Now I know you want me to tell you something about hairstyles
Remember that your hair is the frame for your face
The ideal facial contour, is supposed to be the Oval.
but some of us have round face, or
square faces or long faces !
So what can we do to make our faces appear a little more oval?
Let's start with round faces
Here's a face that lacks a little in length and has a little too much
width for the cheek bones for a good oval.
Now let's see what can be done to make it look better
or worse !
First, let's take hair
A feather cut wouldn't be too bad on this face, if kept in hand.
but an overgrown feather cut gives too much hair at the sides
and on the forehead, and adds to the effect of roundness.
And this is a typical example of how NOT to wear your lipstick
with emphasis on quantity rather than quality.
You never saw a natural mouth like that !
One other point to round faces.
Don't wear too high a neckline or a large bow at the neck.
It shortens the neck, and increases the effect of roundness.
Now, let's start over again and see the right way !
Here is a very good hairdo for this type of face.
with the hair well off the forehead and flat against the temples.
The lipstick is applied correctly to follow the natural mouth line.
A V neck completes the picture and gives a little more neck length
to help the round face look oval.
You see, there's quite a difference between this
and this !
Now let's take square face
This face is really very similar to round face
except that it has additional width to the jaw.
With such a face, keep away from a hairdo like this
With bangs that take away from the length and hair hanging
to the jaw line, that over emphasize the squareness.
and these thin straight lips emphasize the width of the jaw.
the straight across sweater line just serves to
square the whole thing off, which is wrong of course !
Now let's start over and do it right
This hairstyle helps to take away from the shortness of the face
and the squareness of the jaw.
This girl has thin lips
so she follows the general lip line
but fills out the lower lip slightly with her lipstick.
and the wears the same neck line as round face
to give her neck added length !
When finished, there's a vast difference between the wrong
and the right
The third type of face is that which is long and narrow
and frequently a long neck goes with it.
Of course, this hairdo is all wrong
because the hair piled on top of the head, adds to the length of face
and because it's close at the side, it makes the face appear narrower.
This vivid lipstick on thin lips
gives the mouth a rather hard look
The wrong effect is completed by a V neck,
that again adds to the impression of length.
The same girl, to make the most of her long face
should wear her hair like this.
Off the top of the head and fluffed out at the sides for added width.
And she may still add to her lips if she can do it artistically
A high neck line or a choke of beads will help to detract from the long neck.
So, instead of looking like this
she looks like this !
