Face shape · The 7 shapes

Oblong face shape

Clearly longer than it is wide, with forehead, cheekbones and jaw in line.

A long, elegant face. Horizontal lines and width balance it.

Frames: Large frames, square or aviator, with a low bridge and some depth.
Hair: A fringe and volume at the sides; better without much volume on top.
Near the face: Stud earrings or small hoops; high collars and boat necklines.

Frames you can explore

Shadow: Shadow along the hairline and at the sides of the chin: it visually shortens the face.

Light: Light in the centre of the forehead, under the eyes, on the bridge of the nose and on the chin.

Always blend: contouring is light and shadow, never lines. Choose a matte shade one or two tones deeper than your skin.

A first, indicative look: a CARO consultation confirms it in person, with real clothes and frames.
