How to achieve this look

Let your facial hair grow out for 1-2 weeks until you have good hair growth. Use your trimmer to draw a hairline halfway between your jaw and cheekbones, section off the hair that grows towards your cheekbones, and shave your neck to create a defined line under your chin. Pro tip: try to keep mustache hair and hair around the chin as long as the sides.

Beards for round faces

If you have a rounder face, consider opting for a beard style that elongates your face for a slimming effect.

Recommended beard style: The Balbo

This type of beard offers good coverage, but by having a shave down your cheekbones and leaving the hair fuller on your chin gives it a cleaner, more sophisticated look. Looks particularly nice thanks to the additional mustache on the handlebars.
