Brilio.net - A square or square face shape is usually characterized by a strong and firm jawline, as well as a forehead and cheeks that have dimensions that are relatively the same width. It's not surprising that owners of square faces often don't feel confident about their face shape, because it looks wide and disproportionate.
Because of this, many people use certain makeup techniques to create the illusion of a square face looking thinner. One of the main focuses is slimming a strong jawline with proper contouring techniques.
Facial contouring is a makeup technique that can provide additional dimension and definition to a person's facial structure. For those with square or square faces, contouring techniques can be very effective in balancing or softening the sharp angles on their face.

Before knowing how to apply it, first prepare your favorite contour product. Can be in the form of stick, cream, liquid, or powder. Furthermore, use foundation and concealer first. After that, apply the contour slightly higher than applying contour on people with oval or thin faces.
"If you're a square person, your face is a bit short, so you have to make it taller by using a slightly raised contour," said the account owner.

Apply contour just below the cheekbones and pull towards the corners of the mouth. Not only that, you also need to apply contour to the forehead area to give the impression of smaller facial dimensions.
Next, to make the jaw appear smaller and less defined, apply contour under the jawbone from the ear to the middle of the chin. This helps create the illusion of softer curves and reduces the square impression of the jaw.

So, so that the contour results look more natural, you can even out or blend the contour with the help of a beauty blender. But, don't pull it, do it slowly by tapping it so it can really blend in and not putty. If you are sure that the contour is perfect, you can continue with your makeup. Now you will get a face that looks thinner and more defined even though you have a square face shape.
