Filter your face shape
You can easily fake an oval face. Try some contouring by lightly buffing a matte cream bronzer along your hairline, starting at your temples, and stopping just before the centre of your forehead.
Then buff along your jawline from the widest point towards the centre, stopping just before the middle. This will create the optical illusion of an oval face shape.

Carve in cheekbones
Celebs and models use contouring to create instant cheekbones, so do the same! Grab a matte powder bronzer –it’s a team favourite – and buff it under and along your cheekbone. This creates the effect of a shadow, making your cheekbones stand out more.

Sculpted jaw
Contouring also works a treat along your jawline to make it look more defined and razor sharp, so take your bronzer and buff it all the way along and just slightly under where your jawbone is. Then take the bronzer down either side of your throat, as this will make your neck seem longer, which also helps your face appear slimmer.
Nose tweaker
Slightly narrowing your nose has the knock-on effect of slimming your face. And there’s no needles or surgeon’s knives required. Simply apply a lighter shade of concealer down either side of the length of your nose and buff in.
