Face Shape Calculator

To accurately determine your face shape, follow these measurement guidelines:

• Face Length: Measure from your hairline to the bottom of your chin, keeping the tape straight.
• Face Width: Measure across the widest part of your face, typically across your cheekbones.
• Jaw Width: Measure from one corner of your jaw to the other, across the widest point.
• Forehead Width: Measure across the widest part of your forehead, typically about halfway between your eyebrows and hairline.
• Cheekbone Width: Measure across your cheekbones, from the outer point of one cheekbone to the other.

For best results, use a soft measuring tape and take measurements while looking straight ahead in a mirror.

• Oval: Balanced proportions with a slightly curved jawline. Length is about 1.5 times the width, with cheekbones as the widest point.
• Round: Similar length and width measurements, with soft angles and full cheeks. No sharp angles at the jawline.
• Square: Similar length and width measurements, but with strong, angular features and a prominent jawline.
• Heart: Wider forehead and cheekbones that taper to a narrower, pointed chin. Often features a widow's peak.
• Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline with prominent, wide cheekbones. Length is typically greater than width.
• Rectangle: Long face with similar measurements for forehead, cheeks, and jawline. Length is notably greater than width.
• Triangle: Wider jawline that gradually narrows towards the forehead. Cheekbones are typically narrower than the jaw.
• Oblong: Similar to rectangle but with more curved edges and prominent cheekbones. Length is significantly greater than width.

Your face shape can guide your choices in hairstyles, glasses, makeup, and accessories:

• Oval: Most styles work well. Try side-swept bangs and medium-length cuts.
• Round: Create length with layered cuts and avoid chin-length styles. Use angular frames for glasses.
• Square: Soften angles with side-swept styles and layers. Choose oval or round glasses frames.
• Heart: Balance width with chin-length bobs or long layers. Avoid heavy bangs.
• Diamond: Add width at forehead and jaw with side-swept bangs and chin-length styles.
• Rectangle: Create width with layers and waves. Avoid very long, straight styles.

Each face shape typically exhibits certain characteristics:

• Prominent Cheekbones: Common in diamond and oval shapes
• Strong Jaw: Characteristic of square and triangle shapes
• Soft Angles: Typical in round and oval shapes
• Wide Forehead: Common in heart shapes
• Balanced Proportions: Characteristic of oval shapes
• Angular Features: Common in diamond and square shapes
