The OVAL face type is considered to be perfect or classic. Contours and proportions form th
e basis for modifying all other facial types. The eyes, nose and mouth are in ideal proportions and the face is gently oval. To determine your shape, pull hair back, look in mirror, and draw your facial outline with lipstick or damp soap into the mirror. It is then simple to draw over this, an oval - you can then see your face shape and where it needs to be contoured to bring it to the illusion of being oval.
Apply BLUSHER to warm the complexion. It reaches from top to bottom of ear at side of face and in along bone structure (which you can see when you smile slightly). Do not apply blush closer towards nose than halfway between ear and nose.
HIGHLIGHTER can be applied very lightly between eye and blusher to give an almost invisible sheen. It accents and highlights both eyes and cheekbones. (Use a softer blush shade here) on drawing the stroke type lines are highlighter, and the larger area is blush.
