Heart-shaped faces
A wide forehead narrowing to a pointed chin. 3 face guides on EveryFaceShape so far.
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and cheekbones and narrows to a slim or pointed chin, often with a widow's peak. Opticians suggest frames that balance the broad brow, and barbers a beard that adds width low on the face. Some guides call the shape an inverted triangle.
Frames
Light frames, rimless styles, and frames wider at the bottom than at the top keep attention lower on the face. Aviators, with their teardrop shape, are often suggested. Heavy browline frames can make the brow look wider still, so many opticians avoid them for heart shapes, though personal taste decides.
Beards and makeup
A full beard or a chin curtain adds weight at the jaw and chin. A goatee can also widen a narrow chin. Makeup artists may place blush below the cheekbones and add a little highlight at the chin. Fringes and side-parted hair can soften a broad forehead.
