Determining your face shape involves analyzing the overall contours and features of your face. Common face shapes include oval, round, square, heart, rectangle, diamond, and pear.
Here's a simple way to figure out your face shape:
- Gather your supplies: You'll need a mirror and a flexible measuring tape or ruler.
- Pull your hair back: Ensure your hair is out of the way to avoid any obstruction.
- Measure key points: Use the measuring tape to measure the following:
- Forehead: Measure the widest part of your forehead, just above your eyebrows.
- Cheekbones: Measure the widest part of your cheekbones, just below your eyes.
- Jawline: Measure the widest part of your jawline, just below your ears.
- Face Length: Measure from the top of your hairline to the tip of your chin.
- Compare your measurements:
- Oval: Forehead and jawline are approximately the same width, with cheekbones being slightly wider. The face is longer than it is wide.
- Round: Forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are approximately the same width, with a shorter face length.
- Square: Forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are approximately the same width, with a strong jawline.
- Heart: Forehead is wider than the cheekbones, with a pointed chin.
- Rectangle: Longer face with a forehead, cheekbones, and jawline of similar width.
- Diamond: Cheekbones are the widest point, with a narrow forehead and jawline.
- Pear: Wider jawline than forehead and cheekbones.
