Tone, relief
The foundation is a basic object that models contours and visually stretches them.
Primer of light colors highlights the oval of the face, dark colors - the rest of the parts. It should be used for the neck and décolleté so that they do not differ. Dark circles are also masked with foundation and concealer.
Powder - matte. Blush is applied with a small brush, moving from bottom to top. It is recommended to take shades of beige and bronze.

Correct sculpting
Sculpting involves getting rid of the cheeks and double chin. In this case, good cosmetics will help. We talk in detail about the correct technique.
Dark sculptor
Apply a dark sculptor with a thin layer on the cheek area. Next comes the "foundation" (always on cleansed skin) and spreads evenly.
In a specific case, the areas to be corrected look as natural as possible, only a professional can tell the difference.
The sculptor is selected based on the color of the skin, should be 2-3 shades darker. And for the light one, a slight darkening of the areas is allowed.
Do not forget about the selection of the jaw line: with the sculptor, draw a strip along and blend downward. The technique is also needed to reduce the thickness of the neck. Contour the nose additionally using a dark concealer on both sides. Thanks to the chiseled nose, the oval will look slimmer.
Blush
Designed to reduce roundness. Peach and pale pink colors are preferred (natural, suitable for everyone). Applied with a brush with natural fibers along the cheekbone slightly above the corrector.
Important points:

- can not be shaded in a circular motion;
- do not apply close to the nose.
Highlighter
A minimum amount of highlighter is enough. A small amount is applied over the upper lip, under the brow space, in the inner corner of the eyelid.
Choose a delicate glow highlighter with a liquid or cream base.
When corrected and shaded, the lines have an “upward” effect.
Bronzer
Matte bronzer will do.Smeared with light movements along the oval and on the side of the forehead, cheeks. Creates a tanning effect, reduces and stretches outlines.

Tips from stylists
Make-up professionals recommend:
- To distract from the roundness of the face itself, focus on the eyes.... Smokey, lush arrows and thick eyelashes are your faithful companions. The embossed technique is especially suitable, which will significantly open the eye. When drawing with black eyeliner, do not draw clear lines, slightly blend them.
- Make your brows natural. Should be well-groomed, of the correct shape, with a high bend without unnecessary elements. The bend is necessarily moderate. The farther from the nose the farthest point, the wider the cheeks will appear. The tips are long, pointed, as short ones add extra pounds.
- Darkening problem areas... All unfavorable sides are darkened, if this is not done, then the make-up will only spoil the image.
- Don't forget your lips... If they are thin, then visually it is better to add volume to make the outlines look smaller. The lower part is brought in with a pencil, acting as a natural contour. The final moment is nude lipstick and gloss right in the center.
- Suitable hairstyle. You can not use voluminous hairstyles and curls. And if you straighten your hair with a special iron, then the situation will change radically.
Lengthen the oval, accentuate other parts of the face.
What is categorically not recommended to do
To create a beautiful image, you also need to understand what mistakes you should not make, so as not to spoil the appearance:
- for the lips, contrast is needed so that the rest of the zones against their background do not seem more voluminous, a nude selection without additional sparkles is suitable, etc .;
- give up dense tonal foundations, it is recommended to hide small imperfections with a loose corrector, an even tone gives the features a flat look, which means it rounds.
- make-up should be the most natural, not overloaded in order to get closer to the "classic" form.
The plump oval offers little room for experimentation. It is better to choose in advance several options for different occasions and use on an ongoing basis.
For inspiration, you can use images from glossy magazines, thematic sites and blogs, illustrating the work of makeup artists.
