Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a round face look slimmer?
Add vertical length and angles: keep hair with height on top and short sides, grow a short beard heavier at the chin, and choose angular glasses. Lowering body fat also reveals more facial structure.
What beard suits a round face?
A short beard that's kept tight on the cheeks and slightly longer at the chin elongates a round face and creates a more defined jawline.
