Determining your face shape can be helpful when choosing hairstyles, makeup, and eyewear that will suit you best. There are several ways to determine your face shape, including:
-
Looking in the mirror: Look at your jawline. If it seems gently curved or on the rounder side, you likely have an oval or round face shape. If it’s sharp and angular or pointy, you likely belong to the square face shape, rectangle face shape, or heart face shape family.
-
Taking measurements: Look in the mirror and decide what part of your face is the widest. If you have a wide forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, you likely have a square face shape. If your face is longer than it is wide, you likely have an oblong or rectangular face shape. If your forehead is wider than your jawline, you likely have a heart-shaped face. If your jawline is wider than your forehead, you likely have a triangle-shaped face.
-
Using a face shape quiz: There are several online quizzes that can help you determine your face shape. These quizzes typically ask you to answer a series of questions and provide a photo of yourself.
Overall, there are seven basic face shapes: oval, round, square, rectangle, heart, triangle, and diamond. However, most peoples faces are a combination of at least two face shapes that are similar. Once you have determined your face shape, you can try out frame styles that are known to compliment that specific shape.
