  • The Best Celebrity Makeup Looks For Your Face Shape

  • Without looking in the mirror, do you know what shape your face is? I think I'm round (if you are too, check out the best hairstyles for round face shapes), but then when I asked the gals in my office, some of them agreed with me, but others said I'm more heart-shaped and one said I'm oval. Hmmm … well, at least I can rule out square …

  • Why all this face shape talk? I came across this fun story: The Best Makeup Looks For Your Face Shape. It shows photos of celebs that represent each face shape and an overall makeup look that will enhance your features, while minimizing your least favorite aspects of your shape (Reese Witherspoon draws focus away from her prominent chin in her heart-shaped face by adding a splash of color to her mouth and cheeks in this photo). I decided I'm a round-heart hybrid since I'm not distinctly one or the other. So I read through the tips and product suggestions for both round and heart, and I'm trying out a few to see what looks best on me. Scroll down for a guide to your most gorgeous face.

  • Your ideal makeup look: To help cut down the length of your face, try a "rosy or bronzy blush that goes horizontal across the cheeks," says Barose and define your eyes and lips.
