How to Apply Blush on Square Faces

BellaSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:00:48 -0800

Having a square face can be hard - you've got such gorgeous bone structure, but almost none of the application techniques commonly taught play up your features while softening any hard angles you might have. Square girls like Jessica Simpson have stylists on hand to help them, and you deserve assistance, too. So for my how-to, read on.

Eyebrows can be tricky, especially if you have a square face shape, because there's so much conflicting advice (as the beautifully square Rosario Dawson can certainly tell you). So I've put together some sound, easy-to-follow hints that'll have you brow perfect when you read more

Beautiful Bangs for Your Face Shape, Part II: Square

BellaSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 11:00:25 -0700

Welcome back to the second installment of Beautiful Bangs for Your Face Shape. Yesterday we talked about bangs for round faces and today we are looking at the best bang styles for those of you with square faces.

This rare face shape belongs to some seriously sexy A-list stunners such as Katie Holmes, Kate Walsh, Jessica Simpson, Sandra Bullock, Paris Hilton, Mandy Moore, Demi Moore, Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Things to keep in mind if you have a square face is that layered bangs that fall to or below your eyebrows are very flattering, especially if they are swept off to the side. Fringey and wispy bangs look great, too, since they will soften the edges of your face shape.

Cuts to avoid are blunt bangs or airy bangs that come to your jawline (a common look for a chin-length bob), as these types of bangs will only cause your face to look sharp-and not in the good way.

Haircuts To Flatter Your Face Shape: Part IV, Square Faces

BellaSugar — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 15:22:49 -0700

You may covet your favorite celeb's hairstyle, but if the 'do doesn't fit your face shape, you're likely to be disappointed. Hence, Fabsugar's four-part series on the haircuts that best flatter your face. Welcome back to our fourth and final installment: square faces. To read last week's advice on oblong and oval faces, click here.

If you have a square-shaped face, you share your facial structure with Demi Moore, Mandy Moore, Sandra Bullock, and Rosario Dawson. Having a square face means that you have a wide hairline and an equally wide, angular jaw. The goal with a square face is to soften your hairline with cuts that incorporate bangs, layers, and your hair's natural texture.

It also means that you have lots of flexibility in the choosing which length you want to wear your hair. Almost any length is flattering. For example, you could try a long, sleek style with layers that start at the jawline and continue downward, like Demi's above. Or, you could just as easily go for a short and spiky cut with choppy ends.

Another option is to try wearing your hair in loose layery waves.

Keep in mind that single-length bobs and straight-across bangs aren't great looks for you. They will just make your face look more square. Or, you can always throw in the towel altogether and opt for Demi's G.I. Jane buzzcut look.

Over the next few days I'll give you tips so that you're well-prepared for your next visit to Frames R Us. To kick this series off, let's start with face shape. To find out more, just keep reading.

How-To: Work With Your Widow's Peak

BellaSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:00:36 -0700

A widow's peak is a dominantly inherited v-shape that dips down along the hairline. Perhaps one of my best friend's most enduring features is her widow's peak, which lends even more character to her friendly disposition. Do you know anyone with this distinctively cool feature?

Female celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Alyson Hannigan, Fran Drescher, and Milla Jovovich all have widow's peaks, along with Keanu Reeves, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Colin Farrell on the men's front. Perhaps you have this genetic trait, too. If so, here are some tips and techniques for making it work. Just read more.

Let it be: Your widow's peak makes you uniquely you, so why hide it? When choosing a hairstyle, focus on your overall face shape instead, whether it's heart, square, oval, or round.
The true heart: A true heart-shaped face will have a wider forehead, pointier chin, and a widow's peak. In this particular case, choose styles that give volume around the jawline, avoiding cuts that provide fullness around the temples. Also, steer clear of blunt bangs, which can look too severe.
Curly girly: Notice how Marilyn's widow's peak blends in with her curl? Add a few swooping rounded curls in the mix to provide a soft effect.
Hair removal: If you absolutely must create a straighter hairline, avoid shaving, which can leave an obvious stubbly line. Instead, consider tweezing, but don't go overboard.
Do the splits: Your widow's peak might act like a cowlick, causing unwanted splitting along your hairline. To coerce it to behave, start with damp hair and focus the air flow from your blow-dryer down toward the peak, tautly pulling hair over and around it to blend.
Banged up: Side parts and soft, swooping bangs are perfect ways to work with your widow's peak. Also, fun, spiky undercut bangs blend nicely with a descending v hairline, providing a stylish face-framing effect.

Which Lipstick Shade Do You Prefer on Emily Deschanel?

BellaSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:00:46 -0700

With those icy bluish-green eyes and distinctive square face shape, Emily Deschanel is truly stunning. In fact, Très thinks she's a dead ringer for a young Brooke Shields. Do you see the resemblance? Even though Emily's coloring leans more towards the cooler side, she still manages to rock a warmer shade, as pictured here wearing an apricot-toned lipstick at an event in LA. Most recently, she was spotted at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, where she wore soft pink and cool red lipsticks. Whether it's warm or cool, which shade do you think is the most flattering on the actress?

Beautiful Bangs For Your Face Shape, Part I: Round

BellaSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:00:12 -0700

Welcome to my series on bangs for your face shape. In the past, I've covered blush colors for your skin tone, moisturizers for your skin type and eye shadows to enhance your eye color. Now with celebrities like Kate Moss and Carmen Electra making bangs look sexier than ever, I thought some information about which bang styles compliment your face shape might be helpful.

The first part of the series is about round faces. Celebs such as Cameron, Carmen, Christina, Kirsten and Kate are just a few famous femmes with round faces. (That's a lot of K sounds-I wonder if the shape of your face is correlated to the sound of your name!)

If you have a round face, you'll first want to start off with a haircut that flatters your face shape and then move onto the "fringe benefits" later.

What you're aiming for is long, side-swept bangs or wispy fringes. Both help take attention away from the sides of your face, creating an arch which will help elongate your face. Stay away from super-choppy bangs or short layers that add volume to the sides.

If you have a square, heart or oval shaped face, stay tuned for more beautiful bangs for your face shape later this week!

Which Hairstyle Do You Like Best on Zoe McLellan?

BellaSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:00:11 -0700

Yesterday at the TCAs, actress Zoe McLellan arrived with a spiky version of her cropped hairstyle. I never even knew that she had long hair until I saw this 2004 photograph, but I really like the way it looks. With her square face shape though, it seems that she can get away with just about any hair length she likes. Which of these looks do you like best on this Dirty Sexy Money star?
