Haircuts and hairstyles for Diamond-shaped faces

With the help of a properly chosen hairstyle, the wide cheekbones of the owners of this type can be hidden with hair. Lush curls falling down your cheeks to your shoulders will look very attractive. But you shouldn’t grow long straight hair and comb it behind your ears - this will further widen your cheekbones and highlight facial imperfections. Central partings are also contraindicated - a side parting would be more appropriate.

Hairstyles with volume at the level of the cheekbones should be avoided. But the volume at the height of the top of the ears or chin will be very useful. It will widen a narrow forehead or lower jaw. The most ideal hairstyle is a side parting, medium-length hair and curls at chin level. For medium hair, you can generally choose many hairstyles that widen downwards.

For lovers of short haircuts, lush straight bangs with a semicircular shape are suitable. It will make the forehead wider, rounder and more proportional. It is voluminous bangs that look good; you should not make them flat and too smooth. You can comb your bangs slightly to the side. As an option, a voluminous bob with chin-length side bangs. Another option for a short haircut is a hairstyle with volume on top. Hair can be casually lifted up using styling mousses.

Features of haircuts for diamond-shaped faces

So, if you are one of those with a “precious” face, the most important thing to do is to choose a suitable hairstyle. With all this, the haircut can be either short or long.

The main thing to note is that you need to trim the cheek area so that you get a soft line that narrows your cheekbones. The forehead, on the contrary, should remain open. These rules will help to advantageously express facial features and bring it closer to the oval type, which is considered ideal.

What hairstyles are contraindicated for women with a diamond type? The first thing to remember is short haircuts with a lot of volume at the top of the head, especially without bangs. On the contrary, this hairstyle will widen your face.

Haircuts that leave the neck and jaw area bare are also undesirable. A straight parting is also not suitable.

Diamond Face: Hairstyles for Different Lengths

As mentioned earlier, women who have a diamond-shaped face can choose haircuts of different lengths.

Short hairstyles are characterized by side bangs combined with a side parting. Thanks to this haircut, bangs visually make the face smaller, opening and enlarging the narrowed forehead, while placing emphasis on the eyes.

For women with medium length hair, uneven haircuts with side bangs, as well as hairstyles with a side parting and curling curls slightly below the chin, are perfect.

As for long hair , in this case you should definitely avoid parting in the center of the head without bangs. Side parting is encouraged. Curled hair looks great, both with large and small curls. In this case, it is better to leave the hair fluffed up. There is definitely no need to comb your hair back! This will open the cheekbones, which is of course unacceptable.

Note that the owners of the diamond are such famous actresses as Freida Pinto, Halle Berry, Emily Green, Vanessa Hudgens, Selma Blair.

Creating a hairstyle for a diamond-shaped face is not easy. It is especially difficult to choose a successful, suitable haircut for women with thin and curly hair.

The bob hairstyle will look most effective in this case. This haircut does not lose its relevance and harmonizes wonderfully when dyed in all golden and warm tones. A cascade haircut with straight bangs is also suitable. For thin and curly hairstyles, it is recommended to use mousse or foam during styling.

The best haircuts for square faces are here.

Diamond bangs – which one to choose?

Bangs are important for a diamond-shaped face. Experts recommend asymmetrical bangs, similar to Cameron Diaz's. This option will be the most successful choice.

You can also get bangs to help hide your eyebrows. Only this is suitable mainly for owners of thin and light hair. The main thing is that the bangs themselves are not completely smooth and straight along the line of the forehead. If your hair is thick and even, then bangs below eyebrow level will be inappropriate.

Of course, it is also important for the diamond type to choose the right makeup, jewelry and other accessories. Each of these parameters perfectly optimizes the image as a whole.

For example, choosing glasses is very difficult. They should be the same width as the width of the cheekbones. Large glasses and voluminous frames are required. A square or oval shape is usually suitable. It will be a plus if the glasses are curved at the top or widened at the top - this will help correct a narrowed forehead line.

The color of the product itself is of great importance. It is better to buy an accessory with a multi-colored frame. But small and narrow glasses are definitely not suitable! It is quite possible that this option will be invisible due to wide cheekbones and will not be in harmony with the shape of the face.

We invite you to watch a video from Marina Lavrinchuk’s beauty school about diamond correction:

Jewelry: earrings, pendants, beads, necklace

Those with a diamond-shaped face should choose earrings carefully. The best earrings are earrings with a voluminous lower part or earrings that gradually widen towards the bottom. For example, earrings in the shape of drops, triangles or pears are suitable.

Short and wide earrings will also look good. Slightly elongated rings will also work. You can wear oval earrings, the main thing is to avoid too narrow and long pendants. It is better not to wear stud earrings - they can get lost on your face.

