Use a color that is one to two shades darker than your skin tone. Try not to use anything shimmery. If you don’t have bronzer, you can use a matte, brown eyeshadow instead. Use a warm brown if you have a warm undertone and a cool brown if you have a cool undertone. [5] X Research source [6] X Research source

Consider plucking or waxing your eyebrows to give them a natural-looking arch. This will give your face a more angled look.

If you are wearing your hair in an up-do, you can frame your face by wearing some long earrings.

You can pile your hair up on top of your hair in a high ponytail or ballerina bun; this will make your face appear longer. You can also try a half-up ponytail, where only the hair above your eye level is in a ponytail and the rest of your hair is down.

Make a fish face by sucking in your cheeks and pursing your lips. Hold this for a few seconds. Tilt your head back so your chin points toward the ceiling. Drop your lower jaw and then raise it up. Hold this position for a few seconds while you stretch your neck. Shift your gaze to the left for a few seconds, then to the right. Shut your eyes tightly and scrunch up your face for a few seconds, then open it as wide as you are able to.
