stones should be avoided.

It is important for girls with round faces to avoid horizontal lines. They should buy glasses in almost any frame, except for a round one. Rectangular glasses in an elegant thin frame, protruding beyond the line of the widest part of the face, will look very stylish.

Another ideal option is a cat-eye frame. It is advisable to choose the bows without decor, a clear geometric shape. Frame color should match perfectly with hair and skin color.

It is better to choose a scarf or shawl from a dense fabric, and you need to tie it loosely, not under the throat, leaving the neck space open.

The headscarf should leave some of the hair open and create volume at the crown, thereby visually stretching the face.
