pointed chin or narrow jaw-line. Hearts also have cute cherubic cheeks when they
smile.

Long |
|
Features - Long faces
are quite a bit longer than they are broad, they are usually very
thin and have good bone structure. High, long cheekbones are a
common feature.
Famous
Longs - Sarah Jessica Parker,
Eva Green
Suits - Unlike most others,
long-shaped faces can get away with just about any fringe.
Things to Avoid - Letting your hair become
too long - it enchances rather than hides your face length.

part of an ovals face is their forehead, then it gets gradually
thinner as it goes down, with the chin being the slimmest part.
Famous
Ovals -
Elizabeth Hurley, Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Christina Aguilera
Suits - Almost any style - all the
tricks used on other face shapes are to make them look more oval. Low side
buns look excellent on oval faces.

Round |
|
Features - Round faces
have about the same lengths as their breadths.
They,also like hearts, have cute chubby cheeks when the smile.
Forehead and cheeks are about the same width.
Famous Rounds
-
Cameron Diaz, Jean Harlow, Kirsten Dunst
Suits - Long sweeping bangs like
Cameron's. Face-framing layers.
Things to Avoid - A full,
eye-skimming fringe - they hit the wrong part of the face and the fullness will
make the face look wider too.

Square |
|
Features - The line
from the forehead to the jaw is very straight, then it goes into
quite a strong angular jaw. Sometimes the face can also be dominated
by a strong forehead also.
Famous
Squares -
Sandra Bullock, Mena Suvari, Audrey Hepburn, Jennifer
Aniston, Minnie Driver, Keira Knightley
Suits - Strong jaw lines and bone
structures are common with lots of top models, just look at all the ad campaigns
around; but if your not so confident rocking your strong features opt for
face-framing layers that help to disguise them. Waves also have a great
softening effect
Things to Avoid - A Halle
Berry-style crop
