A well-groomed beard is more than just facial hair—it's a statement of style and character. But the key to looking your best? Choosing a beard style that complements your face shape is essential for achieving a polished look. Whether you're sculpting a bold new look or refining your current style, The Art of Shaving has the grooming essentials and expertise to elevate your grooming routine.
Identify Your Face Shape
Before selecting a beard style, determine your face shape. Common categories include:
- Oval: Balanced and symmetrical—most styles suit this shape.
- Square: Strong jawline—benefits from a full beard or circle beard.
- Round: Soft features—lengthen the face with a goatee or anchor beard.
- Rectangle/Oblong: Long face—opt for fuller cheeks to add width.
- Diamond: Narrow chin and forehead—a chinstrap or goatee works well.
Beard Styles by Face Shape
Oval Face
You're in luck—most beard styles will flatter your proportions. Try a short boxed beard or a classic full beard for a timeless look. Use our Pre-Shave Oil to prep and protect your skin before shaping.
Square Face
Balance your strong jaw with a circle beard or a slightly rounded full beard. The Beard Balm helps soften thick facial hair and control flyaways for a polished finish.
Round Face
Add definition by elongating your look. A Van Dyke or goatee can create the illusion of length. Define edges precisely using Beard Conditioner to control and style with clarity.
Rectangle or Oblong Face
Soften and balance the length of your face with fuller sides—think cheek beards or classic mutton chops. Maintain a healthy, well-groomed beard with Beard Wash for cleansing, softness, and manageability.
Diamond Face
Accentuate your jawline with a chinstrap beard or anchor style. Use the Shaving Cream for a smooth sculpting experience and a rich lather that protects sensitive skin.
Finish with the Right Tools
No matter your beard style, proper maintenance is key—nourish and tame your beard with Premium Beard Oil for a healthy, polished finish.
