The basis of sculpting is the ability of dark and matte to visually reduce volumes and dimensions, on the contrary, light and light will increase. Thus, with the help of special products, we can correct the shape of the face and reduce the size and volume when necessary. For a good result, you first need to choose the right tools.

The color of the product used is very important – it should not be brick, reddish and excessively gray. The ideal one that gives the skin a soft color of a natural shade. And one more important point – the styling product should be matte.

The final result largely depends on how we apply the product. It is best to use a specially designed beveled brush for applying sculptor. Helps provide natural coverage without streaks, blemishes or streaks.

The texture of the product can be creamy or powdery. But it is best to combine them to achieve a super expressive effect: first apply the first (cream) and then duplicate the coating with the second powder. The main rule: apply the last with sweeping movements.
How to sculpt a face?
First you need to prepare the base – your favorite foundation, preferably matte. After that, we proceed to the “formation” of the oval of the face.
- With the sculptor, we work the hairline and the area behind the ears (as a rule, the place where the skin is most open).
- We provide relief: we pull back the cheeks a little and apply the product from the hairline to the center, on the highlighted cheekbone line. Having worked out the jaw line, and then the temporal gaps at an angle of 45 degrees – we visually create a lifting effect. Don’t forget the nasal septum.
- We complete the picture with the help of a light corrector, which we apply to the area under the eyes – we rub the product with the pads of our fingers.
This is the basic principle of modeling the ideal oval of the face.
