The secret is in contouring and highlighting.
For every face shape, there are special steps.
What is your face shape?  Let's see :)


Round face:

Contour: Sides of jaw, forehead and neck
Highlight: Centre of cheeks, centre of nose, forehead and chin
Blush: Just under the cheekbones 


Long face:

Contour: Forehead by hairline, lower cheeks and chin
Highlight: Above cheekbones and forehead
Blush: On the cheekbones


Square face:

Contour: Forehead and sides of jaw
Highlight: Centre of cheeks, centre of nose and chin
Blush: On the sides of cheekbones


Heart face:

Contour: Chin and forehead
Highlight: Lower cheeks on jawline
Blush: On the cheekbones




For highlight: Use a foundation 2 shades lighter than your skin tone.  You can use cream, liquid or powder.
For contouring:  Use a low or non-shimmer bronzer. Set with powder.



Tools you need: 
 
Angled blush brush – Good for contour.
Fan brush – Works well for powder highlighters.
Fingers – Best for cream or liquid highlighters.
