Best Hairstyles For A Long Face

  • Go for bumpy, curly hair styles to make your head much bigger and to add body at the back. You can also go for weaves and wigs with curls or waves.
  • You can go for bob styles with a length not more than your cheekbones. This will also serve the purpose of adding body to the back side of your head and to widen your face. Long bob styles with more body can also be used on a long face.
  • If your forehead is long, go for hair styles that will cover a bit of the forehead so that it appears shorter and balances with the rest of the face.
  • Balance the weight of your hair with the size of your head; if your head is small, do not use weaves with too much body as it might end up looking unproportional.
  • Pony tails clipped high on the head might make a long face appear longer because they expose more of the face without making it appear wider and without adding body to the head. When clipping your hair to the back, you can use large clips that will make your head look bigger or clip the hair on the back instead of the middle of the head.

Short sighted people can use some more white make up around their eyes because their lenses have a diminishing effect on their eyes.
  • White make up tends to go with cool coloured accessories such as silver, white, sky blue and icy colors. You can also wear white make up with grey and black accessories because they are neutral.
  • Darker skinned people can do a mix of white and black eye-shadow with the white being more than black. You can even do a gradient shadow starting with black from your eye-liner and gradually moving to white at your eyelids.
