How to grow a good-looking beard

1. What kind of boys are suitable for growing beards? Look at temperament type

Facial shape and facial features can be put aside for the first time. The first factor to consider is temperament.

Beard is a sign of maturity, and growing a beard will inevitably make you look older. If you are taking the sunny boy route, then you might as well shave your beard cleanly to make your style look more unified.

(Lin Zhiying, who has always been known for his baby face and agelessness, becomes a bit weird when he grows a beard.)

Chow Yun-fat, who also has a short round face, has a more stable and mature temperament. Having a beard looks very harmonious and adds a touch of boss aura.

In addition, the proportion of domestic boys wearing beards is not high, and beards are also suitable to emphasize personality. For example, the yuppie literary style or hip-hop style transformed by Chen Xiao above, but it needs to be matched with good hairstyle and clothing.

If you are relatively low-key and don’t pursue an obvious style, then you might as well shave your beard clean and keep it fresh and fresh.

If you really want to try growing a beard, the following four temperament types of boys will be more suitable. Let’s take a look in detail.

① Mature and Stable

This type of men are inherently more mature in terms of temperament (software) and facial features (hardware).

Hardware conditions can be that the face shape and center are longer, or the bones are obvious, and the eyes are pointed and long (not the youthful round eyes), which will look more mature:

(Take Hu Bing, Che Shengyuan and Wu Xiubo as examples.)

And the software condition of temperament is even more rare. Although age increases maturity, it is not necessarily directly proportional to age. For example, among the two people below, who do you think is younger?

In fact, "Little Boss" Yang Shuo is one year younger than Peng Yuyan, but his temperament is more "uncle-like". This type of guy can "pretend to be young" and look like a big boy, but he can't compare with a young boy. It is better to use a beard to continue to emphasize the mature temperament, which can make girls shine:

And Peng Yuyan, who has always given people the impression of a sunny boy, some of the beard styles he tried were not so successful, but concealed him. The advantages of his facial features are not as good as his daily appearance without beard.

② Tough temperament

This type of man has a tougher temperament and has obvious bones, such as a square mandible, prominent cheekbones, and obvious nasal bones. Growing a beard just strengthens this masculinity and majesty and becomes a personal characteristic:

(Zhang Hanyu often wears a beard, which matches his tough guy look. When there is no beard on the left side, the look is less A unique temperament. )

The tough guy’s facial features may not be very refined. A beard can also help you divert attention from your facial features to your overall temperament.

For example, just looking at Liao Fan’s face shape and facial features, there are actually shortcomings:

But after growing a beard, the exquisite beard shape is more eye-catching than the facial features, right? Did you only pay attention to his tough temperament?

③ Trendy male hip-hop style

For this type of boys, a beard is even more of an accessory, like a hat, sunglasses, tattoos, etc. Let the overall image not be too polite or "well-behaved", and let the beard add just the right amount of ruffianism.

Shawn Yue without a beard looks like a naughty boy. Later, I grew a beard, which gave me a sense of rebelliousness, and I became more comfortable in fashionable styles:

There are also some hip-hop style boys who can look cooler with beards. Like Hot Dog and Zhang Chenyue are both beard lovers:

④ Lazy literary style

This type of temperament is rare and suitable for long hair/long bangs to create a decadent but not decadent temperament , a bit decadent in grunge style, but more elegant. At this time, it is very suitable to match a beard to emphasize the feeling of freedom and leisure.

(Odagiri made these two looks, and the left side feels like there is something lacking. A clean shaven beard emphasizes neatness, which does not match the long hair that emphasizes leisurely.)

Long hair comparison If it is difficult to control, you can try the long bangs + beard look:

(Zhang Zhen, Du Chun and Bai Yu demonstrated this style, which is also very popular.) Depend on social status

Beard It can bring a sense of maturity or rebellion, so social identity is also a factor that needs to be considered.

If you are a newbie in the workplace, it is best not to grow a beard and keep it fresh, so as not to look pretentious.

But if you are a senior executive in the workplace and want to add stability and aura to your appearance, you may also consider growing a beard to give you a more dignified and trustworthy look. Being able to grow a good-looking beard is also a sign of status.

In some professions where qualifications are more important to outsiders, you can also consider using a beard to increase your maturity and prevent yourself from appearing more immature than you actually are.

2. How to use beard shape to adjust the face shape?

When you are sure that you are suitable for growing a beard, congratulations. After hairstyle and sunglasses, you have another magical tool to modify your face.

Now everyone basically knows what face shape they have, right? (If you haven’t figured it out yet, you can review the first article of this account). Beards mainly work on the lower half of the face and can modify the face shape horizontally and vertically. Horizontal modifications

Mainly target the jaw that is too wide (such as pear-shaped face, developed masseter muscles), or the chin has a long point (which may occur in long, heart-shaped, or diamond-shaped faces).

Let’s first talk about the type of wide jaw. Growing a beard is like shading your cheeks, drawing boundaries and narrowing your face, making you look slimmer all of a sudden.

For boys with asymmetrical jaws, it is also a good way to modify the angle of the jaw, as long as the beard shape remains symmetrical.

However, beards tend to look messy, so it is best to keep them short and leave only a short stubble. Don’t let the beard spread to the middle of the face. The dividing line is not obvious. Not only will it look dirty, but the face-slimming effect will also be compromised:

( In contrast, Chen Zhanpeng’s beard is well-groomed. You can refer to it. (For a moment.)

If you have a long and pointed face, it is easy for you to look lackluster. You can grow a little horizontal beard to make your entire face wider and make your chin look less pointed. Vertical modification

Beards will also fill in the gaps at the philtrum and chin, affecting the length of the face vertically.

If the face is long, the mustache and chin can be left wider, and visually cut horizontally, the face will not look so long. It must be short, as a goatee will elongate the face even more.

But if you have a short face, don’t grow your beard too wide and too high, and avoid horizontal cuts. However, the most elongated face is not growing a beard, so that the face area remains consistent.
