Halloween Eve is the night of the year when you can be whatever you want to be. Whether you want to be a hero or a villain, no one will judge you because of your choice. But when it comes to choosing a wig, you might step back and think twice before you pick any wig. Because bodies come in different sizes and shapes, so do human faces (there are seven shapes).
So, when you are going to pick your wig, first look for your face features to select the right wig from the Halloween Wig Store that will help you elevate your beauty. However, without knowing your face shape, you can’t choose the right wig for you. So, the first step is determining the face shape.
You will need a few things, including a lip liner or makeup pencil, a mirror or your printed photo, a ruler, and a hairband or tie to tie your hair back if needed. Now, follow this step-by-step guide to measure your face to determine your face shape:
- Tie back your hair with a hair tie or band to keep it away from your face so you can see your face’s edges.
- Now, use the lip liner or makeup pencil to trace a line around the edges of your face on your mirror, or you can use your printed image to trace the line.
Note: If you are unable to trace your face edges on your own, ask a friend or family member for help.
- The next step is to make straight lines with a ruler across the top, middle, and bottom of your traced face shape on a mirror or image. These lines should be drawn where your chin, nose, eyes, and forehead would be. This step will help you measure exactly how long each part of your face is.
Face Shapes And Suitable Halloween Wigs
Now, try to align your face dimensions to the following shape features to check which face shape will suit your measurements and which Halloween wigs will go with your face shape:
Oval
If you have a long and narrow face shape with a smaller jawline than your hairline, and your face is proportionate, you have an oval-shaped face. This face shape can work with almost any hairstyle, length, or haircut. But remember to avoid heavy or long blunt bangs, which can make your face look shorter.
Round
If the length and width of your face are approximately similar and you have fuller cheeks, you are round-shape beauty. That means you look younger than your age and easily pull off more youthful hairstyles, like:
- Longer pixie cuts
- Shags
- Long layered styles
- Short Hair Styles
These hairstyles can add length to your facial lines to make your cheeks look more narrow. However, avoid too short hairstyles.
Square
If you have a strikingly wide jaw and wider hairline, congratulations. You are one of those who have beautiful lines, strong cheekbones, and jawlines that many wish for. Because you have a wider jaw and cheekbones, you can’t add volume to the side of your face, as it can make your face look wider than it is.
However, you can add a little volume everywhere else. The key to this face shape is highlighting what you want to feature the most. Side parts can offset the shape of your face, while bangs or bob cuts can elevate your beautiful jawline. So be versatile and try short Halloween Wigs in Los Angeles.
Diamond
You have a diamond-shaped face if you have a narrow crown, wider cheekbones, and a narrow chin. This beautifully symmetrical shape can pull off every hairstyle. With this face shape, you can quickly soften up or show off your face angles. Choose a short bob Halloween wig if you want your jawline to appear a bit wider. Along with this style, you can select straight, wavy, choppy hairstyles or even medium to long-layered wigs. All these styles will go with your face shape perfectly.
Pear
You have a pear face shape if you have a narrow forehead and widest jawline that may be stringy and square or more round. The key to aligning the wig with this face shape is to avoid highlighting the narrowness of your crown. Instead of accentuating your crown, add width at the top and flatter the wider jawline with the following wig styles:
- Longer layered styles
- Long side-swept bangs
- Blunt bangs
- Flat sleep styles
These styles will give you a perfect look this Halloween.
Heart
If your face features a wider shape at the crown and forehead and has a narrow jawline and pointed chin, you have a heart-shaped face. Choose hairstyles that balance your sharp, pointed chin and narrow jawline with more hair volume. You can opt for bangs, longer lobs, or long wavy or textured wigs to balance your face shape.
Oblong
A face that is more enhanced lengthwise than widthwise and does not quite fit into a circle might be an oblong shape. Oblong faces emerge in length rather than width and are less rounded than oval faces.
A wardrobe containing oblong face types can go naturally with the head hair, which brings out the width of the face. For example, curls can make narrow features more appealing because they provide more surface area to focus on. A bob that is thick around the cheek and jaw area also works well. This face shape can also be very attractive with shoulder-length or long hair with lots of volume at the jawline.
This is the information about face shapes and suitable Halloween wigs according to the shapes. Feel confident to visit the Glendale Halloween Store, one of the best Halloween stores in Burbank, to find the perfect wig that will go with your face shape and complete your Halloween look! Happy Halloween!
