How to Find Your Face Shape — 4 Simple Steps
Takes less than 2 minutes. All you need is a mirror and your hands.
01
Pull Hair Back
Pull all hair away from your face and look straight into the mirror. No hair should be covering your face outline.
02
Measure Forehead Width
Place your finger across your forehead at its widest point. Is it wide, narrow, or medium? This is your key reference.
03
Check Your Jawline
Is your jaw angular and defined (square)? Pointed (heart)? Rounded and soft (round)? Or similar width to your forehead (oval)?
04
Compare Face Length vs Width
Roughly equal = oval/round/square. Noticeably longer than wide = oblong. Widest at cheekbones = diamond. Narrow chin = heart.
