"The cute little face-shape illustrations in our &amp;quot;Blush: Tips for Doing It Right&amp;quot; story in this month&amp;amp;#8217;s issue got me thinking that some of you may not be positive if you&amp;amp;#8217;re a square, round, oval or long. I wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t blame you&amp;amp;#8212;the whole thing can be as confusing as a set of Ikea instructions. So if you&amp;amp;#8217;re still not certain which category you fall into, this is how you can figure it out in about 10 seconds:Take a look at yourself either in a picture where you&amp;amp;#8217;re looking right at the camera or in a mirror. Then see which shape category from our blush story best describes your face. It&amp;amp;#8217;s not an exact science&amp;amp;#8212;just go with the one that&amp;amp;#8217;s the closest fit. Hint: Lifting up your bangs will help make this process easier. You&amp;#x27;re oval like Rihanna if your face is a bit longer than it is wide, yet the line of your cheekbones is noticeably wider than the rest of your face. You&amp;amp;#8217;re square like Jessica Simpson if the width of your forehead, cheeks and jawline is roughly equal. You&amp;amp;#8217;re long like Sarah Jessica Parker if your face is quite thin and much longer&amp;amp;#8212;about one-and-a-half times&amp;amp;#8212;than it is wide. You&amp;amp;#8217;re round like Kirsten Dunst if the width of your cheekbones is roughly equal to the length of your face and your chin and forehead are tapered. This face shape generally has soft angles. And here&amp;#x27;s a bonus fifth group (commonly lumped in with the round faces): You&amp;amp;#8217;re heart like Reese Witherspoon if your forehead is about the same width as or just slightly narrower than your cheekbones while your chin is tapered. There you go&amp;amp;#8212;all the big categories broken down for you. I&amp;amp;#8217;m a heart shape. Which one are you? Be sure to check out that blush story on page 122 in our January issue. And weigh in here on the cream vs. powder blush debate!