There is no need to be afraid of large and massive pendants if they are triangular in shape. These earrings will add width to the lower part of the face and make it more harmonious and feminine.

As for beads and necklaces, it is better to choose rounded shapes that fit as closely as possible to the neck. This will visually round and soften the contours of the face. Avoid wearing chains with heavy pendants or V-shaped necklaces. This will only emphasize a pointed, narrow chin.

Women with curly and thin hair: tips

• It is very difficult to choose a hairstyle for women who have curly hair and a diamond-shaped face. But even in this case, a bob hairstyle will save the situation. It still remains relevant and modern, and looks great on curly, fine hair. Combines harmoniously with parallel coloring in warm shades and golden colors.

• A cascade hairstyle with side bangs or bangs scattered on the sides will help to emphasize individuality. In order to style thin and curly hair, you need to use a styling mousse.

• You need to opt for asymmetrical bangs and bangs that hide the eyebrows, but not much lower than the level of eyebrow growth.

Styling

• Those with a diamond-shaped face can experiment with hairstyles. The main thing is to follow the basic rules for installation. There is no need to make a ponytail that is too high and tight. You can tie a relaxed ponytail exactly in the middle of your head. It is advisable to leave a couple of strands on both sides and lightly curl them, covering your cheekbones.

• If you really want to braid a braid, then it should be with a wide weave and, just like with a ponytail, you need to release two strands on the sides of your face. Two braids need to be woven asymmetrically. The braid can be sideways, openwork, turned inward. Ladies with long hair and medium-length curls can afford braids and other weavings.

• Professionals give a lot of useful advice, following which women will always look irresistible. A diamond-shaped face requires a visual increase in the chin. This can be done by creating large curls, multi-layered or stepped hairstyles. One of these hairstyles is a cascade.

• You can create a unique image using “artistic clutter” on your head. Carelessness gives individuality to every woman, but the volume of the hairstyle should fall on the lower third of the face.

• Strands released on the sides of the face will help to bring the “diamond” shape closer to the “oval”. Such strands will help balance all parts of the face and make them proportional to each other.

• Lush bangs, swept to the side or curled in a single wave, can help make a narrow forehead appear a little wider. It is important to remember that lush bangs are suitable, not thick ones, so sometimes you need to remove excess thickness using special scissors.

• An updo with a little volume at the top will help elongate a diamond-shaped face.

• Proper hair coloring will also help you achieve ideal visual shapes: complex coloring, gradient transitions, smooth transitions of shades will help you get closer to the ideal - an oval face.

Considering all the advice given above, we can come to the conclusion that the optimal hair length is shoulder-length. The hairstyle should be fluffy on top, but without fanaticism, with curled curls and oblique fluffy bangs. The hairstyle should be careless and light; the severity and clarity of the lines will only highlight all the imperfections of the face.

Every woman can be irresistible, especially using little tricks and advice from professionals. The right hairstyle and styling will help a woman make her look unforgettable.

Makeup and eyebrow shape for Diamond face shape

The main goal of makeup for women with a diamond shape is to narrow the cheekbones and widen the chin, making the face more oval and proportional. To do this you should:

• » Apply a dark tone or dark-colored powder to the outer side of the cheekbones, moving from the center of the cheekbones to the top of the ears;
• » apply a lighter tone to the chin and forehead, because light shades visually add width;
• » Apply blush to the cheekbones, drawing lines up to the middle of the ears;
• » use blush that is not too bright, it is better to choose soft shades;
• » carefully blend all transitions between tones, powder and blush, making them smooth;
• » place a strong emphasis on the eyes and lips, thereby diverting attention from the cheekbones and chin;
• » visually expand your lips using light shades of lipstick or gloss;
• » make the eyebrows either arched and soft, or with a slight bend, but in no case straight, because they will make the cheekbones even wider.

Round face: signs

There are only a few basic face shapes, but sometimes it can be difficult to determine yours. Round or oval face? Rectangular or “heart”? In each specific case, you should focus on different signs. If you have a round face (like Adele, Kate Winslet and Mila Kunis), the following conditions must match.

1

The length of your face is approximately equal to its width. Of course, there are no absolutely round faces, so in this case the semantic emphasis must be placed on the word “approximately”.

2

You have a rounded chin, not a sharp one.

3

The width of the cheekbones, forehead and jaw are approximately equal.

Additionally, a simple test can help determine your face shape.

Pull your hair into a ponytail, look straight into the mirror and apply a few dots of black eyeliner along your hairline and chin. If you connected the dots, what shape would you get? Round, square, oval? The answer will most likely be obvious.

