Are you having trouble deciding which haircut or makeup style suits you best? One crucial factor to consider is your face shape. Understanding your face shape can help you make informed decisions about which hairstyles, makeup techniques, and accessories will flatter your features and highlight your best attributes.



There are many face shapes, but these are the main ones:

  1. Round;

  2. Oval;

  3. Square;

  4. Rectangular;

  5. Heart;

  6. Dimond.


Here's a guide to help you determine your face shape and find the perfect hairstyle and makeup for you:


  • Step 1: Determine Your Forehead Width


First, measure the width of your forehead by placing a tape measure just above your eyebrows and measuring across the widest part of your forehead.


  • Step 2: Measure Your Cheekbone Width


Next, measure the width of your cheekbones by placing a tape measure across the widest part of your face, just below your eyes.


  • Step 3: Measure Your Jawline Width


Measure the width of your jawline by placing a tape measure at the end of your jawline and measuring up to the point where your jawline meets your ears.


  • Step 4: Determine Your Face Length


Measure the length of your face by placing a tape measure at the center of your hairline and measuring down to the tip of your chin.



Now that you have your measurements, it's time to determine your face shape.


1. Round Face Shape


If your face is round, your cheekbones and face length measurements will be similar, and your forehead and jawline measurements will be relatively smaller. A round face shape is characterized by a soft, circular shape with full cheeks and a rounded chin. Hairstyles that add height to the top of the head, such as high ponytails or top knots, can help elongate a round face shape. Long, layered hairstyles with side-swept bangs can also create the illusion of length.


2. Oval Face Shape


An oval face shape is longer than it is wide, with a jawline that is slightly narrower than the forehead and cheekbones. If you have an oval face shape, you have the most versatile face shape, as almost any hairstyle and makeup look can flatter your features. Long, blunt hairstyles and center parts can help elongate an oval face shape, while side-swept bangs can soften the forehead.


3. Square Face Shape


If your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are all roughly the same width, you have a square face shape. A square face shape is characterized by a strong, angular jawline and a broad forehead. Hairstyles that soften the jawline, such as long, layered hairstyles and side-swept bangs, can help balance a square face shape. Soft, rounded makeup looks can also soften the angles of a square face shape.


4. Heart Face Shape


If your forehead is wider than your cheekbones and jawline, you have a heart-shaped face. A heart-shaped face is characterized by a broad forehead and a pointed chin. Hairstyles that add volume to the sides of the face, such as chin-length bobs or side-swept bangs, can help balance a heart-shaped face. Soft, rounded makeup looks can also help soften the angles of a heart-shaped face.


5. Diamond Face Shape


If your cheekbones are the widest part of your face, with a narrower forehead and jawline, you have a diamond face shape. A diamond face shape is characterized by high cheekbones and a pointed chin. Hairstyles that add width to the forehead, such as wispy bangs or textured pixie cuts, can help balance a diamond face shape. Soft, rounded makeup looks can also help soften the angles of a diamond face shape.



In conclusion, determining your face shape can help you find the perfect hairstyle and makeup to flatter your features and highlight your best attributes. By following the steps above, you can easily determine your face shape
