Make sure you’ve got the best tools for the job, then check out these beard styles for round face to find the perfect one for your face.
Beard Styles for Round Faces
Van Dyke Beard
You can thank a painter named Sir Anthony van Dyck (who lived over 300 years ago) for this look. The “Van Dyke” is basically a full goatee with a detached mustache.
Short Boxed Beard
For this style, your beard should wrap around your face. Use a beard trimmer like Gillette All Purpose Styler to create a solid beard line under your jaw and keep the sides of your face trimmed thin and neat. That’s the Short Boxed Beard.
Balbo Beard
Think Short Boxed Beard but without sideburns. A Balbo Beard has a floating moustache with facial hair that’s more full on the chin. An angled shave along the cheekbones completes the look.
Anchor Beard
Combine a mustache with some facial hair along the jawline, and you’ve got an Anchor Beard. Define the shape of the beard before you shave the rest of your face clean.
Ducktail Beard
A pointed “ducktail” beard looks like it sounds. This style is shaped in a way that looks like a ducktail from your chin: long and pointy, with short sides, and a neat mustache. You’ll need thick beard hair to pull off this style.
French Beard
This style may have started in France, but it’s popular everywhere; probably because it’s low maintenance and looks great. Start growing a full beard, then use your razor to shave your cheeks and jawline clean. Only leave facial hair around your mouth.
