What to do if your face is too long

A long face usually appears on thin people. Only a thin face can show the overall face shape. Health is very important. You must not deliberately improve your face through surgery just because it is too long. It is recommended that you can use small makeup methods to change some shortcomings of your face shape in daily life.

Here’s how:

When applying makeup, pay attention to visually increasing the width of your face. There are also certain techniques for applying foundation and modifying facial features.

1. Face shape analysis: The ratio of the length to the width of the face is greater than 4:3, and it is narrower on both sides, long on the top and bottom and narrow in the middle. This type of face shape can easily make people look lifeless, depressed and listless due to thin cheeks and lack of full facial muscles. Although it is congenital, don't worry, we can make up for it with simple makeup methods to make the face smaller.

2. Tips on how to use foundation to make a long face smaller: The combination of different colors of foundation can effectively shape the face. After using a foundation that is close to your skin color, apply a darker foundation on the upper part of your forehead and jawline (the tip of your chin) to make your face look shorter. Then apply a bright foundation on both sides of the forehead and the sides of the jaw to widen the sides of the face. In this way, the long face appears slightly rounder. In makeup, foundation has always been a powerful tool for shaping the face. The clever use of different colors of foundation can shape different face shapes.

3. Trimming of eyebrows and eyebrow shape When trimming eyebrows and drawing eyebrow makeup, try to make the eyebrows flat and slightly curved, move the brow peak backwards, and lengthen the eyebrow ends. In this way, the feeling of a long face becomes less obvious.

4. The long and thin nose also needs to be trimmed. Apply some dark foundation or nose shadow powder on both sides of the nose bridge (girls who don’t have nose shadow powder can use dark eyebrow powder instead). It should be noted that the blending area must be narrow and short. Apply bright-colored powder or light-colored foundation to the middle of the nose bridge, making the area wide and short, so that the nose bridge looks slightly wider and shorter visually.

5. Tips for using eyeliner: The eyeliner from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye should gradually become wider, and the eyeliner at the end of the eye should extend slightly outward.

6. Lip makeup: The lip peaks should be drawn outwards, the lips should look round and full, and the bottom of the lips should be drawn slightly wider. In addition, lipstick should be applied on both ends of the lips.

7. Finally, apply blush to the outer side of the cheekbones, and blend it diagonally horizontally to the edge of the hairline. Note: Do not apply on the sunken cheeks, and be sure to apply to the roots of the hair.
