Find your Face Shape


It is important to determine your face shape in order to find the perfect hairstyle, eyewear and even blush. So in order to make it easy for you I found out a few simple steps to help you figure that out. All you need is a a tape measure or ruler and something to write on and with.

1. Measure across the top of your cheekbones and record that measurement.
2. Now measure the widest point to the widest point on your jawline and write that down. 
3. Measure across your forehead at the widest point. That usually is like halfway between your eyebrows and hairline. Write that down.
4. Measure from the tip of your hairline to the bottom of your chin and record that. 

Oval Face: You have perfect proportions with length equal to one and half times the width.

Round Face: The face is about as wide as it's length.

Oblong: The length is longer than width. 

Heart: Cheekbones and forehead are wide, while the jawline is narrow.

Square: The face is about equally as wide as it is long. 

Diamond: With narrow forehead and jawline at about equal widths the widest is at the cheekbones.
