Heart-shaped face: Side-swept bangs that flare out at the cheekbones make Reese Witherspoon's (41) wider forehead look narrower. Gently falling curls make the pointed chin look rounder. Styling: Apply mousse to the hair and dry. Create a side parting and curl the lengths into generous waves with a curling iron. To finish: spritz with hairspray.

Elongated face: A high forehead, pointed chin and narrow cheeks make the face look long. A longer, smooth, round-cut fringe - like Liv Tyler's (40) here - is great because it conceals the high forehead and shortens the face. Styling: work with a straightening iron.

Angular face: The best way to achieve this face shape is with long bangs that wrap around the face. This also rounds off the angular features of Felicity Jones (34) and emphasizes the eye area. The side fringes play around the face, making it appear softer. The styling: Tie the hair back and put it up in a bun, part the long bangs in the middle to create a soft A-line and secure with hairspray.

Round face shape: A fringe with a middle or side parting that goes to the corners of the eyes is ideal as it gives the round facial features more length and definition - like Ginnifer Goodwin (39). The very brave can wear "micro-bangs", i.e. forehead fringes that end above the eyebrows. This also adds length, especially if they fall at a slight angle. Style it like this: Apply a leave-in conditioner for shine, then work in a flexible styling cream and lightly comb the hair down to the side. That's it!

Oval face: Women like Jessica Biel (35) are lucky: they can wear almost any type of fringe. The blunt and straight-cut version here conceals the mouth and chin area and conjures up softer features. Styling: The hairstyle needs a lot of care. Smooth the bangs completely and curl the remaining hair.
