Best Updos for Your Face Shape

Since that whole “hair plastered to the back of your neck” thing isn’t a trend this year (dangit), why not try updo hairstyles instead? And not just any updo, but one perfectly suited for your face shape. After all, you got a haircut that perfectly flattered your face, why blow all that effort on a ponytail or bun that leaves your round face rounder or your square face squarey-er?
