Diamond face: makeup, haircuts and hairstyles
Women's beauty is the subject of admiration and numerous disputes about what is the ideal and what can be considered perfection. Times change, beauty standards go with them, but one thing remains unchanged - every woman is beautiful. Those with a diamond-shaped face usually have a sophisticated appearance. If you emphasize the advantages and hide flaws in appearance with the help of haircuts, makeup and jewelry, then the inner confidence in her perfection will allow any girl to be truly irresistible.
Peculiarities
The diamond-shaped face is usually eye-catching and eye-catching. He is characterized by pronounced high cheekbones, a narrow, sharp chin and a forehead that tapers towards the hairline. The narrowest parts of this type of face will be the forehead and chin, and the cheekbones will be the widest and most visible.
The main feature when choosing an image for women with a "diamond" face will be the task of visually balancing the extended cheekbone area and narrowed forehead. These actions will bring the outlines of the face closer to oval, make them more harmonious in appearance. The main helpers in this matter will be makeup and hair.
Styling models
When choosing a hairstyle, it is important to understand the basic principles that need to be followed in this process. Girls with a "diamond" face shape need visual correction of wide cheekbones. The most common option is to hide some of them with separate strands of hair or to make a haircut-ladder, which will cover the upper part of the cheeks with a curtain.
Another good solution would be to visually expand the narrow forehead and chin. This can be done by adding emphasis above or below their level.For example, a fleece on the hair above the ear line or large curls at the chin level.
Parting in most cases is better to choose oblique. A straight parting and symmetrical hairstyle can accentuate the heaviness of the cheekbone line and a narrow forehead.
All voluminous bangs are perfectly combined with this type of face. If the hair is straight and thin, then straight bangs - an arch will look good. Voluminous oblique bangs visually expand the forehead. The main rule here is not to make the bangs too smooth and slick.
It should be remembered that if a woman has a low forehead, then the excess volume on top will flatten it even more, in this case it is better to choose medium hair length and voluminous bangs laid on one side. If the forehead is high, then a short haircut with a long curtain bangs on two sides below the cheekbones will look great.
The length of the hairstyle may vary. Long romantic curls, classic elegant bob, short mischievous haircut - in the shape of a "diamond" with the right approach and skill of the hairdresser, almost any haircut is available.
Long hair
Almost all women love long hair that covers the shoulders and hides the cheeks. This hairstyle looks mysterious and gentle. Possible haircut options for long hair - cascade, ladder. They do a wonderful job of hiding the cheekbones.
Smooth, perfectly slicked back hair can enhance the impression of a disproportionate face. Therefore, it is advisable to lay straight hair on a side or side parting, and raise the curls themselves a little at the back of the head.
If you want to do a parting in the center, then curls will be the best option. They will balance the proportions of the face.
Average length
Everything in this category is traditional, the choice of hairstyles here meets the requirements of the most stylish ladies. A bob or an elongated bob are versatile haircuts that suit almost everyone and have been popular for many years. Their modifications can be easily adapted to suit your requirements with bangs, strand length in front.
It is better to choose a hairstyle of a square with a graduated or asymmetrical shape. The front strands elongated at an angle are straightened when laying. It is best to create volume at the top by styling the hair with warm air and a round brush. However, it is better to avoid excess volume in this part.
It is also possible to experiment with the length of the hair at the back of the head. Short protruding strands will make the look interesting, and the traditional bob - elegant.
An elongated bob is a haircut with a high nape that reveals the neck. In this case, the strands in the front remain long. The emphasis on the neckline, combined with the volume above the cheekbones, goes well with this type of face.
Short
Pixie and garcon are good haircuts in this case.
- Pixie haircut - a modern version that is gaining popularity and is already loved by many. It distracts attention from the cheekbones and focuses on the lips and eyes. Pixies are slightly elongated hair in the front, strands on the temporal part are short. The bangs can be absolutely any.
- Garcon haircut - a shorter version, suitable for brave girls who like to experiment with their appearance. A regular garcon haircut with a diamond-shaped face will not work; it is better to choose elongated options with strands that slightly cover the cheekbones.
