The Different Face Shapes. Where Do You Belong? by adebriana(f): 1:09pm On Dec 13, 2016
All face shapes are beautiful but it's important to know yours. Knowing your face shape is important in choosing the right hairstyle and makeup. However, most people can't seem to place their face shape into a particular category, as they may have features characteristic of more than one face shape. The different face shapes are:
square
round
oval
heart
oblong
rectangle
pear
triangle
diamond.
Case 1: Your face length and width are approximately same.
First things first, let’s analyze the length and width of your face. The reason for that is that people whose face length and width are approximately equal will usually fall into square or round face shape category.
To determine whether your face is square or round you need to look at two things:
your jaw
your hairline
If your jaw is nicely rounded your face shape is round and your hairline doesn’t really matter. Catherine Zeta Jones has round face shape.
If your jawline is more on a square side, i.e. there is more or less obvious angle to your jawline, and your hairline is quite wide, you are a square eg Angelina Jolie.
However, if your hairline is somewhat narrow when compared to the width of your jawline, you have a pear shape. Model and actress Doutzen Kroes has a pear shaped face.
Some people may have approximately equal facial length and width and still have a pointed chin which makes the lower part of their faces closer to triangle. If you fall into this rare category you have either:
a heart shape
a diamond shape
The only difference between heart shape and diamond shape is in their hairline. “Hearts” will have a wide hairline, while “diamonds” will have a narrow hairline which makes their upper part look pretty much like their lower part. Kourtney Kardashian has a heart shaped face.
Case 2: Your face is a little longer than its width.
If your face is just a little longer than its width you might be an oval, square, pear, diamond or heart. Once again, we need to look at hairline and jawline to determine where you fall.
If your jaw is nicely rounded and there is no obvious angles, you have an oval facial shape regardless of your hairline.
If your jaw is not pointed and not rounded but more on square side and
you have wide hairline – your face has a square shape
you have narrow hairline – your face has a pear shape.
On the other hand, if your jaw is pointed and looks more like a triangle:
you are a diamond if your hairline is narrow or
you are a heart if your hairline is wide.
Case 3: Your face is really long, much longer than its width.
If your face is much longer than its width you might have oblong, rectangle, pear, triangle or diamond shape.
If your jawline is rounded and has no obvious angles you have an oblong shape regardless your hairline.
If you have a pointed chin and your jawline is more triangle-like and your hairline is wide, you have a triangle facial shape.
If you have a pointed chin as mentioned above but your hairline is narrow, once again you are a diamond .
If your jawline is more on a square side you are either rectangle or pear . Rectangle facial shape is characterized by wide hair line, while pear is more about narrow hairline.
