What Is an Oblong Face Shape?

Makeup Tips for Oblong Faces
Contour
Contour the forehead and
chin to shorten length
Blush
Focus blush on the apples, not diagonals.

Highlight horizontally to add balance.
Best Eyeglass Shape
Ideal Goal: Contrast the length and add width.
Square Frames
Square structure breaks up the vertical length of your face, making it appear shorter and more balanced.
Wayfarer
They are visually "heavy" frames, which helps anchor a long face so it doesn't look too narrow.
Oversized
Cover more of the cheek area, physically masking the length and acting as a centerpiece.
Best Eyebrow Shape
Ideal Goal: Create a horizontal break.
The Flat (Straight) Brow
Instantly shortens the appearance of the forehead and the overall face.
The Soft Low Arch
Draws the eye upward and elongates the face further, whereas a soft, low arch adds definition without adding vertical height.
The Elongated Tail
Makes the temple area look wider, helping to balance out the narrowness of an oblong face structure
Beard Styles for Oblong Faces
Ideal Goal: Shorten the chin and fill the cheeks.
The Short Boxed Beard
Adding volume to the sides while keeping the bottom short, making the face look more oval than oblong.
The Heavy Stubble
A 10-day stubble breaks up the skin texture without adding length.
The Chevron Moustache
A thick moustache places a strong horizontal line right in the middle of your face.
The Buzz Cut: Is it good for Oblong Faces?
The Risk: A uniform buzz cut (same length all over) has no ability to balance your features. It exposes the full length of the skull and the height of the forehead.
How to make it work: If you want a buzz cut, do a "Burr Cut" where the sides are not faded down to the skin. Keeping a little darkness/length on the sides prevents the head from looking too narrow. However, generally, styles with a fringe (bangs) are much more flattering for this shape.

What haircut is best for an oblong face?
The best haircuts for an oblong face are styles that visually shorten the forehead and add width to the cheekbones to balance the face's vertical length.
For Women:
- Curtain Bangs with Layers: Bangs cut the vertical length of the forehead, while cheekbone-level layers add necessary width.
- Chin-Length Bob: Creates a strong horizontal line that widens the jaw area and creates the illusion of a shorter face.
- Modern Shag: Uses choppy textures and volume at the sides to break up the long, straight silhouette of the face.
For Men:
- Textured Crop (Caesar Cut): Bringing hair forward into a fringe covers the forehead and minimizes facial length.
- Classic Side Part: Draws the eye horizontally and adds asymmetry, preventing the face from looking too narrow.
- Messy Waves: Growing hair to ear-length adds volume to the sides, widening the appearance of the cheekbones.