When doing hairstyle or styling, you need to remember that the width of the hairstyle should be proportional to the width of the cheekbones, and not the width of the forehead. For short and medium hair, it is best to style with volume at the roots or protruding strands at the back of the head. The bangs or strands near the face are either pulled out or laid in a wave.
Long hair and some medium length haircuts allow for complex hairstyles: tails, buns, braids. All of them look very beautiful, while the owners of the "diamond" face should not forget to release a few strands near the face and lift the root part of the hair.
Makeup
Competent makeup is capable of visually changing the outlines of the face.The main task here is to reduce the cheekbones and increase the chin with the help of makeup, visually bringing the face closer to the oval.
A contouring technique or sculpting will help here. This principle came from the film industry, where it is very important for the face to be embossed and expressive. In this case, the usual decorative cosmetics are used: tonal creams, blush, powders, correctors and highlighters. Their shades are combined and carefully shaded.
Dark shades of powder are applied to the outside of the cheekbones, moving from the center of the cheekbone to the topline of the ear. This visually narrows the cheekbones. Light tones are applied to the forehead and chin area, the lightest shades are applied to the protruding parts in order to visually enlarge them.
Blush should be applied in the midline from the cheekbone to the ear. It is preferable to do without aggressive tones of blush, it is better to choose pastel colors. It is very important to feather all borders and lines.
It is better not to get involved in contouring in everyday life. This method is best reserved for photo shoots, evening outings. During the day, in bright light, abusing the means of sculpting, you risk making a mask out of your face. For daytime makeup, it is best to apply blush and a small amount of tone.
In modern makeup, the principle of one element is still important: we highlight either the lips or the eyes. To highlight the lips, they need to be visually enlarged. For this, a lipstick tone lighter than the natural lip color is well suited. If you want to use a dark tone of lipstick, you can apply a lighter line along the contour with a pencil and shade it, your lips will immediately become more plump.
For the eyes, select the arrows on the upper eyelid, light shadows. Fashionable smoky eyes makeup is best left for the evening.
Any woman knows that it is worth plucking her eyebrows and her face will change beyond recognition. This can both decorate and ruin any appearance, fortunately, not for long. For a diamond-shaped face, eyebrows with a break in the wing of a gull or slightly curved are ideal options. They distract attention from the angular parts of the face.
Round eyebrows will add prettiness to the face, and naivety to the look, remove the visual heaviness in the cheekbones. But straight eyebrows, on the contrary, will shorten and widen the face, so this shape is best avoided.
The eyebrows should not be short, they should draw attention to the eye area and be the flagship of the entire appearance.
Tips for choosing accessories
The right accessories will beautify any face. If you love glasses, hats or jewelry, you should not deny yourself wearing them, because they often give a zest to the image.
- Glasses can become a kind of bridge between the cheekbones and the forehead, making the transition between them smooth and balancing them among themselves. Their width should be wider than the cheekbones, it is better to choose a frame of a straight shape without sharp narrowing or expansion upward. The best shape for the frame will be rectangular or round, approximately the width of the cheekbones. Glasses should be large enough, from cheekbones to eyebrows. Cat-eye models can also go very well with a diamond face shape.
- The headpiece is intended to be a bright detail in the image, which makes the upper part of the head visually larger. Its width should also be greater than that of the cheekbones. It can be a hat with a high crown and wide brim, or a hat in the style of a cowboy. It is better to wear hats, slightly shifting them to the back of the head.
- Jewelry can increase the visual weight of the lower part of the face. Short cone or drop earrings, round beads that do not fit snugly around the neck do this job well.
Helpful hints:
- girls with a diamond-shaped face are not recommended hairstyles that open the décolleté, neck, chin and haircuts that have an emphasis on the level of the cheekbones;
- a haircut without a bang is also undesirable, it will shorten the face and draw attention to its wider part;
- A high hairstyle and sleek styling will squeeze the face from above and make it look even closer to a diamond.
