Men with rounder face shapes should opt for fuller beard styles like the Garibaldi beard – named for General Giuseppe Garibaldi who was instrumental in unifying Italy. This look requires more maintenance so be sure to stock up on grooming products beforehand.
Triangle
Men with triangle face shapes should use a beard that covers their cheeks and jawline to add weight and balance to their features. A full beard that covers these areas should also be neatly trimmed to remove sideburns; any beard styles that make the chin appear pointier, like mutton chop or Van Dyke beard styles should also be avoided as these will exacerbate them further.
Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper both possess triangle facial features; it is relatively uncommon among other individuals. Although beards help balance out its small chin and wide forehead, more feminine pompadours or faux-hawks may work just as well if kept short and neatly trimmed; bangs also add width towards the chin – therefore hairstyles such as bobs with long fringes or even layers can work best on triangle face shapes.
Heart
Heart-shaped (or inverted triangle) faces, also known as inverted triangles, feature a wide forehead that narrows into a pointed chin. To accentuate their delicate beauty and create the look, opt for a hairstyle such as choppy bob. Additionally, L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Boost It Elastic Mousse may provide additional volume and definition that complement this classic look.
Bangs can also help balance out a heart-shaped face by downplaying forehead width. Wispy bangs work especially well; for a more elegant look try Katie Holmes’ lash-grazing fringe or longer curtain bangs for more sophistication.
Men with heart-shaped faces can pull off both short quiff and faded undercut styles with ease, featuring shorter locks on the sides and back, with longer locks on top that can be styled in various ways. Messy wavy hair also works wonderfully to soften this unique facial feature.
Square
If you possess a narrow jawline with sharp angles, a square face may be what’s calling out to you. Facial hair styles that suit this facial structure could either accent this angularity by emphasizing its sharp edges or balance them by adding rounded corners; as such, beard styles that add too much fullness on cheeks and sides of face should be avoided as much as possible; examples would be circle beard, Van Dyke beard or goatee with stubble looks suitable.
Add some flair to your facial hair with a chevron mustache. This look is easy to achieve manually; for added effect use a Braun precision trimmer attachment for regular trimming of both beard and mustache. Alternatively, clean shaving will draw more attention to your strong jawline, creating a distinctive appearance which works alone or alongside beardstache, goatee or Van Dyke beard styles.
Oval
Oval face shapes are well balanced in terms of symmetry and proportions, which makes them great candidates for any number of facial hair styles. A thick stubble works particularly well, helping frame both cheeks and jawline while adding rugged masculine edges to one’s appearance.
The chevron moustache is an eye-catching beard style for oval faces that can be styled a variety of ways. For instance, you could grow it wider for an eye-catching statement look or shorter for more tailored lines.
Short circular beards are another ideal option for oval faces, made popular by Hollywood actor Brad Pitt’s use of it in 1999’s Fight Club movie. A precision trimmer attachment can easily trim it for a well-groomed finish and it helps frame your jawline without making it appear boxy.
