Thank you for stopping me from cutting my bangs once again.

[@aurianaxx9885]

same, i was just thinking about it, even after i promised myself i won't ever cut them again

[@LS-kg6my]

I’d love to see this same analysis but for faces with a weak chin

[@SweetnL0]

Yes! Or little jawline definition.

[@Leticia_b_ceratti]

Me too.

[@emanuellasueto3473]

Me too

[@stylemejenn]

Sounds like quite a number of people are interested in this topic!! I'll definitely add it to the list :)

[@LS-kg6my]

@@stylemejenn thank you! Really enjoying your content

[@berry.x9388]

3:00 the point made here is totally true! When I cut bangs i thought they would look good on me because of my long forehead, but it drew so much attention to my jaw and chin! Without the bangs my big forehead and strong jaw balance each other and my face feels more balanced overall. Another good video, Jenn!

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you! I'm glad you agree :)

[@shirin9452]

Style Me Jenn NEVER misses! This channel deserves to blow up lol. Literally the BEST advice

[@stylemejenn]

Aw thank you so much!! I'm so grateful ♥

[@elle-be3lz]

Your exception about Liv Tyler is a great example of exceptions.Sometimes pixies just emphasize how boxy , masculine and and stark some can look, despite their balance.

[@stylemejenn]

I'm glad you agree! ❤

[@janaefehr1275]

This video is mind-blowing! I've finally realized why dark coloured v-necks look so terrible on me. I'm the exact opposite of Liv Tyler, being that I have a wider/baby face and narrow shoulders. I could never figure out why I always felt that I looked awful in v-necks, but of course, it makes perfect sense that wearing a dark coloured v-neck would make my shoulders narrower, which would therefore highlight the wideness in my cheeks. I always knew that I've felt unattractive in v-necks, but I never understood why. Thank you so much!!!❤

[@stylemejenn]

I'm glad you found the video to be helpful! ❤

[@xXNekou]

I have rather long chin (sort of like Reese Wetherspoon), and I noticed that my face looks more balanced and more delicate if I just put my hair up in a big messy bun, it creates more length and brings attention more up.

[@stylemejenn]

I have a long chin as well and wearing the hair up definitely helps with bringing the emphasis upwards! :)

[@elizabethmacpherson0989]

I love your videos so much for their creative and helpful analysis. But I also realized today how diverse celebrities are from one another. I always filed all celebs in my head into one category of “generically good looking.” But consciously realizing how different and unique their characteristics are makes me appreciate more the unique beauty we each have.

[@stylemejenn]

Stay Unique, Stay Gorgeous love ❤

[@amyl3729]

Wooo! I needed this!

[@ApfersPL]

that makes sense, my chin is long and narrow but my forehead is quite big and wide so i prefer going out with a fringe... but sometimes i felt like it wasn't good for my proportions and wondered if showing the forehead is actually better in a way. looking back at my photos, i've always really liked those with side-swept bangs a lot so i'm glad it should work good.

[@elle-be3lz]

You are amazing in your knowledgeable, interesting and nuanced analyses! And very generous in your personalized approach.

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad you're enjoying my content :)

[@michaelhalbritter8692]

Thank you so much for this❤

[@_PURAVIDA]

You are so smart and informative. Nothing like any of those so called beauty influencers. Pls keep it up, I can see what you’re putting out there. PS I think I’m right in between with the chin -blonde look. 😊

[@Dragonfly434]

You are one of my favorite KZbinrs ever ❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us

I WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS THANK YOU

[@stylemejenn]

Haha you are welcome!! It took a while for me but I finally got to it 🙌

[@crocolagerfelden6142]

Brilliant. Thank you! You are amazing!

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you liked the video :)

[@lesleyd111]

I've been searching for this information for ages - how to flatter a prominent chin. Thank you for creating this video! It's extremely helpful!

