Lets look at the different kinds of faces so as to specify, which beard for which face.

2 – Choosing the best beard
> Shapes of the faces

• The Square-Cut Look

> Objective : 

For the square jawed look you need to reduce the square look by softening the facelines and reducing the sharp angles.

> For example with a moustache or a goatee, the goatee can widen or lengthen the face thus giving the face a more balanced look.

So opt for a moustache or goatee

> Avoid :
Beards especially the thick bushy type.

 

• Oval face

> Objective :  

With an oval shaped face, except for very long ones, you can wear all types of beards and follow the latest fashions.

> Careful :
Nevertheless to balance your look, avoid too voluminous hair styles which can lengthen your face too much.

> For a dynamic look, grow a chin patch, 2 or 3 day beard, thick moustache or a sculptured beard.

> Avoid :
Long beards or goatees.

 

• Round Face 

> Objective : 

A round face can be lengthened for good effect with a beard.
The beard and its shadow giving the impression of a longer face.

> A 10 day beard gives the best effect, or a goatee with  longer chin hairs and a short moustache.

> Avoid :
Thick moustaches or heavy cheek hair.
Make sure not to shave too closely as this makes the face look fat.

 

• Long Face

> Objective : 

To balance a long face wear a short beard with a moustache.

> Opt rather for different moustache styles, with heavy cheek hair to fill out the face and short beards.

> Avoid :
Goatees and long beards
Avoid chin beards and goatees which make the face look longer.
