Begin by selecting a style that suits your face shape: you should be aware that not all mustache-styles should be used on all types of faces and hair-textures. This means that you should actually pay attention to the way your facial-hair grows and notice where it is mostly thick. For instance, there is no need of trying out a fu-Manchu mustache-style incase the hair does not remain thick all the way down to the sides on your mouth. So, in case you want see how a mustache might look on your face, try to edit a your picture in Photoshop by adding some fake mustache styles in order to spot out a style the looks best on you.

The pencil style: this mustache-style looks like it were drawn thinly at the top of the lip with a make-up pencil. if you wish to trim this style, simply follow the upper-lip line with your trimmer while carefully removing the hair that lies between the nose and lip until a thin line is created and this mustache should end at the corner of the upper-lip or a bit beyond. This style is famously sprouted by some common celebrities like R.Kelly, John Waters and many others.
The fu-Manchu style: this is a classic style that features a slim pencil-like mustache that begins at the upper-lip and continues down to the sides of the face until it reaches the bottom of your jaw or beyond. This mustache-style is grown slightly bushier and wider but it has the same basic mustache shape. It’s also referred to as the handle-bar or horseshoe mustache.
The boxcar style: this is fairly simple mustache-style that ends just slightly before you reach the corner of your lips. To trim this style, don’t touch the upper-lip mustache but instead trim a straight line perpendicular to the corner of your lip so that hair can end just before it. In fact, this should like a perfect rectangle but try not to go to short for best results.

Try-out a longer mustache-style: in case you want to try out a long, bushier mustache, then it usually works best with straight hair that is a bit coarse. Thin hair is capable of growing long but it won’t bush-up and it may just end-up hanging over the lips which is quite annoying. But if the right kind of hair for a long-mustache, then consider the following types of longer mustaches:

After, get a mustache-wax and twirl the longer hairs at the lip-corner up into a curl. In fact, this style will make you look like you had just stepped-out of ancient Victorian-novel.
The Walrus style: this mustache-style is for meant outdoor-men, hunters and guys who know how to throw tomahawks. If you really want to grow the walrus mustache-style then do nothing but just shave the cheeks while leaving the mustache alone. In fact, you should not trim your mustache until it drives you and people around you nuts. However, this mustache-style is not meant for beginners because it actually takes a lot of time to achieve and makes someone to look awkward.
The selleck style: this mustache-style was named after a famous TV personality called “Tom Selleck” and it’s also referred to as the “Pornstar“. This style is essentially shaped like a walrus-mustache while pointing down at the lip corners although the Selleck full from the lip to nose but a bit trimmed to avoid hanging over the lips.

Try experimenting with the combo-styles: although it seems cool to place a name on a mustache style, the fact is that growing a mustache is all about being creative in the mirror while using your beard-trimmer. In fact, you can try-out the following mustache style combinations the next time you shave to see which style works best for you.

Goatee style: this is basically a fu-Manchu or handlebar mustache that connects on to the chin. With this style, you just have to shave your cheeks and under the neck and leave the mustache area alone.
Mutton chops style: these mutton chops can be connected directly on to the mustache giving you a vaudevillian or civil-war vibe. This style actually looks awesome on men and will give you a trendy look.
Straight-mustache style: you can also tryout the straight mustache with a deep-set 5 o’clock shadow and soul-patch because this will make you look great.

The mustache ends well-trimmed: your mustache actually requires grooming much often especially along the ends in order to maintain nice looks. In fact, certain mustache styles require more work than others and a combination of washing, waxing, combing, trimming and shaving will be part of this daily grooming process if you wish to maintain a fully grown mustache so that it can live to its expectations.
