Basic rules for face correction

Using cosmetics to visually model the face, correction typically involves using light and dark hues. When applying dark shades, the application area appears to visually decrease or narrow. These colors function as "light" and "shadow." On the other hand, it increases and becomes somewhat more convex when light shades are used. Tone-on-tone shades are used to correct defects and imperfections in the skin.

It is best to apply dark cosmetics only in the evening, when the shadows "soften" a bit, as there’s a chance that the correction will be too obvious during the day.

Nonetheless, dry products are advised if shaping the face is required. Use light bronzers or blush in a "tan" hue, for instance. Naturally, it’s crucial to make sure the shading is both gentle and comprehensive. For this use, use a small, fluffy brush with natural bristles.

Use only dry products when correcting your cheekbones and face contour with dark shades if you have oily or oily skin.

Liquid and cream products are lightweight options. However, they have to be chosen based on skin type. They also need to last a long time. It is recommended to use powder to fix the result after application.

It is crucial to make sure that the correction stops at the hairline (particularly when darkening areas of the forehead and correcting cheekbones). If not, it will be scattered and extremely noticeable, and there will be no way to cover it up.

Sequence of actions when correcting the shape of the face

When applying bright evening makeup for a big event where you will be photographed, it is best to use creamy-textured products for the correction and to apply them underneath the foundation.

You cannot be afraid of the color’s intensity in this situation. The tone will produce even shading edges and a clean change from light to shadow. While the correction will still be visible visually, its intensity will decrease; conversely, it will appear on camera.

Correction is applied to the foundation for regular evening makeup in order to prevent jagged edges and spots.

Using a brush, gently blend the product with the sponge or tone. The end effect ought to resemble a faint haze and be imperceptible.

Errors in product application are evident in daylight, so it is best to stay away from dark correction.

Since it directly depends on the shape of your face, the correction plan that works best for you is always unique (we covered this topic in detail here). Nonetheless, there are universally applicable general rules.

Face correction rules

• On the Internet, you can find a large number of schemes and recommendations for correction, but they all boil down to the fact that "sharp corners" should always be rounded. If your chin is too sharp, your hairline is too high at the corners of your forehead, or your cheekbones are too wide, then it is advisable to darken these areas. Thus, the visual perception of the face will be reduced to only its light areas, the shape will become oval, and the contours of the face will be softer, the cheekbones will narrow.
• If the face is round or wide or there are other reasons why you want to “stretch” it vertically, then apply a concealer a couple of tones lighter than your skin on the T-zone, forehead and chin. The problem will be solved!
• One of the favorite topics of beauty bloggers is still “cheekbones like Kim Kardashian’s”. This correction scheme is based on a sharp contrast of light and shadow. This effect can be achieved by lightening the area above the cheekbone and darkening the area below it. Above the cheekbone, a light concealer is applied in the shape of a triangle, which starts under the eyes, goes to the temple and ends at the wings of the nose. A dark concealer is applied to the “gap” under the cheekbone and very carefully shaded upward.

• Use a product a few shades lighter to enlarge your lips (apply the product to the “hollow” above your lip, going to the upper edges, and also to the “hollow” under your lip.

Eye shape correction

The main methods for correcting the shape of your eyes are with shadows, eyeliner, and mascara; however, correctors can also help, particularly if you don’t wear eye makeup every day.

• Apply a light, thin corrector to the entire upper eyelid to balance the color of the eyelid and skin color.
• Applying a light corrector to the area under the eyebrow will visually lift the eyebrow and “open up” the look.
• Distribute a corrector with light-reflecting particles to the area under the eyes to mask bruises and puffiness, as well as refresh the look. Apply the corrector in the shape of an inverted triangle.
