The app draws where to contour, highlight and blush for your exact face shape - and shows the technique.
How AI Contour Makeup Works
AI contour makeup generators scan your selfie to detect your face shape, key features, and skin undertone. This allows for precise, personalized contour placement rather than guesswork. On this page, you can use the free AI makeup analyzer to detect your face shape (oval, round, square, heart, oblong, or diamond) directly in your browser - your photo never leaves your device.
Contour Placement by Face Shape
- Round: Contour the temples, under cheekbones, and jawline. Apply blush high on the cheekbones to lift.
- Square: Soften the jaw corners and forehead corners with contour. Blush can be swept upwards on the cheeks.
- Heart: Contour the temples and sides of the forehead, apply blush on the apples of the cheeks, and use a light touch on the chin.
- Oblong: Contour hairline and chin to visually shorten the face. Apply blush horizontally on the cheeks.
- Diamond: Contour the points of the cheekbones, highlight the center of the forehead and chin.
- Oval: Minimal contouring - just under the cheekbones for subtle definition.
Choosing the Right Contour Shade
Contour shade intensity and undertone should match your natural coloring. For fair skin, use a cool taupe or soft brown. For medium to deep skin, opt for warmer, richer browns. The AI analyzer also detects your skin undertone, helping you select shades that blend seamlessly.
