BellaSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:00:48 PST

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.

Beautiful Bangs for Your Face Shape, Part II: Square

BellaSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 11:00:25 PDT

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 PDT

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.

For more looks to try,

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.

Katie Henry — Mon, 07 May 2012 10:11:16 PDT

The NY Knicks got some A-list support last night from local fans Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, and their son, Egypt. The trio sat courtside at Madison Square Garden and watched their hometown team come back to defeat the Miami Heat 89-87 in game four of the playoffs. According to Alicia, Egypt is "totally obsessed" with basketball, and the little guy seemed to be having a blast.

The Knicks face off against the Heat again on Wednesday in a make it or break it match, but tonight the Big Apple turns its attention to fashion. The annual Met Gala is only a few hours away, and Alicia's just one of the many famous faces who have graced the Met Balls in the past. It's also a big night for Alicia's former backup singer Jermaine Paul, who is one of the four finalists competing on tonight's live two-hour The Voice finale.

Game of Thrones "The Old Gods and the New": What We're Still Talking About

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 07 May 2012 10:29:13 PDT

There's a lot of plot development on this week's Game of Thrones, but with it comes plenty of blood and guts. People lose their heads, arms, intestines, and in Daenerys's case - some very valuable possessions. We catch up with nearly every Stark this week and spend a little time in Winterfell, but each family member is in some sort of danger.

Though we are forced to look upon Joffrey's yucky little mug, at least he gets served - however petty the punishment. In any case, there are lots of scenes still stuck in my head today, so to chat about them, just keep reading.

Designer Timothy Corrigan Dishes on the Secrets to Comfortable Elegance

Angela Swinderman Elias — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:20:01 PDT

Just a few years ago, designer Timothy Corrigan was reunited with the stately Hancock Park mansion of his childhood. After beating out seven other offers, Timothy had to face the challenge of merging his California casual aesthetic with the majestic elegance of the 5,000-square-foot Georgian Colonial-style estate. By knocking down walls to reduce the number of bedrooms while opening the floor plan, Timothy was able to create a more contemporary flow for the home. Layers of antiques blend effortlessly with modern slipcovered finds while picturesque windows frame beautiful busts and fountains. The result is a sumptuous but comfortable home that honors both the grandeur of the estate and Timothy's lifestyle. We caught up with Timothy for a closer look inside of his stunning home and his tips for achieving a similar look in any space.
