Calling all those with lots of empty space on their faces!! My secret tip for reducing facial space with shading✨

I tend to have a lot of empty space on my face, so I pay special attention to shading when I do my makeup...

If you blindly apply heavy shading because you want your face to look smaller, it actually makes your face look patchy, and

The makeup itself looked a bit too heavy.

I definitely tried to make my face look smaller, but instead, it feels like only the shaded parts stand out...? ㅠㅠ

So, after trying this and that, I’ve settled on my own method!!

as soon as Use the powder type for a natural look all over the face, and the stick type for a defined nose! This is how to do shading.

So, starting now, I’m going to introduce a great tip for naturally reducing facial space using the two products I use!!

1. ✨Too Cool for School Art Class by Rodin Shading — For Full Face✨

The first one is the very famous Too Cool for School shading!!

I tend to use this product to lightly shade my entire face, especially focusing on my jawline.

The most important thing here is Don't apply it thickly from the start!!

In the past, I used to apply multiple layers of shading to my jawline to reduce the empty space on my face, but it actually made the boundaries too distinct and looked unnatural...

So these days, I put just a small amount on the brush and sweep it along my jawline and the outer edges of my face.

In particular, rather than giving the impression of sculpting the face, aim to naturally refine the overall contours!!

😎 My own secret tip!

Instead of applying shading directly to your face after picking it up on the brush, try tapping it once on the back of your hand or a tissue before applying it!

Also, if you naturally blend the boundary from the jawline to the neck, you can reduce the look where the shading stands out too much.

2. ✨Etude Reimagination Maker #Cool Shading — For Nose Shading✨

The second one is the Etude Re-creation Maker that I use for nose contouring!!

I used to use powder shading and a brush for my nose, but strangely, the shadows seemed to fade over time. Plus, when I layered it multiple times with a brush, my nose sometimes actually looked blunter, perhaps due to the powder fallout...

So these days, I've been using a stick type for nose contouring!!

I tend to first apply a short shade to the area connecting the front of my eyebrows to the bridge of my nose, and add a little shading to the tip of my nose as well.

At this time, I am avoiding drawing the sides of the nose bridge thickly from beginning to end!!

If I'm not careful, my nose looks longer or the shading is too obvious...

So, draw briefly only where necessary, then gently blend the edges with a small brush or your hand.

In particular, the stick type allows you to apply shading directly where you want, so I recommend it to those who, like me, want to do precise nose contouring!!

😎 My own secret tip!

Rather than drawing nose contouring heavily Naturally connecting the shading on both sides of the bridge of the nose I think this is important.

Even when I want to emphasize the tip of my nose, I use a small amount only on the lower part of the nose rather than applying shading broadly.

By doing this, you can create a slightly more defined look without having to apply heavy makeup to the entire nose.

💖Conclusion: Try doing full face and nose shading separately!!

In the past, I tried to cover my entire face with just one shading product.

After trying various methods, I actually found that using different products depending on the area of ​​the body was much more to my liking!!

For a subtle look all over the face with Too Cool for School Powder Shading, and for a delicate look on the nose with Etude Stick Shading!

By using these two products separately, I was able to naturally refine my facial contours without having to apply heavy shading. I especially recommend giving this a try if you, like me, are concerned about facial volume but find heavy makeup too overwhelming!! Of course, the shading method that suits you best will vary depending on your face shape and nose shape.
