How do I identify my face shape?

We categorize face shapes into six types: oval, round, diamond, heart, square, and triangle.

Here's the easiest way to identify your face shape: Take a picture of yourself from the front without covering your face.

If your cheekbones and jawline aren't very pronounced, you likely have an oval or round face shape.

If your cheekbones and jawline are noticeable, draw a horizontal line across your cheekbones and another line across your jawline.

• If your cheekbones and jawline have the same width, you have a square face shape.
• If your cheekbones are wider than your jawline, you have a heart or diamond face shape.
• If your cheekbones are narrower than your jawline, you have a triangle face shape.

 

What defines the vibe of each face shape?

Oval faces have well-balanced cheekbones and jawlines, with neither being overly pronounced. The inherent image of this face shape isn't particularly strong, allowing glasses to play a significant role in altering the perceived image.

Round faces don't emphasize cheekbones or jawlines. In contrast to oval faces, they have a bit more facial fullness, making the facial contours less prominent. Round faces, much like oval faces, generally complement various styles of glasses. Yet, they convey a slightly more cute and charming impression compared to oval faces.

Square faces are similar to heart-shaped faces as they boast prominent cheekbones and a well-defined jawline. In this case, when there's minimal facial fat, the area beneath the cheekbones may appear slightly tapered. Square faces, due to their visible contours, inherently exude a strong and neutral charm.

Heart-shaped faces have both broad cheekbones and a defined jawline, with the cheekbones being wider and more prominent than the jawline. Typically, heart-shaped faces are round and short, giving off a cute and lovable vibe.

Diamond-shaped faces lack a prominent jawline and emphasize the cheekbones. When the cheekbones are accentuated, the face appears more voluminous. Diamond-shaped faces tend to exude a somewhat glamorous and sharp image.

Triangle faces are characterized by a prominent jawline with no protruding cheekbones. They give off a distinctive impression, with the jawline being relatively emphasized, creating a bold overall appearance.
