Pear-shaped face: we select haircuts, makeup and accessories

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

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 gives the face a resemblance to a pear fruit.

A “pear” is also a narrow oval face with a small forehead, which is why the chin, even without being massive in itself, seems to be just 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 - trapezoid. However, this is not entirely true, since the "pear" is characterized by softness and roundness of the lines of the chin, cheeks. "Trapezoid" is always angularity, rather rude facial features.

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

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

When creating a hairstyle, you should avoid smoothed hair in the crown and temples, as well as excessive pomp 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-layer haircuts, in which the main volume falls on the crown and temples.

Excessively short female haircuts that open the lower part of the face, as well as smooth hairstyles like a ponytail or buns, are also not the best option for this type.

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

A win-win option would be different variations of the "square". Shorter strands on the top of the head, as well as a square with an extension 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. The length is also better to choose just above or below the cheekbones.

Short haircuts can also be the right choice if they are voluminous, but the length will still cover the ears. Such styling can also be combed back or curled in waves in the manner of Hollywood stars.

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

Avoid laying on a straight parting, it is better to choose the option of a side parting, which will distract attention from a heavy chin. A parting zigzag will also cope with this task.

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

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

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

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

Owners of long hair can recommend curls. The main thing is that the waves or curls begin from the roots. If possible, avoid large volume in the area of ​​the cheekbones and chin. As for the style, it can be both light beach waves, classic curls, and curls in African or retro style on the parting.

For thin hair, you can choose graduated haircuts that create volume on the crown. They are suitable for any hair length. Add splendor allows coloring the strand in 2-3 close tones.

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 locks near the temples.

Makeup should also be aimed at achieving 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. Mark in a light tone should be the middle of the chin and the bones under the eyes.

Along the cheekbones, a darker toning base is applied to the chin and side lines. A thorough 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.

Straighten eyebrows will fit. The highest point should be a little further than the pupil of the eye, closer to the tip of the eyebrow. Using paint or shadows, they must be given a suitable shade.

Focus on the eyes allows distracting 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 shimmering shadows or shadows that have a wet effect. They allow you to achieve the feeling of wide-open eyes and by themselves invariably attract attention with brilliance and radiance.

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