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
Look for frame weight and brow definition that sharpen the diamond face signal.
- 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 side control, crown volume, and texture to shape the diamond face signal while keeping its strongest feature visible.
- 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.
