Choosing to grow your beard is a huge deal. Choosing the correct style is imperative and will greatly impact your look. So, how do you decide on the ideal beard for your face shape?

Whether you’ve tried growing a beard before or this is your first time, it’s always good to have an idea of what you could look like in different styles, especially since not all styles suit all face shapes.

If you’re thinking to go as the trend suggests, then it’s best to follow some specifications, instead of going for what you think looks best on you.

Since beards and mustaches are a matter of taste and a lot of times reflect your personality, they make a huge difference in terms of complimenting your face shape by grabbing attention towards them. And so, you should be careful when choosing which style to acquire.

Let’s look at how you can accomplish the perfect beard.

How to Identify Face Shape for Beard 

There are so many beard styles and it’s important to choose the right one that’s suitable for your face shape. 

First, it’s best to understand your face shape and size before deciding which beard style will best work for your face. There are a few steps you can take to help you decide. You would want to take accurate measurements of your face. You only need a measuring tape and a mirror. Start with measuring your forehead and go down this list: 

Forehead

Hold the measuring tape horizontal across your eyebrows. Make sure the arch points of your brows are where the tape ends. From one arch to the other, is the measurement. 

Jawline

Start measuring from the point of your chin up to the bottom of your ear. Ensure you follow the angled direction of your jaw and simply multiply this measurement times two.  

The Face

Simply measure from the center point of your hairline down to the point of your chin.
