Face Shapes: The 6 Types and How to Tell Which One You Have
Your face shape is the outline created by your forehead, cheekbones, jaw and face length. Knowing it is the fastest way to choose a haircut, glasses or beard that flatters you. Pick your shape below for a full guide.
Oval Face
How to tell if you have an oval face, why it's considered the most balanced face shape, and the haircuts, glasses and beard styles that suit it best.
Round Face
Signs of a round face shape, plus the haircuts, glasses and beard styles that add height and definition — and the styles to avoid.
Square Face
How to recognize a square face with a strong jawline, and the haircuts, glasses and beards that soften it or make the most of it.
Heart Face
Signs of a heart-shaped face — wide forehead and cheekbones, narrow chin — and the haircuts, glasses and beards that balance it.
Diamond Face
How to recognize a diamond face shape with wide cheekbones and a narrow forehead and jaw, and the styles that balance it.
Oblong Face
Signs of an oblong or long face shape and the haircuts, glasses and beard styles that add width and avoid extra length.
Face shapes are defined by two things: the ratio of your face length to its width, and which part of your face is widest — the forehead, the cheekbones or the jaw. Many people are a combination of two shapes, such as oval/square or round/heart.
Measuring by hand in a mirror is easy to get wrong because of lighting and camera angle. An AI face shape detector measures your facial landmarks directly and classifies your shape, including mixed shapes, from a single selfie.
