 6. OBLONG FACE SHAPE – A little longer than wide, this face shape will have straight cheek line and a sharp cheekbone with big fore head, very important while correcting this face we need to reduce the length of this face, with a darker shade of foundation contour the top forehead and the chin, with a bright blush draw the attention away from that extra length of the face.
 7. HEART SHAPE- forehead is the widest part of the face and chin is pointy.  To reduce the wide forehead we need to contour the sides of the fore head and to the tip of the chin to make it look less pointy, with a lighter color base highlight the upper cheekbone and the center of the face.
