Shaving facial hair is a widely accepted and long-standing grooming habit. It also illustrates how a man’s image and style may be enhanced and even established with a moustache that emphasizes his facial features. Facial shape is a factor that must be taken into account while choosing the ideal moustache style, just as with haircuts.

Understanding Facial Shapes

Identifying their facial shape is the first step for anyone who wishes to grow and style a moustache. Oval, square, round, rectangle, heart, diamond, and square forms are commonly used to categorize facial structures. Here’s how to determine yours:

• Oval: Usually, the forehead is wider than the jawline, and the face length is more than the breadth of the cheekbones. The jaw has a rounded angle.
• Square: All measurements are relatively similar. The jaw is angled sharply.
• Round: Similar to a square but with softer, rounder angles. Although the cheekbone breadth and facial length are similar, the face feels shorter.
• Rectangle/Oblong: The largest measurement is the face length. The forehead, cheeks, and jawline are all similar in size.
• Heart: The forehead is larger than the jawline and cheeks. The chin is angled.
• Diamond: The largest measurement is face length. The jawline is the smallest, followed by the forehead and cheekbones.

Moustache Styles for All Face Shapes

If you understand your face shape, you will be better able to select the moustache style that fits you.

• Oval: This adaptable face shape suits most moustache styles. You can pull off practically anything, be it a straightforward chevron or a traditional handlebar.
• Square: Go for more curved moustache designs to lessen the severity of your jawline. A horseshoe moustache can balance your features by emphasizing the moustache rather than the jawline, while a handlebar moustache can add some roundness.
• Round: An angular moustache, such as a pencil or chevron moustache, will assist in elongating your face and give it an oval appearance.
• Rectangle/Oblong: Choose bushier designs like the walrus or a thick chevron that can cover a little more of the upper lip to make your face appear shorter and more balanced.
• Heart: You can add weight to the lower half of your face by getting a thicker handlebar or an imperial-style moustache to balance the narrower chin.
• Diamond: Widening the jawline can be achieved with a medium-thick beard. The traditional chevron is a wise choice since it maintains neatness while adding significant presence below the nose.

Small Facial Features

Steer clear of big, bushy styles if your nose is small since they will draw attention to it even more. Rather, opt for a shorter cut, similar to the sophisticated, understated, and fashionable pencil moustache.

Likewise, a large, bushy moustache should not overwhelm a small mouth. Once more, the pencil moustache will enlarge your mouth without covering up too much of your face. Your mouth will appear slightly larger if you grow your moustache slightly past the corners.

The pencil moustache grows quickly and looks good on both narrow and broad features, but it requires daily care to keep it that way.

Bigger Facial Features

Think about growing a thicker, more prominent moustache, like a chevron moustache, if your nose is really noticeable. Without taking over the face, it can provide a lot of mass to balance off prominent features like the lips, nose, chin, eyes, and ears.

A traditional moustache, the chevron is still well-liked by beginners. It is mainly connected to the 1970s and 80s because of celebrities like Freddie Mercury. If you develop a moustache without considering any other type, this is probably the look you will end up with.

The easily maintained style curves gently downward at the ends of your mouth, completely covering the region between your nostrils and upper lip. A chevron should be avoided by people with small features.

Tips for Grooming and Maintaining Your Moustache

A good moustache needs to be maintained, regardless of style. It’s important to regularly cut, wash, and condition. Make a wise investment in high-quality grooming supplies, such as a decent trimmer, comb, and moustache wax. Keep your moustache clean at all times, and if you’re looking for a change, think about getting professional aid to shape it.
