Round shape- round hairline and round chin line; wide face. |
Sqaure shape- straight hairline and square jawline; wide face. |
Oblong shape- Long narrow face with hollow cheeks.
Make the face appear shorter & wider by styling it fairly close to the top of the head with fringe, curls or bangs. Add fullness to the sides, drawing the hair out from the cheeks creates illusion of width.
