✨ Introduction: Why Contouring Matters for Square Faces

Importance of working with your natural bone structure
Benefits of softening angles for a balanced, feminine appearance

✨ How to Know If You Have a Square Face

Common features: broad forehead, strong jawline, equal width of forehead and jaw
Quick mirror test to identify your face shape

✨ Contouring Goals for Square Faces

Minimize angular edges
Add curves and lift to the face
Create more oval-like appearance

✨ Where to Contour: Strategic Shadow Placement

Jawline: contour to soften and slim
Temples: contour to round out the forehead
Cheeks: contour under the cheekbones in a slightly curved line

Tip: Use a fluffy angled brush for softer blending—avoid sharp lines

✨ Highlight to Soften and Lift

Apply highlighter to center of forehead, top of cheekbones, chin, and down the nose
Use a cream or liquid formula for a natural finish

Avoid: highlighting the jawline—it draws attention to the angles

✨ Blush Placement for a Softer Look

Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend slightly upward
Use rosy or coral shades for a natural flush
Cream blush helps keep the look seamless and soft

✨ The Ideal Brow Shape for Square Faces

Slightly curved or softly arched brows to balance angular features
Avoid flat or square-shaped brows—they add more boxiness to the face

✨ Eyes & Lips: The Balancing Act

Go for soft, blended eye makeup looks
Add volume to lips using a subtle overline and gloss
Avoid super edgy eyeliner or overly defined eye looks

✨ Product Recommendations

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder

✨ Contouring Mistakes to Avoid

Over-contouring the jawline (makes it look sharper)
Not blending properly (creates harsh lines)
Using too-dark contour products

✨ Final Thoughts: Embrace & Enhance

Softening your features doesn’t mean changing who you are—it’s about balance and bringing harmony to your natural beauty. With the right contouring techniques, your square face can look both sculpted and graceful.
