Styles to Flatter Your Triangle Face Shape
or Pear Face Shape

Your face is broad and square at the jaw-line, tapering to a relatively narrow forehead.

If your jaw-line is rounded, rather than square, you have a pear face shape.

If you are male, you may have a chiselled looking face.



Your main style aims are...

...To minimise your jaw-line and add width at your temples.

Hairstyles for Your Triangle Face Shape

Go for…

  • Styles that add a little height and width at the temples

  • Cover part or all of the ears

  • Keep hair close to the head at the jaw-line

  • Side parting

  • Irregular layers and wispy styles

  • Long bangs (fringe) swept to the side

  • Full and fluffy bangs (fringe)

Avoid...

  • Adding width at the jaw-line

  • Center parting

  • Hair close to the temples

  • Very short on top

Eyeglasses for Your Face Shape

Your best styles have the following characteristics...

  • Frames that have design detail and color at the top of the frame

  • Frames that are heavy at the top

  • Frames with cat-eye or oval shapes

  • Frames slightly wider than your temples

See this page for more tips on choosing eyeglasses that suit you.

Hats

  • Any style that adds width at the forehead

  • Asymmetric brims and crowns with some height are good to draw attention upwards

Makeup Tips

  • Apply a darker shade of foundation on the chin and jaw areas

  • Apply a lighter shade of foundation at the sides of your forehead

  • Apply blush from the apple (ball) of your cheekbones in a V shape towards your temples
