Style with Geometry

Simple measurements, impactful styling

Table of Contents

Measure and Observe

Accurate measurements are the foundation of every styling decision. Use a flexible tape or measurement app to capture widths and lengths.

Combine numbers with visual cues—no single metric defines your shape on its own.

  • Compare face length with cheekbone width to gauge overall proportion.
  • Note whether the forehead, cheekbones, or jaw are widest.
  • Check the chin contour: softly rounded, pointed, or squared.
  • Observe how sharply the jawline transitions into the neck.

Styling Strategies by Shape

Balance shapes by directing volume, lines, and colour to different parts of the face.

Let AI-generated recommendations guide experiments, then fine-tune based on personal preference.

  • Oval: highlight symmetry with softly layered cuts and balanced brows.
  • Round: add vertical lines through crown volume and angled contour placement.
  • Square: soften edges with waves, diffused blush, and rounded eyewear.
  • Heart: widen the lower face using chin-length layers and neutral lip shades.

Finishing Touches & Accessories

Accessories complete the look by reinforcing or rebalancing proportions. Keep a small toolkit of frames, earrings, and necklines that suit your goals.

Pro Tips

  • Pick eyewear that contrasts with face width—slim frames for wider faces, elongated cat-eyes for narrow shapes.
  • Match earring length to the amount of width you want to create or soften.
  • Use necklines to adjust balance: V-necks elongate, boat necks broaden.
  • Rotate textures and colours to draw attention to features you love.
