There are certain outfits that are suited only for particular body types like there are facial hair styles that look best on certain face shapes. Someone's physionomy can be changed only by altering their facial hair or haircut. Celebrities are the luckiest when it comes to changing their looks without having to resort to plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments, as they have access to an army of consultants and stylists to assist them in hiding their flaws and create the best looks for their face shapes. However, this doesn't mean that it can be done without the help of professionals as well, but with the aid of a few tips and tricks instead.

Square face

Men with square-shaped face should opt for styles that make their faces look less box-like and more slender. The facial hair style that goes best with this tape of facial traits is a light, but all-over beard, with complimentary haircut, like the one that David Beckham has been seen sporting. This is probably one of the styles easiest to steal, as all you have to do is grow your facial hair out for a few weeks and then use clippers to keep the length quite short. The advantage with this style is that it's very low maintenance and requires only a high-quality razor to keep its shape.

Oblong face

Rectangular or oblong faces are quite slender and angular and a beard is the facial hair style that can balance these features by visually shortening the length of the face, while creating the illusion of a more oval face. One of fashion's leading men, designer Tom Ford is probably one of the men who best illustrate this category. To follow his example, you have to grow a slightly scruffy beard, to hide the features of your face you are not exactly crazy about, and shave it every few days to maintain a cleaner shape.

Round face

For men with round faces, the facial hair styles that will make them look their best are those who make their faces look more masculine and oval-shaped. A highly-stylized chin beard may be just the trick for a modern and perfectly balanced look. Kanye West is one of the representatives of this category and he shows how a round face and delicate facial feature can look hot, by avoiding sideburns and keeping his hair cropped close to his head. To adopt Kanye's specific look, you have to grow your facial hair out while continuing to shave your jaw and neck and if you are not confident enough to get those sharp, fine lines that make his chin beard, it's better to resort to a specialized barber.

Triangular face

Because men with this type of face usually have very pointed chins, a full beard is what they need to make their faces appear more masculine, adding weight along the jawline and the chin. Ryan Gosling is a very good example of how a man with this face type should best style his a facial hair. A shaggier, medium-weight beard to visually bulk up your face, just like in Ryan's case, will do wonders for the features of your face. Moreover, this style doesn't need any professional assistance as it is rather easy to grow and maintain.

Pear/Diamond face

For this type of face, with a very prominent chin, a full beard can minimize and soften the facial traits. Long sideburns will balance the face and also reduce the pointed appearance of the chin, just like Dane Cook sports this style. To get it yourself, you have to let the facial hair grow from anywhere between two weeks and a month without trimming it, and then use scissors or a trimmer to keep the length short and cropped close to the face and then shape it by using a razor.