[@stylemejenn]

Glad you found it helpful! 😄

[@minniethriver]

My chin area is slightly more prominent and I'd look good with more volume on the top of my head (ergo: short hair would suit me better). But I like the simplicity of maintaining long hair and I noticed wearing a hairband gives me the volume I need for a more balanced look. Or just wearing it in an up-do, but the hairband works even better and it fits my personality. Sometimes the solutions can be so easy when we recognize how our personal features are balanced. Thank you for providing these useful insights!

[@stylemejenn]

I’m glad you liked the video! ❤️

[@DaniShugs]

This is the most educational beauty channel EVER.

[@stylemejenn]

You are so sweet ❤️ Thank you!

[@acampos8422]

First!!! You are the best Jenn!

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you for always being so supportive ♥♥♥♥♥

[@KathBorup]

Please do a video on eyebrow shapes! I'd love to hear your take! I just discovered I look better with eyebrows that are closer together and it has been a game changer.

[@stylemejenn]

I actually have a 2-part series on eyebrows so you should check it out! :)

[@saladdressing8471]

thank you!

[@giovannatavera]

You are a mind reader. Thank you ❤

[@stylemejenn]

🤗 yayy you're welcome!

[@1chillychang]

3:00 hit me like a truck as i’m sitting here contemplating to cut my bangs to make my face shorter only to find out it’s worse for my long lower third 😭

[@yeahnah4303]

i love this channel

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying my content :)

[@ZurditaDinamita]

Notes for myself 1:38 - Short haircut 2:55 - Exposing Forehead (or using bangs like 4:19)

[@e.l.2734]

No way, this should have way more views!! It will soon, for sure.

[@stylemejenn]

Aw thank you! Glad you liked the video :)

[@mel818]

Thank you for this video!!! I love it, amazing as always!! Seriously I've learned so much from you

[@stylemejenn]

Hey Mel! I'm glad your finding my content helpful and it's really nice to hear that the holistic approach has helped you appreciate your features more! So grateful ♥ As for your question - yes! A lighter hair color will definitely reduce the contrast level between your skin and hair and make your jawline appear less prominent. However, I have seen some cases where proportionally the lighter hair makes sense in reducing the contrast level, but the overall coloring / seasonal color analysis wise the higher contrast level works better. So you should also take into consideration your overall coloring and whether the reduced contrast level with a lighter hair color would work for your season as well. Hope that helps! I'll see what I can come up with for hair colors for different skin tones :)

[@lauragoreni3020]

You are so knowledgeable

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you for the sweet compliment :)

[@msprettybunny1]

Can you do a video for hairstyles for people who have the top and bottom thirds equal?

[@doulikeweirdppl8819]

Thank you sssooooooo mucchhhhh❤

[@stylemejenn]

You're very welcome ❤❤❤

[@pattycake101]

Hey great video! I wish you spoke about those with small foreheads with prominent lower thirds though!! Exposing the (small) forehead sometimes isn’t ideal. How would you navigate this?

[@stylemejenn]

I think it really depends on the level of the prominence and also other factors like length of the face, neck, etc. There's a few things you can do - you could either expose the forehead and also add a lot of hair volume around your hairline to lengthen the forehead more, or you could use curtain bangs / side-swept bangs like I explained in the video to cover the hairline itself but still expose parts of the forehead so the emphasis to your lower third is not as severe! Hope that helps :)

[@KathBorup]

I really need to do a consultation with you when I have the funds! I have a big forehead, prominent chin and long nose 😂 I'm long all over 😂. Long face tip: When I apply blush I try to do it in a horizontal shape.

[@stylemejenn]

Agreed! Long faces can really benefit from creating horizontal breaks with blush and contour :)

[@maegn]

Wow! It’s like you’re talking right to me! THANKS! Now I know why my blunt bangs look so “off!”

[@stylemejenn]

I’m glad you found the video relatable!! ❤️

[@cathygray141]

Please do video hair style for long top third with round face

[@viola4029]

Very insightful video as always! I was wondering : what about when your lower third appears longer due to a long philtrum ?

