A diamond face is widest at the cheekbones with a narrower forehead and a tapered chin: the outline is a rhombus. It is the rarest of the seven shapes and reads sculpted in photos. Styling goal: build width at the forehead line and keep the cheek zone unbroken.
The midface is the visual centre of gravity; styles that frame the temples balance the upper and lower thirds against it.
Diamond Face logic: Fill the temples: bangs, width at the forehead line, and frames that echo the cheekbones.
Myth: Diamond faces should hide their cheekbones.
Actually: The cheekbones are the asset — the job is balancing forehead width against them, not covering them.
Myth: Diamond and heart are the same.
Actually: They mirror each other: heart is wide at the forehead tapering down; diamond is wide at the cheekbones with a narrower forehead.
Side-swept or curtain bangs that add width at the temples — the narrowest zone above the cheekbones.
Wider than tall — studs, short drops and button shapes echo the cheekbone line; long thin dangles exaggerate length.
