Know your own face shape when contouring your features with lipstick makeup. You’ll find other tutorials on our channel which explain the methods of doing this. If you follow this vintage 60’s makeup tutorial, you’ll always know how to achieve the perfect lips of the classic Hollywood stars.
There’s a separate set of makeup tips for applying lipstick to each of the five face shapes. The oval, the round, the square, the oblong and the triangle face.
Lipstick for the Oval Face Shape.
Don’t make your lips up too heavy or dark. Try making your lips up with a soft color and a natural curve.
Lipstick for the Round Face Shape.
Don’t over emphasize your mouth or the roundness of your face with a a full circular lip line.
To create an illusion of an oval face, try making your lips up with a soft wide curve.
Lipstick for the Square Face Shape.
Of you have a square face, with a boxy shape, don’t use a line which exaggerates your square shape.
Also, don’t use a thin narrow lip line for the same reason. Try making your lips up with a soft natural curve. And use a lip brush.
Lipstick for the Oblong Face Shape.
For the long narrow oblong face, try making your lips up wider than their natural length.
Lipstick for the Triangle Face Shape.
If you have a narrow forehead and broad jawline, in other wards a triangle face shape. Don’t make up your lips too round and heavy. Extend your lip line to create a wider mouth, which minimizes your jawline.
