A round face can look soft and youthful, but the right makeup techniques can help create a more defined appearance.
The trick lies in the placement of blush, contour and highlighter, which can help create a more defined look without appearing overdone, according to Selena Gomez’s makeup artist, Hung Vanngo.
On his YouTube channel, Vanngo demonstrated how he applies makeup to Gomez’s face to give her a more lifted and defined appearance, sharing five techniques.
Choose the right foundation shade for your skin tone
The perfect makeup look starts with finding the right foundation match. Vanngo recommends keeping two shades of foundation, which can be mixed as your skin tone changes.
Brighten the center of your face with concealer
Concealer that is two shades lighter than your skin tone can be applied under the eyes, around the nose, along the sides of the mouth and on the chin. Vanngo says this helps draw attention to the center of the face and away from the sides, creating a more defined appearance.
Use soft shading instead of sharp contouring
One of the makeup tricks Vanngo shared involved using soft shading instead of a harsh contour.
“I don’t want to call it contouring because it sounds really heavy and some people don’t need it. But because she’ll be on camera a lot, the light blows out everything and I like to bring back the shading with bronzing cream,” he said.
Vanngo recommends applying shading under the cheekbones, along the jawline and near the hairline for a round face.
Enhance face shading with bronzer
Bronzer can be used to enhance the shading, according to Vanngo.
In the video, he recommended lightly layering powder bronzer over the shaded areas, noting that it adds warmth while helping set the cream-based product.
Apply blush strategically
Blush placement can help create a more sculpted appearance. According to Vanngo, people with round faces can apply blush “a little higher on the cheekbone” rather than on the apples of their cheeks.
“I generally like the blush a little higher on the cheekbone. I think it gives the face a little lift,” he said, adding, “If you want a sweet innocent look, you can [apply] around the cheek area.”
The technique is intended to create a lifted appearance, according to Vanngo.
