Face shapes are determined by bone structure—primarily the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Common shapes include oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and oblong, identified by which part is widest and the jaw's angularity. Determining your shape helps select flattering hairstyles, glasses, and makeup techniques

Face shapes are determined by bone structure—primarily the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Common shapes include oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and oblong, identified by which part is widest and the jaw's angularity. Determining your shape helps select flattering hairstyles, glasses, and makeup techniquesKey Face Shapes Explained
Oval: Length is slightly longer than width, with a gently curved jawline and balanced proportions.
Round: Full cheeks, soft jawline, with width and length roughly equal.
Square: Strong, angular jawline with a broad forehead; width and length are similar.
Heart: Broad forehead and high cheekbones tapering to a narrow, pointed chin.
Diamond: Narrow forehead and chin, with high, dramatic cheekbones.
Oblong (Rectangle): Longer than it is wide, often with a straight cheek line.How to Determine Your Face Shape
Measure Features: Use a tape measure to compare your Face Length, Forehead Width, Cheekbone Width, and Jawline Width.
Analyze Widest Point: If forehead is widest, it's often heart or oval; if cheekbones are widest, it's round or diamond; if jaw is widest, it's likely a triangle/square.
Check Jawline: A pointed chin suggests heart/diamond, while a square jaw indicates square.
Trace Method: Pull hair back and use a lipstick or whiteboard marker to trace your reflection on a mirror. Face Shape and Styling
Heart: Best with side-swept bangs or long, layered hair to balance the narrow chin.
Square: Soften angles with layers or textured styles; avoid sharp, straight hair.
Round: Choose chin-length or long bobs to create the illusion of length.
Oval: Highly versatile, accommodating most hairstyles and glasses.
