If I had to guess I would say 9 out of 10 women who answered the question above answered, round? Next time you ask yourself this question (or you’re searching for a great new haircut), keep this in mind; No amount of weight loss or weight gain can change the shape of your face. It will simply be a smaller or larger version of what it actually is. So, enhance your natural beauty and natural face shape by choosing a style that brings out your amazingly beautiful features. It’s all about balance, loves!
ROUND
Famous Round Face Shapes: Charlize Threron, Ginnifer Goodwin, Selena Gomez
Round face shapes is the same width and length which creates a circular shape. Your forehead and jawline are similar in width and your chin is rounded in shape with no to very minimal hard lines or angles. Your jawline is round and full in shape, your forehead is wide and round at the hairline and your face it’s widest at your cheekbones. This creates a very symmetrical shape and usually features high cheekbones and, guess what? It all around creates a very youthful look!
FIND YOUR BALANCE: middle parts, short cuts, styles with height and face framing are a few suggestions to enhance your round face
SQUARE
Famous Square Face Shapes: Cameron Diaz, Olivia Wilde, Angelina Jolie
Square face shapes are very balanced in regard to length and width. Your forehead and jawline are similar in width, your chin is obviously square and/or flat, your jawline is strong and broad, your cheeks and the sides of your face are straight, and your forehead is broad and more than likely straight around the hairline.
FIND YOUR BALANCE: soft fringe, volume, movement and avoid harsh lines around the jawline to enhance your square face
HEART
Famous Heart Face Shapes: Reese Whitherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Kourtney Kardashian
Heart-shaped faces will have longer, pointed jawlines, chins are a more narrow part of the face and is similar to an upside down triangle with softer lines. Your face shape has more length than it does width, but your forehead and jawline are similar in width. Your cheek bones graduate into your jawline, your forehead is wide and round at the hairline and your cheekbones are very pronounced.
FIND YOUR BALANCE: full hairstyles, height at the crown, slick it back for an elegant emphasized look
OBLONG
Famous Oblong Face Shapes: Sarah Jessica Parker, Hilary Swank, Liv Tyler
Oblong faces are noticeably longer than they are wide. They typically have flat cheekbones, more narrow mid-face and may have a long chin or forehead. Avoiding face framing or anything that will lengthen the shape is typically recommended.
FIND YOUR BALANCE: volume and width at neckline, volume and width at cheekbone, side parts off set length of face, layers should emphasize width and avoid emphasizing length (keep layers at midsection)
OVAL
Famous Oval Face Shapes: Jaime Lee Curtis, Jessica Alba, Salma Hayek
Notice all of these famous ladies have been known to change their style up with all lengths, shapes and styles. There’s no length or fringe too heavy for this face shape! This shape is slightly wider at the cheekbones and the jawline is softly rounded.
FIND YOUR BALANCE: tousled shoulder-length brings attention to your perfect proportions while maintaining length, side-part bob gives you a trendy and flirty look and pixies show off your oval face shape