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you - I'm glad you liked the video! As for a long philtrum, similar theory applies - to draw the emphasis away from the lower third a short haircut like a pixie cut would be a great choice to bring the emphasis up, but again, it would also depend on the rest of your features as well :) Some great examples of celebs with long philtrum that look great with pixies are: Halle Berry, Jamie Lee Curtis, Charlize Theron (although I personally think she's a goddess and can really wear anything including a shaved head), and Carrie Mulligan :)

[@SHines-qk9qj]

Thanks for this! I'm wanting to cut my elbow -length hair into a bob or lob rather than wearing it up or braided all the time - I was thinking of bangs too but now I think not!. Can you speak to that in-between bob/lob length? This seems to address only pixie vs long hair. I have the longer lower third, and a low hairline to crown. How do we choose a middle length?

[@maddelke7]

Demi Moore looks so freakin gorgeous and makes me want to try that updo

[@gracemaple1060]

I have a slightly shorter lower third and the tip for exposing your forehead completely works for me too. When my forehead is more covered, it actually brings attention to my middle third, making it appear like its the longest. Plus the part about long hair was exactly right! I always either wear dark tops or put my hair in front for exactly that reason; my face is small and slim so it prevents my shoulders from looking wide in comparison. I love your videos! Not only do they make more sense than other advice on this topic but there is also always something helpful even in videos where the title doesn't seem to directly apply to me.

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you for the sweet compliment! I'm glad you're finding the content relatable and helpful :)

[@ACAC-ll5jh]

Interesting...i have an oval face with pointy chin! Think i need some lighter pieces to add width

[@fr9261]

Would chin length hair be a bad choice for wide and long chin?

[@zarinaadi04]

Other good examples would be Rumer Willis and Khloe Kardashian. I have always found Rumer's lower part to be quite striking and even though she doesnt look bad with long hair i think she looks her best with the wavy bob. Same goes with Khloe, she looked so good with the bob she had and even that pixie wig she wore, the long hair seems to drag her face and make it look elongated

[@stylemejenn]

Thank you for the great examples!

[@robinarman7300]

How do you think earrings are at play here? I have chubby cheeks and I swear chunky hoops add more width, while thin wire hoops (and basically any slender shaped earrings) "frame" the lower third area better

[@stylemejenn]

I do think that wide or chunky earrings add more width to the lower third!

[@eboory]

Or you can just wear your hair back. Like with a claw clip or scrunchie. A few pieces of the hair from the front. I noticed that i look much better like that

[@stylemejenn]

Agreed! If cutting your hair short seems too daunting or risky, wearing your hair up is a less permanent alternative :)

[@JeremyVagabond]

What about parting and prominent lower third? Side part or middle part is a better option for long hair?

[@stylemejenn]

Generally speaking a side part tends to help with bringing more emphasis to the eyes, but it would really depend on the individual's face :)

[@justauser4992]

Plssss can u make a video on long middle face prominence hairstyle and makeup plssllslsal

[@stylemejenn]

I actually have a video on hair & makeup tips for prominent middle third already, so you should check it out! :)

[@olihhayes]

2:15

[@haleydropthemike]

By "short" hairstyle, do you just mean pixie cuts, or could a shoulder length work as well?

[@stylemejenn]

In this context I mean a pixie cut because I’m referring to styles that take the hair away from the lower face entirely ☺️

[@haleydropthemike]

Thanks! @@stylemejenn

[@honeyyork1337]

The lady in the blue off the shoulder top/dress doesn’t look like Liv Tyler.

[@aiva729]

Liv Tyler is literally the most beautiful woman ever in my opinion

[@stylemejenn]

She is gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@baldgalruru]

so interesting! please do one for short middle third and short faces in general 🥹

[@stylemejenn]

I have a video on high cranial top coming in a couple of weeks where I touch on this a little bit, so stay tuned :)
