Pear-shaped face: choosing haircuts, makeup and accessories

An oval face shape is considered the most harmonious, however, if nature has endowed you with a pear-shaped one, you should not be upset. It's better to choose the right haircut, makeup, and get ready to receive compliments. Just like stars with a similar face shape do it.

The pear-shaped face is characterized by a small forehead and a massive chin against its background. Moreover, the latter usually has a rounded shape, which makes the face look like a pear fruit.

"Pear" is also a narrow oval face with a small forehead, which is why the chin, even though it is not massive in itself, seems exactly like that.

This type is characterized by massive, pronounced cheekbones. And if you draw straight lines from the temples to the chin, you get a trapezoid. That is why this form has another name - trapezoidal. However, this is not entirely true, since the "pear" is characterized by softness and roundness of the lines of the chin and cheeks. "Trapezium" is always angularity, rather rough facial features.

Physiognomists characterize people with this face shape as open, sociable, friendly.

The oval face shape is considered the most harmonious, therefore all other types are far from it, stylists recommend bringing it as close to the oval as possible. First of all, this helps to do, of course, the hairstyle.

When creating a hairstyle, you should avoid slicked hair in the crown and temples, as well as excessive splendor in the cheekbones and chin. It is wrong to wear hair of the same length, which will seem to fit the face, thereby enhancing the resemblance to the notorious fruit.Preference should be given to multi-layered haircuts, in which the bulk falls on the crown and temples.

Overly short haircuts for women that reveal the lower part of the face, as well as sleek hairstyles like a ponytail or buns are also not the best option for this type.

The "bob" hairstyle or an elongated version of it can be considered optimal for the "pear". In this case, it is important that the entire volume of the hair is above the cheekbone line. This can be problematic for owners of thick hair, since the bulk is still collected in the area of ​​the cheekbones and chin, which visually makes them heavier. The correct length is just below the cheekbones.

Different variations of the "square" will be a win-win option. Shorter strands on the crown, as well as a square with lengthening and on the leg, will help to give volume. Oblique or even thick bangs will be the best addition to such a haircut. An important point is to avoid volume in the cheekbones. It is also better to choose the length just above or below the cheekbone line.

Short haircuts can also be the right choice if they are voluminous and the length still covers the ears. This styling can also be combed back or rolled in waves like Hollywood stars.

"Pixie", but not too short with profiled ends - just for lovers of short haircuts. At the level of the temples and ears, it is better to profile the strands for additional volume.

You should avoid laying on a parted part, it is better to choose a side parting option, which will distract attention from a heavy chin. The zigzag parting will also cope with this task.

If a haircut or hairstyle involves opening your ears, you should always leave a few loose strands near them. You can twist them a little with tongs. By themselves, such strands make the image softer and freer, and in addition, roundness in the cheekbones is hidden.

If you like high bunches, you shouldn't give them up. The main thing is to collect them correctly. It is recommended that you first comb the hair at the roots a little, and then collect the bun without smoothing or pulling the hair. The bun itself must also be laid with deliberate negligence, avoiding tightening.

As a result, you will get a delicate image, and thanks to the resulting volume, the shape of the face and head will approach the oval. It is worth noting that such beams, as if collected on the run, have been at the peak of popularity for several seasons.

If there is only a narrow forehead problem, while the chin is not massive, you can also cut a lush straight bangs. It will add volume to the upper part of the head, hide the narrow forehead and, by the way, will make the face visually younger.

For owners of long hair, curls can be recommended. The main thing is that the waves or curls start from the roots. If possible, a lot of volume should be avoided in the cheekbones and chin area. As for the style, it can be both light beach waves, classic curls, and curls in an African or retro style with a side parting.

For thin hair, you can choose graduated haircuts that create volume at the crown. They are suitable for all hair lengths. Coloring the strand in 2-3 close tones allows you to add pomp.

Braids and various weaves also allow you to add volume. The main thing is not to pull your hair too tight. It is recommended to comb the hair a little at the roots, and also release a few strands near the temples.

Owners of a pear-shaped face should style their hair by lifting it from the roots. To do this, stylists recommend drying them with a brushing brush and special tools - stylers.

Women with this type of face can be envied as they can afford the most intricate accessories. The only rule is to wear them at the top of your head. Various headbands, scarves, tiaras, hairpins distract attention from the heavy chin and serve to obtain the visual volume of the crown.

Makeup should also aim to achieve a balance between the “top” and “bottom” of the face. To do this, a lighter tone is superimposed on those parts that need to be increased. First of all, on the forehead. The middle of the chin and the bones under the eyes should be marked in a light tone.

A darker tinted base is applied along the cheekbones, chin and side lines. Careful shading of the base allows you to get a natural effect.

Blush is applied to the area under the cheekbones, they should be shaded diagonally.

Straighter eyebrows will do. The highest point should be located a little further than the pupil of the eye, closer to the tip of the eyebrow. With the help of paint or shadows, they need to be given a suitable shade.

Focus on the eyes allows you to divert attention from the massive chin. It is enough to emphasize their shape with a pencil or shadows, carefully paint over and lengthen the eyelashes. For evening outings, choose shimmery shadows or shadows that have a wet effect. They allow for the feeling of wide-open eyes and in themselves invariably attract attention with sparkle and radiance.

On the lips, it is enough to apply matte lipstick to match the natural shade, or use a transparent gloss.

To increase the volume in the upper part of the head, appropriate headdresses allow. Immediately, we note that thin caps adjacent to the head are taboo for owners of a pear-shaped face.

However, in general, they do not have to limit themselves in choosing a headdress. First of all, you should take a closer look at the hats. It can be either wide-brimmed hats or fedora hats, as well as ranger hats, cowboy hats and others.

Voluminous chunky knit hats with a bent bottom, berets, all variations of fur hats with a long pile, if desired, can also be brought into your wardrobe.

Pin-up scarves tied at the crown of the head, various turbans, tied scarves and scarves from under which strands of hair are knocked out will also be a good option for this type.

In search of inspiration, pear-shaped faces will find it helpful to look to celebrity looks. Among the stars there are many owners of "pears". Among them is Kelly Osbourne.

Not every image of her can be called successful, but you can also learn from mistakes. For example, in this look, despite the presence of volume, the haircut is too short for this type. Because of this, there is no large dissonance between the upper and lower parts of the face, but in general the image looks rough, and the facial features are massive. In addition, black here looks flat, overly gloomy.

The image is completely different if the star makes light curls that add volume to the crown. In addition, an unusual color palette and stretching technique attract attention, distracting from the "problem" areas.

Another stylish option from Kelly Osbourne is a classic square of the right length. Lush straight bangs are responsible for the volume in this haircut. The color catches the eye again.

Another celebrity with this face shape is Jennifer Aniston. Throughout her creative career, you can see that she changed many hairstyles, but always remains true to the graduated strands with thinning. The secret of this consistency is obvious - it allows you to correct the oval of the face.

You rarely see a star with her hair pulled back, but if it does happen, it looks something like this.

Oblique bangs, root volume and deliberate negligence - all this looks not only stylish, but also helps to mask facial imperfections.

Minnie Driver's type is intermediate between "pear" and "trapezium". The star usually appears with curls that hide the volume of the cheekbones, adding it to the crown of the head. In addition, thanks to the curls, the image looks softer, more feminine.
