Which beard style suits my face shape?

Use the beard to balance the face. Round face: a boxed beard, or one kept longer at the chin and tight on the cheeks, adds length. Square face: a slightly rounder, fuller beard softens a strong jaw. Oblong face: keep it fuller on the sides and short at the chin so the face doesn't look longer. Heart or triangle face: more fullness at the jaw balances a wider forehead. Oval: almost anything, from stubble to a full beard. Whatever the style, keep the neckline about a finger above the Adam's apple and the cheek line natural. Fluntr's face reading includes a beard and grooming guide for your shape, and can show a beard on your own selfie first.
