Round
Sorry, ladies. You apparently fall in line with us, according to
Prieto, who has essentially vetoed the idea of fringe for this
specific genetic scenario if only so the wandering eye can see more
face, thus preventing a shorter, fuller, wider appearance.
Diamond
Noting that this shape is more angular overall, Prieto recommends
working a short, side-swept look to soften stronger facial
contours.
Heart
In order to properly offset the pointy chin and wide forehead here,
Prieto suggests keeping bangs narrow and making sure they do not
extend past the outside of the eye.
Triangle
Even though we’re having some difficulty visualizing what a
triangle-shaped face actually looks like, Prieto describes it as a
narrow forehead with fuller jaw line and suggests that these poor
souls are ripe for a set of bangs, which, if kept full and wide,
should create the illusion of more balanced proportions.
Oblong
The goal here is to create width through the side of the face, says
Prieto, who maintains that longer, side-swept bangs will complement
the narrow, drawn-out shape of this face. Making sure that the
bangs fall on or near the cheekbone will also yield better
results.
