FACE SHAPE GUIDE
📏 Oblong Face Shape
Elegant length with even widths top to bottom
How to tell if your face is oblong

- ✓Forehead, cheeks, and jaw are all similar in width
- ✓Jaw is gently rounded rather than angular
- ✓Often paired with a taller forehead
Makeup for an oblong face
Blush: Horizontal blush placement across the apples visually widens and balances.
Contour: Contour along the hairline and under the chin to shorten; never contour cheeks vertically.
Brows: Long, flat brows add width and break up vertical length.
Where to focus: Anything horizontal: extended eyeshadow, wide-set highlight, straight brows.
