1. Square face structure is characterized by and angular and square chin. You can chose to either highlight on your angular jawline or make it look softer. Both looks will go well with your face shape. A scruffy beard or beard with hard lines, longer or triangular goatee will highlight your strong jawline. A beard with soft lines and faded effect with a round sole-patch will make your jawline look softer. A moustache will add character.

5. An oblong or rectangular face structure is long but a bit sharp around the edges and more defined corners as compared to oval. Your beard should be able to make your face appear a bit shorter and angular. This can be achieved with the help of a full grown but trimmed beard. Designer stubbles are for you.

6. Diamond structure is widest at cheekbones and narrower towards the forehead and chin. Your beard will help you cover up your prominent chin with the help of a full grown beard or a French beard. Goatees will also do the trick accompanied by a moustache.
