Understanding Your Face Shape

Understanding your face shape can help you choose the most flattering hairstyles, eyewear, and makeup techniques. While everyone's face is unique, most can be categorized into a few common shapes based on specific features and proportions.

How Face Shapes Are Determined

Face shapes are primarily determined by the proportions of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, as well as the overall length and width of your face. Key measurements include:

  • Forehead Width: The distance across your forehead at its widest point.
  • Cheekbone Width: The distance across your face from the most prominent part of one cheekbone to the other.
  • Jawline Width: The distance across your jawline, usually measured from the widest points.
  • Face Length: The distance from the center of your hairline to the bottom of your chin.

Common Face Shapes

Oval: Considered the ideal face shape, an oval face is longer than it is wide, with a gently rounded jawline and forehead. The forehead is slightly wider than the chin, and the cheekbones are the widest part of the face.

Round: A round face is characterized by its equal length and width, with soft, curved lines. The widest part of the face is at the cheeks, and the jawline is rounded with no sharp angles.

Square: Square faces have a strong, angular jawline and a broad forehead. The width of the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are roughly equal, giving the face a more defined, geometric appearance.

Heart: A heart-shaped face features a wider forehead that tapers down to a narrower, often pointed, chin. Cheekbones are usually prominent, and the jawline is narrower than the forehead.

Long/Oblong: Similar to an oval face but longer, an oblong face is characterized by its length being significantly greater than its width. The forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are typically of similar width.

Diamond: Diamond faces have the widest point at the cheekbones, with a narrower forehead and a pointed chin. The hairline is often narrower than the cheekbones, and the jawline is also narrow.
