If your style is only limited to the goatee and no mustache so you need to properly remove your mustache.

Try not to extend your chin hair from both ends of the mouth, which means the size of the goatee should be equal to the size of your mouth. Some people also trim the soul patch and try to bring their goatee more towards the lower part of the chin.

In this method, you first define the outline for your goatee. The outlines on both sides start from a little ahead the point where your lips end on the left and right side OR from the point where your mustache ends on both sides (depends on how long or big you and your mustache).
