Understanding the
Heart Face Shape
A heart face shape is characterised by a wide forehead and prominent cheekbones that taper to a narrow, often pointed chin. Many people with a heart-shaped face also have a widow's peak — a distinctive V-shaped point in the hairline. The shape tapers from broad at the top to narrow at the bottom, resembling an inverted triangle.
The styling goal is to balance the wider forehead with the narrower chin. This means adding fullness and volume near the jaw, softening the forehead, and choosing glasses that carry weight in the lower part of the frame.

Beard styles for
an Heart Face Shape
For heart faces, focus the beard at the chin to add the width and volume the face is missing in its lower half. A full beard at the chin, a Balbo beard, or a squared goatee all add the lower-face fullness that balances the wider forehead. Avoid heavy sideburns that add width at the widest part of an already-wide upper face.
