How should you contour a square face shape?

  1. Contouring down from the cheekbone to the lower portion of the face

  2. Contour under chin, and horizontally at hairline and temples

  3. Shade below the cheekbones to reduce width

  4. Add width to forehead with highlighting and contour cheekbones

The correct answer is: Shade below the cheekbones to reduce width

Contouring down from the cheekbone to the lower portion of the face (option A) would emphasize the squareness of the face shape. Contouring under the chin, at the hairline, and temples (option B) would make the face appear even wider. Adding width to the forehead with highlighting and contouring the cheekbones (option D) would also enhance the squareness of the face. The best option for contouring a square face shape is to shade below the cheekbones to reduce width, as it creates a more angular and balanced look.
