My face is kind of round and not very angular. Any makeup tricks to make it appear slimmer and more angular?

I don't think any makeup will do the trick, but the right hairstyle might.
Round Face
Full-looking face with a round chin and hairline. Widest point is at the cheeks and ears.
Try
hair styles with fullness and height at the crown. Off center parts. Short hair styles with a swept-back direction or hair styles that are longer than chin length. By layering the top to achieve fullness and keeping the rest of the cut relatively close to the face, your face shape will appear longer and narrower.
Avoid
Chin length hair with a rounded line that mirrors face’s circular shape. Center parts. Short-short crops, straight "chopped" bangs. Fullness at side of ears. A rounded haircut ending at the chin will certainly add weight to your face shape. Because the widest part of your face is at the cheeks and ears, you need to avoid having the fullness of the cut here as it will make your face appear wider.
good luck :)

Apply a slightly darker shade of foundation to the underside of your chin and your neck, up to your ears, be care full with this tho, make it look natural. Shape your eyebrows to fit your face, out of place eye brows can make your face really wide or even skinny, Sorry I'm not sure exactly what would work for you tho. Check the Internet for brow shapes or go to a cosmetologist

Make up is supposed to bring out your best qualities. The main thing that will seem to alter the shape of your face is your hairstyle. You can check out some blush/powder techniques, but really, they're pointless. I know you may not want to hear it, but play up what you have and don't worry so much with what you don't.

Put a light shadow in your nose like a beige or slightly white. Also put blush in your cheeks going up not in round circles. Suck up your face like a fish kiss when you do this. Also they way that your hair is cut is very important.

I wear my hair behind my ears and then pinned to the side. Less bulk on the sides looks better. I also do the blush thing described above, more on the back of the cheek than forward.

I have heard that you shouldn't line the inside lids of your eyes. it makes your eyes look smaller and your face larger. I still line mine that way but I use a smudge liner so that I can still kinda have that little bit of goth look, but not to the extreme. You need to bring out your eyes and draw all attention to them. Fake eyelashes are cool so get some and practice!

Use square/rectangular framed glasses on a round face. (and the reverse - round on an sqaure/angular face.
Not sure why it looks better, but it does.

If you have long hair, allow your hair to go in front of your ears...it gets rid of the cheeks a little, and makes your face look a little slimmer. oh yea...I'm a guy.
