Identifying Your Facial Shape


Before enhancing your beauty, you need to identify your facial shape. The most common shapes include:


  • Oval: Balanced proportions, slightly wider cheekbones, gently tapering jawline.

  • Round: Equal width and height, soft curves, fuller cheeks.

  • Square: Strong jawline, broad forehead, and cheekbones of similar width.

  • Heart: Wider forehead, high cheekbones, narrow chin.

  • Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline, wide cheekbones.

  • Long/Rectangular: Longer than it is wide, with a straight cheek line.


To find your shape, pull your hair back and trace the outline of your face in a mirror or take a selfie. Measure the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, then compare these to your face length.


Enhancing an Oval Face


The oval face is often considered the ideal shape because of its balanced proportions. Most styles suit this shape, but you can still enhance your features by:


  • Hairstyles: Try soft waves or layers that frame your face without overwhelming it. Avoid heavy bangs that hide your forehead.

  • Makeup: Use contouring lightly to emphasize cheekbones. Highlight the center of your face to maintain balance.

  • Accessories: Choose earrings that are longer than they are wide, such as teardrop or oval shapes.


Enhancing a Round Face


Round faces benefit from styles that add length and definition:


  • Hairstyles: Opt for hairstyles with height and volume at the crown. Long layers or side-swept bangs create angles.

  • Makeup: Contour the sides of your face and under your cheekbones to add definition. Highlight the center of your face.

  • Accessories: Angular earrings like rectangles or geometric shapes help elongate the face.


Enhancing a Square Face


Square faces have strong jawlines and broad foreheads. Softening these features can create a more balanced look:


  • Hairstyles: Choose styles with layers or curls that soften the jawline. Side parts and waves add movement.

  • Makeup: Contour the jawline and temples to reduce sharpness. Use blush on the apples of your cheeks to add softness.

  • Accessories: Round or oval earrings contrast with the angular jawline.

Enhancing a Heart-Shaped Face


Heart-shaped faces have a wider forehead and narrow chin. Balancing these proportions is key:


  • Hairstyles: Side-swept bangs and chin-length bobs draw attention away from the forehead. Avoid styles that add volume at the crown.

  • Makeup: Contour the forehead and highlight the chin to balance the face. Use blush on the lower cheeks.

  • Accessories: Choose earrings that are wider at the bottom, such as teardrops or chandeliers.


Enhancing a Diamond Face


Diamond faces have wide cheekbones and narrow forehead and jawline. The goal is to soften the cheekbones and add width to the forehead and jaw:


  • Hairstyles: Try chin-length bobs or shoulder-length waves. Side parts help reduce the width of the cheekbones.

  • Makeup: Contour the cheekbones lightly and highlight the forehead and jawline.

  • Accessories: Oval or curved earrings soften the angular cheekbones.


Enhancing a Long or Rectangular Face


Long faces benefit from styles that add width and reduce length:


  • Hairstyles: Choose styles with volume on the sides, such as curls or waves. Avoid long, straight hair that elongates the face.

  • Makeup: Use contouring on the forehead and chin to shorten the face visually. Highlight the cheeks.

  • Accessories: Round or wide earrings add width.

Practical Tips for All Facial Shapes

Eyebrows

Shape your eyebrows to complement your face. For example, round faces benefit from high arches, while square faces look good with softer, curved brows.

Glasses

Choose frames that balance your face shape. Round faces suit angular frames, while square faces look good with round or oval frames.

Necklaces

V-shaped necklaces elongate the neck and face, while round necklaces add softness.
