How to Find Your Face Shape

Your face shape is determined by the relationship between four measurements: your forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width and face length. The widest point and the ratio of length to width together determine which of the seven face shapes most closely matches yours. Most people find they fall closest to one shape with some characteristics of an adjacent shape.

Knowing your face shape helps you make better decisions about haircuts, glasses frames and makeup contouring. A hairdresser who asks about your face shape before cutting is using exactly this logic. This tool gives you the same starting information so you can walk into any appointment with clarity about what tends to work for your face shape and why.
