The Sweeping Side Fringe
The angelic look of a round face can make one look very sweet and youthful. Ladies with round faces usually don’t have fringes because of an impression that it will make them appear unflatteringly heavy around the cheek area and make their faces appear wider.
The side swept fringes below are will provide an elongated or oval effect to round faces. This style makes any round face look slimmer because it will draw people’s attention to one side of the face.
The Soft Fringe
Wide foreheads, killer cheekbones and tapered jawlines going all the way down to pointed chins. This super feminine face shape needs heavy, full bangs resting along the brows with long, layered side swept strands that reaches towards the ears to draw the attention towards the eyes and away from the chin.
The Blunt Heavy Fringe
The best fringe style for square faces are the full and blunt ones. It can diminish the sharpness of the jawline if the length will settle between the brows and eyes. The chop should also stay put right at the corner of the eyes to draw the attention at the eyes, nose and lips and away from the sides of face. This will provide a vertically elongated effect.
The Round Shape Fringe
Ladies with oval faces get all the fringe fun. They can sport a full fringe, blunt fringe, side swept fringe, mid swept fringe, straight cut – you name it! Oval faces can rock any style of fringe they want because all of them look almost always flattering all the time. If in case the face is a little too oblong, a wide bangs will horizontally widen the eye and cheek areas.
