because I've been wanting to do this

video for a while

so we are going to be teaching you I'm

going to be teaching you how to kind of

slim down a round face as you can see I

do have a round face and I feel like my

face fluctuates a lot depending on you

know what I eat how much I'm sleeping

yada yada yada

I really feel like that kind of stuff

affects my face so I've kind of

developed my own little techniques and

ideas on how to slim my face as best as

I see fit so I kind of want to share

that with you because I know I mean I

feel like a lot of you probably have you

know you know maybe similar face shape

to me that like to watch my videos or

similar coloring or something I don't

know I feel like I have to be relatable

in some way or form to you guys for you

guys to want to watch my videos so for

those of you this is for those of you

that do have round faces this is

definitely going to be a helpful video I

think I hope because I'm going to be

going through the products that I use

specific techniques that I do and also

specific tools because tools are so

important I don't know how many times I

could stress that honestly not enough

because they're very very very very

important so finding the right brushes

the right kind of brushes the right

shape brushes you know all that jazz

we're going to be going over all of that

two days so if you're excited just keep

watching don't forget to please

subscribe to my channel if you want to

see more of my videos I am doing a huge

drugstore series on my channel right now

so if you are liking if you like

drugstore makeup and you want to see a

lot of drugstore videos then you know

come on over to the little fambam

join the party over here and yeah so

alright let's get started first off I

want to talk about the type of products

that I'm going to be using so we are

going to be going over contouring

bronzing highlighting and blush those

are the steps of the face that I think

can really really make or break a makeup

looks so for me I typically tend to

reach for powder so that's what I'm

going to be using in this video if you

do like creams there's no problem with

that if you find that easier to work

with cream based products definitely you

can go ahead and do that and you can

pretty much use this a

tips and tricks that I'm going to be

showing you guys this look weird that

little little fishtail back there you

can pretty much use the same techniques

that I'm going to be sharing with you

guys with cream products but yeah for me

I like to use powders most of the time

so we are going to start off with

contour now contouring it can change

your face shape tremendously I feel like

a lot of us already know that by now but

there are definitely different ways to

contour and I feel like a lot of times I

see people contouring the exact same way

no matter what their face shape is which

I don't think is the most beneficial way

I mean it can definitely give you some

more definition but it's not going to be

the most effective way to slim down your

face if you have a round face shape so

the product that I'm going to be using

today to contour is one of my favorite

products of all time so this is mac

cosmetics shapes or sculpting powder

it's just in a single little pin that I

put into this palette but that is the

actual product and I Willis all the

products down below in case you want to

check them out or if you're interested

in the exact products that I'm using but

honestly any contouring palette that you

have at home will do or even any

contouring shade a couple really nice

ones are the NYX NYX contouring palette

the ABH contour palette is really good

and the Kat Von D pat very very good all

three of those but yeah this is what I'm

going to be using so I think that

brushes are one of the most important

things to take into consideration when

you are contouring and now I don't think

a lot of people talked about this and I

don't know why because it makes such a

difference so there are tons of

different shaped contouring brushes as

you guys probably know these are my

three favorite shapes that I reach for

the most

so the first one is this one this is

actually the one that I use on most days

so this is the Sigma small contour fo5 I

love that has like a rounded brush and I

think kind of like buff in the product

and really really get that sculpted

cheekbones look the second one that I

really like is actually the morphe r8

and most circumstances I don't like the

brushes that are super flat like this

for my face shape or for round face

shapes in general but this one I like

because it's not synthetic it's a

natural hair bristle brush natural hair

bristles brush

you guys know what I mean but because of

that it actually blends in the powder is

pretty smoothly so I like this one a lot

and then the last one my ride-or-die Mac

168 this is such a amazing contouring

brush this is not really I don't think

this is really meant for contouring I

mean it might be I don't really know you

know makeup is makeup and there's rules

but they are to be broken but this one

is personally one of my favorite brushes

I would say these two are the ones that

I reach for the most

out of any of it there was a time where

I would not put this down like probably

six months where I never use another

contour brush so very solid options both

of these and the more if you want as

well just depends kind of what shape

you're looking for but I would recommend

any three of these shapes I'm going to

try to show you one that I would not

recommend so I would not recommend

something like this for contouring just

because you want to stay away from

anything too fluffy and too wide because

that is going to really make too harsh

of lines so definitely stay away from

anything like that and you'll be good to

go

I think for today I will use the Isle

which I use out of these two I love both

of these so much so it's really hard for

me to choose okay I think I'm going to

use this one so the Sigma smile contour

I take a little bit of the product

I do tap off the excess just so that we

don't get too much and then I'll just

start going in on my cheekbones and the

trick to contouring for a round face is

not to bring it too much towards the

nose so you want to stop it about maybe

halfway towards the eye I find that that

makes the best shape if you bring it in

too much it will actually make your face

look shorter thus making it look more

round so definitely don't take it too

far in as you may see in like some

diagrams that that are all over

Instagram I only recommend taking it

towards maybe half the eye at most and
