Face Shape

Face shape can determine a lot about what will or won’t work for an individual. From hairstyle to the cut of a shirt, your face shape can guide you in the right direction. The most concise “how to determine face shape” I found came from http://www.visual-makeover.com/face.htm. So here’s the gist of it:

  • Oval Face – Length equal to one and a half times width.
  • Round Face – Your face is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little but generally the measurement is close.
  • Oblong – Longer than it is wide.
  • Square – your face is about as wide as it is long.
  • Heart – Narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones/and or forehead.
  • Diamond – Widest at cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw line of approximately equal widths.

The chart below seemed a good guide for determining your face-shape as well.

If this all seems a little daunting, Leta will do it for you when you meet with her for a consultation. Not only will she relay your face shape, but she will also give you individualized information on how to put your look together to accentuate the most attractive features of your face – including types of clothing that would best suite you.

Washing your face without proper cleansing is like mopping your floor without rinsing the mop.  You are just pushing the dirt around; it may look better, but is it really clean?  No routine will work if you don’t cleanse properly. I hesitate to say, “routine” as it has an image of 9 products in front of you. You will find that our system is very different, cleanse, moisturize and repeat–simple. Cleansing, to produce fabulous skin, removes the flaky skin, the oils and bacteria from touching your face after who knows what you touched and then placed on your chin. Then there’s whatever floated through the air, are you grossed out yet? As you get hot from sweat, hormones or getting kids bathed, your pours open up. As you cool down they shut, like little doors, closing in whatever they have been exposed to. When you have a makeover with me, I explain proper cleansing so that whatever is put on after is not “cover up” but rather protection for your skin.  No makeup will look fabulous over a dirty palette.
