Face Shape Calculator

Discover your face shape by accurately measuring key dimensions. Understanding your face shape can help you choose the most flattering hairstyles, eyewear, and makeup techniques.

How to Measure Your Face:

Face Length (FL): Measure from the center of your hairline to the bottom of your chin.
Forehead Width (FW): Measure across your forehead at the widest point, usually halfway between your eyebrows and hairline.
Cheekbone Width (CW): Measure across your cheekbones, starting and ending at the most prominent part just below the outer corner of your eyes.
Jawline Width (JW): Measure from the tip of your chin to the point where your jaw angles upwards towards your ear. Multiply this number by two to get the full jawline width.

Use a flexible measuring tape and stand in front of a mirror for accuracy. All measurements should be in centimeters (cm).

Understanding Face Shapes:

Here's a brief overview of common face shapes and their characteristics:

Oval: Face length is about 1.5 times the width. Forehead is slightly wider than the jawline. Cheekbones are the widest part. Considered the "ideal" shape due to its balanced proportions.
Round: Face length and width are similar. Widest at the cheekbones. Soft, curved jawline and chin.
Square: Face length and width are similar. Forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are all similar in width. Strong, angular jawline.
Oblong/Rectangle: Face length is significantly longer than its width. Forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are often similar in width, or the cheekbones might be slightly wider.
Heart: Forehead is the widest part, tapering down to a narrower, often pointed chin. High cheekbones are common.
Diamond: Cheekbones are the widest part of the face. Forehead and jawline are narrower, and the chin is often pointed.
Triangle (Pear): Jawline is the widest part of the face, gradually narrowing towards the forehead.

This calculator provides an approximation based on your measurements. Visual assessment can also play a role in determining your face shape.
