Which of the following should NOT be considered if the client has a diamond face shape?

• A. Adding width at the jawline
• B. Adding width at the forehead
• C. Adding width at the cheekbones
• D. Using a side part and diagonal fringe

Answer: (C)

For a diamond face shape, the goal is to balance proportions by reducing emphasis on the widest area (the cheekbones) and widening the areas that are narrower (the forehead and the jawline). Adding width at the cheekbones would highlight the already prominent feature, making the face look more uneven rather than balanced. Instead, widening the forehead and the jawline helps create an oval illusion and offsets the cheekbone width. A side part with a diagonal fringe works well because diagonal lines break up the horizontal width at the cheeks and soften the cheekbone area. So, the styling move to avoid is increasing width at the cheekbones.
