Face Shape: Heart
Is Your Face a Heart? A heart-shaped face typically has a pointy chin, and the face is widest in the brow and forehead area. Some people with a heart-shaped face have a widow's peak, but it's not a hard-and-fast rule. Overall, the face shape resembles an upside-down triangle.
The Strategy: The goal is to balance out the forehead and chin, so you want to minimize the width of the forehead by contouring along the upper temples. Then, focus your highlight shade on the center of the chin to emphasize the area.
How to Contour Cheeks on Heart-Shaped Faces
To find the perfect placement of the cheek contour, use your makeup brush. Place the end of the tool behind your ear and follow the angle of the brush from the top of the lobe down onto the cheekbone. Your contour should go no lower than the nose and shouldn't reach any further than the outer edge of the eye.
How to Highlight Heart-Shaped Faces
When working with a heart-shaped face, you want to make the chin more prominent to balance out a wider forehead. Bettelli recommends a mix of yellow and pink tones to brighten, adding more of either shade depending on your skin tone.
