Round Faces


Kou Naturals' Clay Mineral Foundation


If your face is round...you might want to try the following tricks for this Holiday Season.

Foundations: Select a foundation that is a shade or two lighter than your face and a second shade that matches closest to your skin tone. With the lighter foundation, apply to the center of your face with a Kabuki brush. With the second darker shade such as the Clay Mineral Foundation by Kou Naturals, blend and contour towards the outside of your face. This will offset your face and make it look less rounded.

Eyes: Apply a matte light brown eyeshadow to brow (preferrably lighter than your foundation.) Use a Golden Taupe Mineral Eye Shadow by Kou Naturals over the eye lids. Blend with this color to create dept, heavier at the base where the fold is and lighter over the lids. Apply dark brown eye liner to top and bottom. Apply dark brown brow pencil to eyebrows. Curl lashes and apply black mascara.

Cheeks: Apply lighter foundation above the apples of cheeks with a small powder brush. Apply Kou Naturals' Sienna Mineral Blush to the apples of cheeks with a larger blush brush. With the Clay Mineral Foundation and a small powder brush, apply a straight line along the sides of your nose. This will make you look like you have a bridge, creating a less flat and rounded face.

Lips: Apply a neutral lip liner to the lips. Apply a warm peach lipstick. Coat with a lip gloss to finish the look.

The Clay, Golden Taupe, Seinna and peach colored lips all have yellow undertones to compliment Asian skin. This is a great professional look for everyday wear. I call this the "take me seriously" look. Ideal for seminars, presentations and interviews.
