Flat Face, No Problem—Here’s How I Add Natural Dimension

After doing makeup for over 1,000 girls, I’ve learned this: flat features don’t need drama—they need strategy. This client had soft, medium-volume features with low contrast and minimal facial depth. The goal? A sweet, lifted look with believable 3D structure. ✨ Base: We went with a sheer, radiant foundation to show off her great skin without masking it. 👃 Contour: A subtle double-C shadow technique along the sides of the nose gave her a soft, believable bridge. A pinpoint highlighter at the nose tip pulled the whole structure upward. 🎨 Cheeks: Her natural apples sit high and close to her nose, which made her mid-face appear droopy. I used blush to move the “visual high point” outward, and a mid-face highlight to create fullness across the cheeks. 🖊️ Brows: Originally faint and tapered off. I rebuilt them with soft arches and textured strokes—fluffier, slightly arched brows instantly brought balance and definition. Small tweaks, major lift. #beauty #makeup #facecontour
