| OVAL
shaped face
Facial contour: The oval face is about 1.5
times longer than its width.
Ovals are considered the ideal face shape. This shape can wear any
design with flair! Just about any style will suit this balanced shape
though you must take into consideration your facial features. Do you
want to play up your eyes or your nose? Bangs for instance can accent
your eyes, while hair off the forehead can balance your nose in profile
view. Your hair type will also determine the best style. If naturally
curly, wavy or straight, make it part of your style. Remember an
Oval face shape can wear almost any hair style, but there are other considerations, such as eyeglasses,
the shape of your nose, or profile.
