Beard Styles for Diamond Faces

Updated

A diamond face is widest at the cheekbones, with a narrower forehead and chin. The best beard styles add width around the jaw and soften prominent cheekbones without making the middle of the face look wider. A full beard, short boxed beard, or Balbo can create a stronger lower outline and balance the pointed chin. Keep the cheek line tidy and concentrate fullness along the jawline. This helps the face feel more even from the temples to the chin.
