Everyday style

Daily grooming and fashion. 91 face guides on EveryFaceShape so far.

Everyday style is what people do with their faces most mornings: shave or trim, shape brows, put on glasses, line the eyes with kajal, dab on thanaka, stick on a bindi. It is where face-shape advice is most used, at the barber, the optician and the beauty parlour, and where fashions change fastest.

Grooming

For many men the day starts with a shave or a beard trim; since the 2010s, beards and stubble have been as common as a clean shave in many cities. Brow threading is a regular visit for many women in South Asia and the Middle East. Neighbourhood barbers, from Istanbul to Indian roadside chairs, remain places of talk and news as much as grooming.

Frames and makeup

Glasses are worn every day by a large share of the world's people, and choosing frames is the most common use of face-shape advice. Everyday makeup varies widely by place: kajal and a bindi in India, thanaka in Myanmar, light skincare-first looks in Seoul, lipstick and mascara in many Western cities. Many people wear none.
