The most harmonious is the oval shape of the face, however, if nature has endowed you with a pear-shaped, you should not be upset. It is better to choose a suitable haircut, makeup and prepare to accept compliments. Just like stars with a similar face shape.
Distinctive features of type
Pear-shaped face is characterized by a small forehead and massive chin on its background. Moreover, the latter usually has a rounded shape, which gives the person a resemblance to a pear fruit.
“Pear” is a narrow oval face with a small forehead, because of which the chin, even without being massive in itself, seems exactly like that.
This type is characterized by massive, pronounced cheekbones. And if you hold straight lines from the temples to the chin, you get a trapezoid. That is why this form has another name - trapezoid. However, this is not entirely true, since the “pear” is characterized by the softness and roundness of the lines of the chin, cheeks. “Trapezium” is always angular, rather coarse facial features.
Physiognomists describe people who have this form of face as open, sociable, friendly.
How to cut your hair?
The most harmonious is the oval shape of the face, so all other types are far from it, stylists recommend to bring it as close as possible to the oval. First of all it helps to do, of course, hair.
When creating a hairstyle, you should avoid smoothed hair in the area of the crown and temples, as well as excessive pomp in the area of the cheekbones and chin. It is wrong to wear hair of the same length, which will seem to fit the face, thereby increasing the similarity with the notorious fruit. Preference should be given to multi-layered haircuts, in which the main volume falls on the area of the crown and temples.
Excessively short female haircuts, opening the lower part of the face, as well as smooth hairstyles such as the horse's tail or bunches are also not the best option for this type.
Optimal for the "pear" can be considered hairstyle "bob" or an elongated version of it. It is important that the entire volume of hair was above the cheekbone line. This can be problematic for owners of thick hair, since the bulk of it is still collected in the zone of cheekbones and chin, which visually weights them. The correct length is just below the cheekbones.
A win-win option will be different variations of the "square". Shorter strands on the top of the head, as well as a square with an elongation and a leg, will help to add volume. Oblique or even thick bangs will be the best addition to such a haircut. The important point is to avoid volume in the cheekbone area. The length is also better to choose just above or below the cheekbone line.
Short haircuts can also be the right choice if they are voluminous, and the length still covers the ears. Such styling can also be combed back or rolled up in waves in the manner of Hollywood stars.
"Pixie", but not too short with profiled tips - the thing for lovers of short haircuts. At the level of the temples and ears, it is better to profile the strands for additional volume.
When choosing a hairstyle it is useful to keep in mind a certain pattern.
Styling tips
It is necessary to avoid laying on the parting, it is better to choose the option of oblique parting, which will distract attention from the heavy chin. Parting zigzag will also cope with this task.
If a haircut or hairstyle involves opening the ears, you should always leave some loose strands hanging around them. You can tweak them a little with forceps. By themselves, these strands make the image softer and freer, and in addition, hiding roundness in the cheekbone.
If you like high bunches, do not give them up. The main thing is to collect them correctly. It is recommended to first comb the hair at the roots a bit, and then collect the tuft without smoothing or pulling the hair. The bun itself must also be laid with deliberate negligence, avoiding delay.
As a result, you will get a gentle image, and thanks to the volume that has formed, the shape of the face and head will approach the oval. It should be noted that such beams, as if collected on the run, have been at the peak of popularity for several seasons.
The oblique fringe allows to balance the lower and upper part of the face. It fits on the side and can be combined with both short haircuts and hairstyles, implying a contraction of hair.
If there is a problem with only a narrow forehead, while the chin is not massive, you can cut off the magnificent straight bangs. It will add the volume of the upper part of the head, hide the narrow forehead and, by the way, allow you to make the face visually younger.
Owners of long hair can recommend curls. The main thing is that the waves or curls begin from the roots. If possible, avoid large volumes in the cheekbones and chin. As for the style, it can be as light beach waves, classic curls, and curls in the African or retrostyle on the side parting.
For fine hair, you can choose a graduated haircut, creating a volume at the crown. They are suitable for any hair length. Add pomp allows staining strand in 2-3 close tones.
Spit and various weaving also allow to add volume. The main thing - do not tighten the hair too tight. It is recommended to comb a little hair at the roots, as well as to release a few strands near the temples.
Hair styling should be applied to owners of pear-shaped faces, lifting them from the roots. To do this, stylists recommend drying them with a brushing brush and special tools - stylers.
Women with this type of face can be envied because they can afford the most sophisticated accessories. The only rule is to wear them at the top of the head. Different rims, shawls, tiaras, hairpins distract attention from the heavy chin and serve to obtain the visual volume of the top part.
Make-up options
Makeup should also be aimed at achieving a balance between the “top” and “bottom” of the face. For this, a lighter tone is superimposed on the parts that need to be magnified. First of all on the forehead. Mark in a light tone should be the middle of the chin and the bones under the eyes.
On the line of the cheekbones, a darker tinting base is applied on the chin and side lines. To get the natural effect allows thorough shading basics.
Blush is applied to the area under the cheekbones, they should be shaded diagonally.
It is important to highlight the eyebrows, while they should be slightly longer than many other types.
Straight eyebrows fit. The highest point should be slightly further than the pupil of the eye, closer to the tip of the eyebrow. With paint or shadows, they need to give a suitable shade.
Distract attention from the massive chin allows focus on the eyes. It is enough to emphasize their shape with pencil or shadows, carefully paint over and lengthen the eyelashes. For evening exits, choose shimmering shadows or shadows that have the effect of wet. They allow you to achieve the sensation of wide-open eyes and by themselves invariably attract attention with brilliance and shine.
On lips it is enough to put matte lipstick in tone with a natural shade, or use a transparent gloss.
Hats
To increase the volume in the upper part of the head allow the appropriate headgear.Immediately, we note that thin caps adjacent to the head are taboo for owners of pears.
However, in general, they may not limit themselves to the choice of headgear. First of all, you should look at the hats. It can be both wide-brimmed hats, and Fedor, as well as ranger, cowboy and others.
Large-sized volumetric hats with a curved bottom, berets, all variations of long-haired fur hats can also be added to your wardrobe if you wish.
Scarves in the spirit of pin-up, tied in the crown part, various turbans, knotted scarves and scarves, from which the strands of hair are knocked out would also be a good option for this type.
