A round face

When you have a round face beard, avoid the type of long beard at the cheekbones which gives more volume on the sides of your face, because the goal is to lengthen it from the bottom. For a beard style for a round face, also avoid wearing a moustache so as not to highlight the roundness.

A square face

If you have a square face with a large volume, the ideal is that you have a short beard on the sides and well-stocked at the chin level in order to soften the features of the angles. To soften this too masculine shape, you can adopt the royal beard, the goatee, the goatee or even the goatee. The mustache must be discreet and well-trimmed, but it is also possible to adopt a fuller mustache to embellish the too square shape. But considering the shape of the face, you should avoid covering your cheeks with long hairs.

An elongated face

If you have an elongated face, the type of beard that suits you would be a beard that is shorter at the bottom and longer at the sides. For a solid structure of your face, wear a stamp beard, a Gunslinger beard and mustache, a collar beard or a chops beard. Sideburns are excellent for balancing the shape of your face, do not hesitate to lengthen them to the jawline and shape your facial hair with your reusable razor from the Caliquo brand. However, do not try the beard too long at the level of your chin.

An oval face

If you have an oval face, you can adopt any beard style, but you need to know how to rebalance the lower part of your face. You can choose the chevron mustache, the horseshoe mustache, the 3-day beard or the original mustache. Use your French-made Caliquo razor to draw the contours well. However, for the oval face beard Do not go for a long beard so as not to lengthen your face even more. Also avoid the goatee which will lengthen the shape of your face. The oval face beard is best if you want to choose the style of your choice and allows you to change whenever you want.
