Rectangular Face: Rectangular shape is long and narrow with hollow cheeks. There is very little difference in width between the top, middle or bottom of your face but it is more rounded than the square face. Your goal should be to add width and fullness to the sides of the face and around the eyes, cheekbones and ears. The basic purpose of make-up skills for a rectangular face is to minimize the look of fullness in the forehead, jaw and chin.

Concealer: Using a cosmetic sponge, apply a cream concealer under the eyes, blending it all the way out to the cheekbones. You can also place a bit of concealer in the middle of your forehead, across your nose and above your lip.

Foundation: Dab the foundation on the skin with a sponge, covering the temples, the jaw line and the chin. Blend the foundation into the sides of the forehead and the frontal bone of the eye.

Final Touch: Apply powder below the cheekbone, including the jawbone and the chin. This helps to soften the look of fullness in the face. You may also bring the powder right under the neck. Apply blush from the back of the cheekbone forward. Stop at the outer corner of the eye. Get a lighter colour blush and loosely brush the makeup a little closer into the apple of the cheeks.
