Heart Face Shape


A heart shaped face is wider through the forehead and cheek bones and more narrow through the chin. The chin can have a slight point or be very pointy. Finding the right hair style to compliment this face shape is key. Reese Witherspoon has the quintessential heart face shape. When her hair is long with longer layers with textured layers framing her face, this adds softness. The side swept bangs draw attention to her eyes. For long hair, this is a great, sexy, and sassy look. It can be worn a little messy and piecey, or it can be worn more smooth and straight. Try a side part; this adds balance to the style. Be careful of styles that are too full at crown, because they will add emphasis to the chin. Be careful of wearing your hair too flat, this is too harsh for a heart shaped face. Highlight the cheekbones, because a heart shaped faces have great cheekbones. Soft layers around the face and wispy bangs minimize the width of the forehead. Chin length bobs are also a great look for this face shape, because they adds height where needed. Try to avoid tappering the nape to closely, as this will only draw attention to the chin.
