In general, women with a very long face, it is desirable to cover the forehead with hair in any hairstyle. Bangs can be made of different lengths, the main thing is not shorter than the line of eyebrows. The shape of the bangs can also be any - from the classic straight to asymmetric, torn.
Vertical hairstyles with straight hair will not fit the elongated face, they will increase the length even more visually. It is better to make curls, twisted strands. Perfect hairstyles with a perm, the effects of "disorder" and disheveled hair. At the level of the ears, additional volume should be added to the hair.

For lovers of extravagant hairstyles, we can recommend a short-haired nape in combination with an elongated bang, reaching almost to the level of the nose, possibly bevelled to one side.
Accessories and decorations for the elongated face
- Earrings. Long narrow earrings unfavorably emphasize the flaws of the face. Preference should be given to short and wide earrings. The shape of the earrings can be any: round, square, rings, but they should not be longer than the level of the chin.
- Glasses. Large wide rims will help make the long face wider. Small glasses will look ridiculous and even more emphasized the length of the face. Women with a long face should not wear rimless glasses or nondescript narrow glasses. On the contrary, wide bright glasses will make your face more harmonious. Square or round thick frames with wide arms, possibly decorated with patterns or pebbles will visually widen the face. You can safely experiment with both form and color, selecting the shape of glasses that is suitable to the face.
Long Face Makeup
The correct make-up visually expands the face, makes it more rounded and reduces dyne. The focus should be on the shape of the eyebrows, as well as the tone of the face and blush.
Makeup artists give such advice to women with a long face:
- Eyebrows should not stand out from the face, they should not be very wide. Ideal shape of the eyebrows in the form of almost flat, not rounded lines. Arched eyebrows visually lengthen the face. Eyebrows should not be too thin, it is desirable to make them thicker at the base and slightly narrowed to the end of the eyebrows, they should look as natural as possible.
- Blush should be applied from cheeks to the temple line to visually expand the face. They should not look like a clear line, you need to slightly shade them. It is advisable to use the blusher of light natural tones, since the dark ones narrow the face. Ideal pink, peach color.
- The upper part of the forehead can be shaded with a powder of a darker tone or the base darker than the main one. If a woman has a narrow and long chin, then it should be shaded in the same way, visually “shortening” the face.
- Horizontal arrows applied along the upper eyelid and slightly extending beyond it will help to visually enlarge the face.
- Makeup accent should be done on the eyes or lips to distract attention from the face as a whole. For example, you can emphasize your eyes by making long, fluffy eyelashes with dramatic shadows, or lips, by circling them with clear contours and adding volume with bright lipstick and lip gloss.