Diamond face shape. Rhombus, diamond, diamond – makeup for a “precious” oval face

• Cleanse your face and apply moisturizing milk or toner. Ideally, use a foundation base;
• Apply foundation, BB or CC cream to the entire face;
• Apply a cream of a darker shade over the convex part of the cheekbones, or use a professional concealer;
• The middle of the chin and forehead should be highlighted with a contrasting pale highlight. To do this, you can use concealer or powder;
• Paint your eyebrows with a light brown or graphite shade of solid eyeshadow using a special angled brush with hard bristles (shades vary for brunettes, blondes and redheads);
• Apply a shadow base to your eyes, cover the eyelid with a milky coffee shade, and apply a cool brownish color to the outer corners to visually lift the shape of your eyes;
• Apply white matte shadow or highlighter (to your taste) under the eyebrow. Blend everything thoroughly to avoid contrasting transitions;
• Draw thin small arrows using a special felt-tip pen, pencil, liquid or gel eyeliner;
• Apply a base to your eyelashes and then your favorite voluminous mascara;
• Outline your lips with a pencil in a neutral shade, apply gloss or lipstick with a wet effect in a natural color;
• Finish off your makeup with a sand or peach blush.

Facial geometry: how to choose the shape of the eyebrows

Eyebrows have several types of shapes:

Each of these shapes can look different depending on the height of the eyebrow arch (the distance between the bottom and top points of the arch) and its width. The face shape is presented in a slightly larger number of options, and each has its own ideal eyebrow shape.

Oval face

This face shape is considered the most harmonious. Almost any eyebrows will suit its owners, but curved ones are best. Example: Halle Berry, Courteney Cox.

Long face

The oblong shape is well compensated by straight eyebrows - they create a balancing horizontal line. Sharp angles and pronounced roundness of the arches will make such a face more elongated. It is also important to have a sufficiently wide distance between the eyebrows so as not to focus the gaze of others on the bridge of the nose and thereby narrow the oval even more. Example: Sarah Jessica Parker.

Square face

This form is characterized by a somewhat heavy jawline. Eyebrows with an expressive bend will help compensate for this. The angle can be either sharp or soft, and the width of the eyebrows can be medium or thin. Example: Paris Hilton, Penelope Cruz, Marilyn Monroe.

Round face

This shape also requires angularity of the eyebrows: it does not need additional smoothness. Curved, clear lines will add the missing sculpture to the face. Example: Drew Barrymore, Charlotte Church.

Triangular or heart-shaped face

To balance out a face with a sharp chin, it's best to give your eyebrows a soft, rounded shape. The wider the face, the higher the brow arch can be. Example: Scarlett Johansson, Victoria Beckham.

Diamond-shaped, or “Diamond”

A distinctive feature of this form is pronounced cheekbones. To give your face a harmonious look, give your eyebrows a dramatic, arched shape of medium width. Example: Rihanna, Sophia Loren.

Diamond face shape. How to choose a men's hairstyle (haircut) for a square face

Before choosing a men's hairstyle for a square face, remember that such faces are very powerful. Men with a square face shape are best suited to hairstyles that visually draw the “square” upward. Not all hairstyles are suitable for this type. However, there are still quite a lot of men's haircuts for square faces, as opposed to oval ones.

If a man with a square face does not choose a hairstyle that suits him, then his face will look much thicker in the chin area.

A man with a round head and a square face without the right hairstyle will look like a barrel.

Thus, men with a square face type will benefit from a haircut where the hair around the ears is cut short, or a hairstyle that creates a non-square frame around the face and softens it.

Men's hairstyles for square faces should not be very short or very long, as such hair only spoils the overall picture.

Face shape diamond haircut. Noble “diamond”: correcting the shortcomings of a diamond-shaped face

• A classic cropped bob along the cheekbones will add contrast to the cheekbones and soften their natural width. The oblique bangs characteristic of this haircut will harmoniously shape the forehead, visually expanding it;
• If you want to create volume on your head, ask for a short bob with a raised crown. It is important that the curls go down from it and frame the cheeks - this way you will hide the narrowest part of the face, i.e. forehead, and slightly correct the protruding massive cheekbones;
• Try experimenting with a cascade. Torn haircuts work surprisingly well for a “diamond.” Especially if their shortest part falls on the contour of the lower jaw;
• If you are a fan of long hair, try making the well-known “ladder”. For women with a diamond-shaped face, uneven, multi-level haircuts are suitable, creating visual fullness of the hair;
• Long bangs that reach the very middle of your face will suit you. Oblique bangs with torn strands look especially beautiful;
• If your hair is porous and wavy and you can't afford a haircut that requires daily styling, an updo with a headband can be your savior. The main thing is to ensure the visual width of the forehead. This effect is easily achieved by creating root volume along the hairline;
• Wide, medium-length hairstyles are an excellent choice for girls with a “diamond” face shape;
• Straight partings and uniform hair lengths should be avoided. This will only highlight the flaws in your natural face shape.
