Rather than spending time in front of the mirror and criticizing what you see day after day, focus instead on the features you have that you’re proud of. Once you’ve decided which parts of your face you like the most, help yourself to never forget just how beautiful you are by choosing the right women’s hairstyle to flaunt it! Here are three facial features and how to effortlessly place emphasis on them.

Expressive Eyes

Eyes are the windows to our soul, so they say. If you want to people to pay more attention to your eyes, you should consider getting fringes or bangs. Straight-cut bangs that fall to your brow line are most effective at drawing attention to your eyes. For a more subtle effect, go for softer side-swept bangs.

High Cheekbones

Many turn to contouring to create the illusion of high cheekbones, but all you have to do is get a haircut to emphasize yours. Ladies with long hair can get layers that hit right by the cheekbones. Short hair is an option too — opt for a chin-length bob with angular bangs, or go even shorter by getting a pixie cut with long layers at the front and tapered sides. These cuts will surely bring out those beautiful cheekbones.

Luscious Lips

Have you got big beautiful lips and are not afraid to flaunt it? Go for styles that really opens up your face, so there’s really no hair to hide behind! You can try a graduated bob with the tips pointing to the lips in a subtle manner, with layers that cascade just on the sides of your face, creating a framing effect.

Aside from the individual parts of your face, also consider your face shape when choosing a style. While hair isn’t the only way to draw attention to your best features, it’s a great place to start. After all, great hair is the best accessory you can have! But the most important thing is you choose a hairstyle you are comfortable and confident with.
