How to Determine Your Face Shape

Almost everything you read in a magazine or anywhere else, asks you to determine your face shape in order to determine which hair style looks good on you, which colors, etc. For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out my face shape no matter how hard I tried! I wasn’t sure if it was oval or diamond shaped, so I decided to figure out exactly what each face shape entitled. So here is a little glossary on the different type of face shapes. Hope it helps!

Oval Face Shape

Curvilinear shape. Length is equal to one and a half times width, with forehead and jaw the same width. So think of the oval face shape as an egg.

Round face shape

Circular shaped. Length is approx equal to width.

Oblong face shape

Face is longer than it is wide with a long straight cheek line.

Square face shape

Strong and broad forehead with angular jaw.

Heart face shape

Wide at the forehead and cheekbones, narrow at the jawline.

Diamond face shape

Forehead and jawline are narrow with wide and high cheekbones.

Triangular face shape

Forehead and cheekbones are narrow with a wide jawline.
