 TO FIND OUT WHAT HAIRSTYLE SUITS YOUR FACE SHAPE JUST CLICK HERE!

There are many styles that will suit every face shape and fashion changes constantly.
The following information contains the most important aspects of a good style for your face shape.
A triangular face is broad and square at the jaw line and tapers in towards the forehead.
A pear shaped face has a full wide jawline and tapers toward the forehead.
Your Goal is to look for hair styles that broaden your forehead and minimise width of your jaw.

Characteristics of a Good Style:

  • Keep hair close to the sides of the face and nape of the neck.
  • Cover part of the ears.
  • Create height and width at the temples.
  • Look for hairstyles that are irregular, wispy, or have soft curls that flair out at the sides at the eye line.
  • A fringe that is full, fluffy and high will add width to the forehead and balance the wide jaw line.
  • Styles that are full at the temples.
  • Side parts with long fringes swept to the side.
  • Medium length hair.

Avoid:

  • Hair cut close to the head at the temples.
  • Very short on top (will emphasize a small forehead).
  • Centre parts.

 TO FIND OUT WHAT HAIRSTYLE SUITS YOUR FACE SHAPE JUST CLICK HERE!

Here is a sample of what hair styles look great:

Hairstyles_for_triangular_face_shapes_short_good

The Right Short Hairstyle: This short layered hairstyle is perfect in how it puts hair exactly where it's needed to make our models triangular face shape look balanced and proportional. The heavy top layers allow hair to be rounder and fuller above the ears, while no bangs make the face shape appear longer, bringing attention to the forehead and away from the jaw line.

Hairstyles_for_triangular_face_shapes_short_bad
The Wrong Short Hairstyle: This short hairstyle is the perfect example of what doesn't suit triangular faces. For a start, the bangs are heavy forward falling and in the eyes. This makes the overall shape of the face appear to be shorter and wider. Worse still, due to the sides being layered in short, the jaw area actually appears larger and wider than it really is. The geometry is all wrong as our image shows very well.

Hairstyles_for_triangular_face_shapes_medium_good
The Right Medium Hairstyle: This is a very nice hairstyle shape which suits our models triangular face shape to a tee. The sides fall softly onto and away from the jaw line creating cover in the right places, and the side swept bangs work well to create diagonal direction drawing attention to the eyes. The zig zag part creates some height and builds length into the look, while an all over rounded shape frames the face nicely.

Hairstyles_for_triangular_face_shapes_medium_bad
The Wrong Medium Hairstyle: Too wide, too square! This hairstyle shows exactly what the worst possible shape to suit triangular faces is. The sides only make the jaw area, which is already large naturally, look even wider and bigger. The heavy bangs make the face shape appear even shorter and wider which leads the eye to the sides and width once more! The hairstyle here is following the actual shape of our models face shape instead of compensating and adjusting it.

Hairstyles_for_triangular_face_shapes_long_good
The Right Long Hairstyle: This long soft wavy hairstyle is a nice look and a great example of how to design a hairstyle that will suit triangular face shapes. The soft waves have a naturally soft appearance that falls nicely due to the layering. The middle part also helps to top divide the face into two long narrow portions to create the illusion of length. This shape will work in straight and curly textures.

Hairstyles_for_triangular_face_shapes_long_bad  
The Wrong Long Hairstyle: Another good example of the wrong hairstyle on the wrong face shape! Triangular faces are pear shape and are narrowest at the top forehead region and widest at the jaw line chin area. This hairstyle follows that same shape. To suit, it should instead be the reverse, which means adding hair through the top side areas and not in the bottom. This style kicks out at the bottom and sides and only draws further attention to the jaw region, while the heavy bangs, although to the side, still make the face look shorter and wider.

Eye Wear

  • Oval-shaped frames, and frames that are broad where the face is narrow.
  • Frames that are heavy on the top and oval on the bottom.
  • Your best frames are those that accentuate your eyes and are wide enough to balance your strong jaw line.
  • Avoid low-temple styles.
  • If you like dramatic accessories, try frames in bold colours and heavy frames.
  • Decorative or contrasting temples can also be added to give width to the face.
  • The frames will also have to be sized in proportion to your head.  A woman who has a small head size will need smaller frames for balance and vice versa.
  • A low bridge will shorten a long nose and a high bridge will lengthen a short nose.
  • Update your glasses every two to three years with a current style.
  • Do not wear bifocals with a line.  They make you look out of style and out-of-date.  Ask for no-line progressive lenses.

