How to Measure Your Face Shape
The face shape calculator uses the relationships between your four measurements to classify your face shape. You'll need a soft measuring tape (or a ruler and a mirror) and about 2 minutes.
Getting Accurate Measurements
Use a soft cloth tape measure and measure in a mirror for best accuracy. Keep the tape flat against your skin — don't pull tight. For forehead width: place the tape at the highest point of your eyebrows and measure across to the same point on the other side. For cheekbones: feel for the bone just below and outside the outer corner of each eye and measure across. Jaw: measure across your jaw from the widest visible point (not the jaw angle/corner).
Style Tips by Face Shape
Oval faces are the most versatile — nearly all hairstyles and frame shapes work. Round faces benefit from angular frames and hairstyles with height. Square faces are complemented by rounded frames and layered hairstyles that soften angles. Heart-shaped faces suit styles that balance the narrower jaw — wider at the chin level.

How do I measure my face shape?
You need 4 measurements: (1) Forehead width — across the widest point of your forehead, about 1 inch above eyebrows. (2) Cheekbone width — across the widest point of your cheekbones, below outer corners of eyes. (3) Jaw width — across the widest point of your jaw, about 1 inch up from the bottom of the face. (4) Face length — from the center of your hairline to the bottom of your chin.
What are the different face shapes?
The main face shapes are: Oval (face length > cheek width, balanced proportions), Round (similar width and length, soft jaw), Square (strong jaw, wide forehead, similar width and length), Heart (wide forehead, narrow jaw, pointy chin), Diamond (narrow forehead and jaw, wide cheekbones), and Oblong/Rectangle (longer face, parallel sides).
Why does face shape matter?
Face shape guides hairstyle choices, eyeglass frame selection, makeup contouring, jewelry choices, and hat styles. The goal is usually to balance proportions — angular frames suit round faces; rounded frames suit square faces; most styles work on oval faces.
