17 Pixie Cuts That Flatter Long Face Shapes

Bangs that hit at the browline, along with piecey layers, can help shrink the visible surface area of the face, making it look more proportioned.

Go for an eye-catching color like blonde and add a side part to keep the focus on the boldness of the cut.

Forehead-grazing micro bangs can help make an oval-shaped face look more round.

Instead of slicking hair all the way back and away from the face, leave a few stragglers dangling in the front as accent pieces.

Create a natural contrast against deeper skin with a polar opposite-toned short cut.

If dense, long bangs or uber short ones aren’t really your style, settle somewhere in the middle with not too long or too short side-swept bangs.

Adding a bit more density in the form of thick, piecey fringe balances an elongated jawline.

Take the cut cues from the style above, but try it on golden blonde hair for even more impact.

Keep the temple pieces longer (ear length) and tapered to frame the face. Bangs should rest at the brows with this look to prevent the overall shape from looking disproportionate.

A cropped cut and a vibrant color like Teyana Taylor’s cherry red go hand in hand.

Opt for a fully flipped-over long bang, anchored by a deep side part to keep the eyes moving side to side instead of up and down.

Andrea Riseborough went for a stark contrast with her pixie choosing dark hair against her porcelain skin.

Halsey’s pixie takes a slightly more square shape around the sides, which effortlessly levels a more oval face shape.

A heavier, bowl cut pixie tops off a longer face nicely. Keep the style more updated with longer sideburns.

Wrenn Schmidt’s pixie is as classic as they come, and the evenly cropped all-around shape is a neutral style that works on any face shape.

Proudly show off all the perfect and imperfect angles of your dome with a platinum-dyed, near buzz cut.