Make-up

  • A basic rule to be remembered when applying foundation, blush or eye shadow is that light advances and dark recedes.
  • Apply the darker shades to areas that need to be visually diminished and the lighter shades to areas that need to be advanced.
  • Apply the darker foundation at the chin and jaw line.
  • Apply the lighter coloured foundation to the corners of the forehead.
  • Blend the blush in a sideward 'V' to the temples and up over the brow bone, towards the centre of the face.

I highly recommend to book yourself into a Make Up Workshop or Make
Up Lesson with a Professional Make Up Artist as she will teach you what
works for you and what doesn't. What colours are great on you and which
aren't so great. I personally work with Rozlyne Vidal (check out her
website on www.rozlynevidal.com) and her next workshop with a focus on Eye Make Up Application is coming up on the 2nd of June in Engadine. Click here for more details.

Earrings:
Look for earrings that add length to your face and avoid any that are overly wide.  If you have a pear shaped face also avoid very
round earrings.  Avoid earrings that end at the broadest part of your face.

  • Tear drops
  • Ovals
  • Rectangles
  • Drops

Hats: 

  • Look for hats with narrow brims.
  • Asymmetric brims and high crowns are good to bring the attention up towards the eye area.
  • Styles that sit on the back of the head and are wide across the temple area will minimise the jaw line.
  • Select any style that will add width to the forehead e.g.  turbans.
  • Take your body's scale into account when selecting how wide your brim is to be.  Don't get caught looking like a mushroom.
  • The best width is never wider than your shoulders.

The structure of 2nd one is just line and design perfection, stunning!
How comfy does the faux fur one look, love it. 
And a pop of colour is great for winter. That style is not my cup of tea for my pear shape but I love the colour. 
Where have you found your favourite coat this season, would love to hear your 🧥 love story! x

Matched with a blue top I found at @kookai_australia or the matching white tee.
Jeans jacket is from my collection by @decjuba where I took all the buttons off so it looks less military.

This dress is by Review, who have a really lovely collection of dresses out at the moment. A lovely waist definition and A-line which is perfect for the Pears who have more than 15 cm difference between the bust and hips. Try the size that fits the upper body and waist.

Could not resist adding the purple necklace which I found on the Colette website. But you could also leave the neck bare and keep the focus on the waist detail. #dressforyourshape

Any finish line 🏁 in your outfit is either elon Any finish line 🏁 in your outfit is either elongating  or widening. Sleeve length on arm, top length on hips, skirt finish on legs and yes pants finish. 
👖
Elevating the length to 7/8th instead of full length gives a slimmer point to look at which creates the illusion of slimness. There is a point of relieve before the shoe starts. Especially since shoes often have widening details like straps.

I’m not sponsored by any company so I can show I’m not sponsored by any company so I can show  whatever the heck I like based on what I have tried, heard, seen. These tees by French Connection have been many clients’ favourite this spring/summer. Clients in a range of size ranges and shapes. Small bust, big bust. Something with a little difference. If sleeves are your thing, check them out. I reckon they fly out like hot cakes 🍰 as not all colours showing up any more online.

Questions, questions and more questions is what I Questions, questions and more questions is what I ask before putting a single item in the change room for a client. Sleeves, neckline, pockets, zippers, length, pattern, colour… you get the drift. If you want to buy like a stylist then consider what you can see about each item. It might save you on a few occasions purchasing something less than great.

Buying what you love is as simple as taking a minute to ask yourself some questions about all the elements like neckline, pattern, fabric, colour, pattern.

Online style and colour review is part of my every Online style and colour review is part of my every day. @davidlawrenceclothing have a very accessible collection atm and the colour coral is usually a very popular shade. It is a universal colour that suits most colour seasons as it’s not too cool or warm, too light or dark. And what I find, not too pink or red as they are both divisive shades that are not everyone’s cup of tea ☕️. 
Do you love the shade?

PEAR BODY SHAPE Your Pear shape is the body shape PEAR BODY SHAPE
Your Pear shape is the body shape category that the majority of women fall into. You are a Pear when your hips are 7.5cm+ wider than your bust and waist.
For the best looking outfit your focus needs to be on balancing your hip area with the upper body.
Accentuating your slimmer waist with the right size, length and style of top, jacket or dress will give your look the definition it deserves.
And don't forget I have a pretty awesome collection of belts in stock on my Style Angel website.
There are some gorgeous dresses out atm, many suited to a Pear shape. 
Some more blousy styles that is often stocked is one that many Pears do not suit, as soon as the waist is not shown it does not work so well.
Leave me a note on the Pinterest board what your favourite is.
