Determining your face shape can help you choose hairstyles, glasses, and makeup that flatter your features. Here are a few methods you can use:
-
Face Shape Calculator:
- You can use an online face shape calculator to measure your face and determine your shape based on seven categories: oval, round, oblong, square, triangle, diamond, and heart.
- Measure your face using the images provided as a reference. You’ll need four measurements:
- The width of your forehead at its widest point (usually halfway between your hairline and eyebrows).
- The width of your cheeks (distance between the outer corners of your eyes).
- The length of your jawline (from chin to outer edge of the ear).
- The overall length of your face (from hairline to chin).

Manual Assessment:
- Look at three key criteria:
- Forehead, Cheeks, and Jaw: Start with the widest part of your face. If your face is about as long as it is wide, it’s likely round or square. If it’s longer than wide, it may be oblong, oval, or rectangular.
- Jawline: Observe whether your jawline is round, square, or pointy.
- Face Length: To determine if your face is short or long, measure the length from the start of your hairline to the tip of your chin. Compare this measurement to the width of your face, which should be taken at the cheekbones and jawline. A longer face will typically have a greater length compared to its width..
