First — how to know if have a round face: If your face is about as wide as it is long, you fall into this category, along with Kirsten Dunst, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Emma Stone. Make the most of your face shape by following their lead and choosing the most flattering cut.
A deep side part + sweeping bangs = a winning combination for this face shape. Kirsten Dunst has been sporting this look since we saw her as a bubbly cheerleader in Bring It On, and it’s been working for her ever since. The long bangs lengthen and thin the face.
If you’ve got a round face, don’t be afraid to pursue the pixie in the footsteps of Ginnifer Goodwin. Her pixie cut is short without being masculine, and her piecey bangs add dimension and definition to her round face. Keep this ‘do soft and simple for a romantic, feminine vibe.
Emma Stone pairs a side part and side-swept bangs with highlights to add structure to her round face. The bangs detract from her prominent forehead, making her eyes the main feature. Ask for highlights that frame your face and sit near the crown of your head, pulling the eye up to meet your own.
