Lengthening the chin with a goatee-style beard helps soften thick, wide jawbones, while still creating a chiselled look. This will also focus the eye on other features of the face, giving those bright blues a chance to shine.

What Beard Suits A Diamond Face?

The diamond face shape is widest at the cheekbones, with a narrow forehead and jawline that are approximately symmetrical in width. Therefore, the goal should always be to keep hair on the chin to offset the cheekbones, so put down the shaver. Ideally, you want to square off a prominent chin, to create the illusion of having more balanced bone structure.

“Be mindful with the length you trim your beard too,” says Mills. “I wouldn’t advise going too long on the chin – anything too pointy tends to accentuate this face shape. You can go wider on the cheeks and wider on the edge of the jawbone, however, so it squares off the bottom half of your face.”

Going lighter on the moustache, meanwhile, will give further emphasis to your cheeks and jawline.
