. The length of your hair can affect how long and wide your face looks. Go with a length that balances out the dimensions of your face.  Long, straight hair is an excellent choice for round and square faces, because it adds length and minimizes width. Extremely short cuts with more volume on top, such as a pixie cut, can also lengthen short faces and draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones. Medium to short cuts, such as a chin-length or shoulder-length bob, can make long faces look shorter and add fullness to the face. This is a good choice for oval or oblong faces. The shape of your face is an important factor in determining what kind of bangs look best on you (or whether you should have them at all). Consider the following when deciding on bangs:  Long, feathery bangs that frame the forehead in an A-shape can help soften the look of a square face. Side-swept bangs are flattering on a variety of face shapes, including round, heart-shaped, and oval or oblong. Blunt, long, straight-across bangs can make narrow foreheads appear wider and minimize the length of longer faces. . Glasses can change the appearance of your face quite a bit. If you wear glasses, select frames that complement the shape of your face rather than exaggerating it. For example:  Maintain the balance of an oval face with frames that match the width of your face. If you have a heart-shaped face, minimize the breadth of the upper half of your face with light-colored or rimless frames. You can also choose frames that are wider at the bottom. For long faces, such as oblong or rectangular, choose wide frames with low bridges and decorative temple elements that add width. For faces that are narrower on top, such as triangular faces, pick frames that are wider on top, such as cat-eyes. Choose narrow frames for short, wide face shapes, such as square or oval. Curved frames balance out more angular faces, while angular frames work best with round faces. Soften the look of an angular diamond face shape by choosing oval frames. If you wear makeup, apply it in ways that balance the proportions of your face and bring out your best features. For example:  Add width to an oblong face by putting blush on the apples of the cheeks and blending out toward the temples. Reduce length by adding bronzer to the hairline and jawline. Use bronzer to minimize the width of the forehead on a heart-shaped face. Give structure to a round face by applying bronzer around the entire outer perimeter of the face and under the cheekbones. Highlight the central part of the face (middle of the forehead, bridge of the nose, high point of the cheeks, and chin). Soften square faces by contouring the forehead, temples, and jawline, and adding highlighter to the cheeks. For face shapes with narrower foreheads, such as diamonds and triangles, widening the space between your brows a little can give the illusion of greater width at the top of the face.

Summary: Choose a flattering hair length for your face shape Style your bangs to fit your face. Pick frames that balance out your face shape if you wear glasses Flatter your face shape with complementary makeup.


There are two types of cat harness: the Figure Eight and the H-harness. The main difference between the two is that the Figure Eight features just two loops that meet on top of the cat's shoulders, while the H-harness has a short strap that lies between the shoulder blades with the loops sewn onto either end. There is no right answer to which type of harness is best. Some owners report the Figure Eight harness is harder to wriggle out of. Indeed, the fit of the Figure Eight harness is much more snug, which could account for why it seems more secure on some cats. Harnesses usually come in different sizes, such as small, medium, or large. These sizes are typically based on the measurement around the chest, usually 12, 14, 16, or 18 inches.  Most harnesses have adjustable loops but they are not designed so that a small harness can fit a big cat. Rather, these are designed for ease of comfort and to get the harness to fit snugly. To find your cat's chest size use a tape measure and place it immediately behind the cat's front legs. Measure around their chest in a full circle, taking care that the tape is not twisted. Apply gentle pressure so the tape fits snugly but is not digging into the cat. Take this measurement and add 2 or 3 inches - this figure now gives you the size of harness you should buy. Cat harnesses are available at most pet stores and they come in a variety of colors and materials. If you have a specific model in mind, however, it may be easiest to buy the harness online. Remember that sizes may vary between brands, so a Large in one brand of harness may not fit the same as a Large in another brand.
Summary: Pick a type of cat harness. Figure out what size harness your cat will need. Buy a harness for your cat.
