Face Shape Calculator

How to calculate Face Shape Calculator?

The calculator compares core facial measurements to produce simple ratios that indicate your likely face shape.

Key formula: length_to_width_ratio = face_length / cheekbone_width

Using the Face Shape Calculator calculator: an example

Below are example measurements and the resulting calculations.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. Measurements: forehead = 15 cm, cheekbone = 15 cm, jawline = 12 cm, face length = 20 cm.
2. Compute length-to-width ratio: 20 / 15 = 1.33.
3. Compute other ratios: forehead_to_cheekbone = 15 / 15 = 1.00, jawline_to_cheekbone = 12 / 15 = 0.80.
4. Interpretation: a length-to-width ratio around 1.3 with a narrower jawline commonly suggests an oval face shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the results?

Results depend on precise measurements; small measurement errors can change the ratios. Measure carefully and repeat for consistency.

What units should I use?

Use centimeters for all measurements; mixing units will invalidate the ratios. Convert inches to centimeters before calculating.

Which measurement affects results most?

Face length relative to cheekbone width has the largest impact, since the length-to-width ratio is the primary determinant of face shape.
