Your face is wide at the forehead, with high cheek-bones, tapering to a narrow chin and slightly longer than wide.

The only difference between the heart and inverted triangle face shape is that a heart shape face has a widow's peak.



Your main style aims are...

...To make your forehead appear narrower and add width at your jaw-line and chin.

Hairstyles for Your Face Shape

Go for...

  • Hairstyles that are close to your face above your ears, with soft lines partially covering your ears

  • Center parting

  • A soft style with light bangs (fringe) covering your forehead

  • Soft waves and curly styles

  • Styles that add volume at the jaw-line

Avoid...
  • Pulling your hair back off your forehead

  • Styles that are full at the temples

  • Straight bangs (fringe)

  • Too much height on top of your head

  • A low side parting

Eyeglasses for Your Face Shape

The best glasses for your face shape are...

  • Frames that add width below your eyeline

  • Round or oval frames with soft curves or an upward sweep

  • Low arms

  • Light to medium colored frames and rimless styles

Hats

  • Look for hats with a prominent crown to make your forehead appear narrower

  • Wear a hat on an angle

Makeup

  • Apply a slightly darker shade of foundation at the temples to make your forehead appear narrower

  • Apply a light shade of foundation on either side of the jaw-line to make your jaw-line appear wider
