Beard styles for a diamond face

Diamond Face

Wide cheekbones with a narrow forehead and a narrow, often pointed chin. The rarest shape, and one facial hair genuinely transforms.

What to aim for

Fill the chin and jaw to balance the cheekbones. Fuller lower-face styles ground the diamond; bare chins exaggerate the point.

A small tuft just below the lower lip, the minimalist's facial hair.

Massive sideburns that claim the cheeks, with chin and moustache shaved clean.
