How to Shape Your Beard

Choose the Right Style:

The ultimate goal of your beard style is to add contrast and dimension to your face. Different face shapes should highlight certain facial features—not every style looks great on every guy. First thing’s first: you need to know what your face shape is. Take a look in the mirror and access your features to determine if you have a square, round, oval, or rectangular face shape. Now that you’ve got that sorted, here’s how to choose the right style for your face.

Square: show off that strong jawline

If you have a squared-off jawline and not too many curves, you have a square shape. To accentuate this shape, shave or trim with sharp, precise lines near your cheekbones. Keep your beard short on the sides and fuller on your chin to take advantage of your square jawline.

A round face is one in which all your features are roughly the same height and width. To add some dimension, slim your face with an angled shave along your cheekbones. Keeping hair full on your chin will also help.
