Key Facial Features
The cheekbone area carries the strongest width signal, while the upper and lower face taper inward.

Diamond Face Shape Guide
Diamond faces are widest at the cheekbones, with a narrower forehead and narrower jaw.
Prominent cheekbonesNarrower foreheadNarrower jaw
Style goal
Keep the cheekbones visible while adding subtle balance around the forehead and jaw areas.
What to watch for
Avoid concentrating even more width directly at the cheekbone peak.
Eyewear direction
Choose frames that support the diamond face structure without overpowering your features.
- Soften the cheekbone line with oval or cat-eye shapes.
- Add gentle width near the brow.
- Avoid frames that peak at cheekbone height.
Hair direction
Use length, layers, and parting to balance, highlight, frame, and express the diamond face without erasing its shape signal.
- Balance: avoid concentrating width at the cheekbone peak.
- Highlight: let cheekbones read sculptural instead of hidden.
- Frame: add softness near the forehead or jaw to support the taper.
- Express: choose clean, refined, dimensional shapes.
