Diamond face shape: what suits you
A diamond face is widest at the cheekbones, with a narrower forehead and a narrow, often pointed chin, and is usually longer than it is wide. Styles that add width at the forehead and jaw, such as side-swept bangs and chin-length layers, balance prominent cheekbones.
