Stop Over-Highlighting Your Midface

If you have a long midface (a.k.a. extended philtrum area), skip the highlighter overload. It’s not helping. A common mistake: thinking that brightening under the eyes or upper cheeks will “lift” your face. For long midfaces, this often backfires—making the center appear longer and flatter, especially under harsh light. Instead: ✔️ Use contour (or a deeper foundation shade) to shadow from the lower eye to the nose tip. ✔️ Highlight strategically—just along tear troughs or nasolabial folds. ✔️ Avoid large zones of glowy blush. Instead, split application: – A soft pop of warm blush directly under aegyo-sal to lift the eye – A muted, slightly cooler blush to balance below Keep everything controlled. Extend blush over the bridge of the nose—not too wide. It’s about redirecting the eye, not masking your face. The goal? Not fullness. It’s proportion. That’s what creates elegance. #beauty #makeup #facialstructurefix
