Make up according to Face Cuts

• Round face – You can wear dark pink and ruby red lip colors. Try not to use a lip liner. Blush is of utmost importance and it must always be of a dark color.
• Oval face – An oval or heart shaped face has have very prominent cheekbones. So do not apply too much blush that will further accentuate the area. Only soft pink blush colors are to be used. This type of face must concentrate on lip color instead, properly lining the lips and using bold colors.
• Square face – In this facial shape, the jaw is larger than the forehead. So lip makeup should be minimal. Apply only soft and nude colors on the lips. Concentrate on applying a pink shade of blush that has to be blended in circular motions.

• Make up items must never be used post their its expiry date. If it no longer has its regular consistency, you must stop using the product immediately. The best precautionary method is to change makeup items every six months.
• Do not share makeup items. This leads to transfer of bacteria from one person to another. Follow the rule especially in the case of eye make up.
