One of the questions probably we keep asking ourselves or ponder when we see someone, is what is my/their face shape? Well, that cannot be pretty difficult to say sometimes. But otherwise, you might really start seeing shapes that you haven’t seen before! That’s about the human face. Men or women, all of us have a face shape that cannot be defined easily. Some faces give an easy platform for a good eye make-up, while the other kinds need careful consideration for a hair-cut and yet others will be a beautiful space for the creative artist who are into face painting. Human faces, this are varied and each of them sure are beautiful and unique just like the other. Face is sure part of our beauty and it is therefore essential to know about them.

While we won’t be able to tell you what kind is yours, here are some factors that help you determine face shape.

The shape of your jaw, length and width of your face has a huge role to play in understanding the types of face shape.

How to Know My Face Shape?

1. First, start by finding the widest part of your face. This means, for some people, the forehead is widest and for such people, it gets more angled towards the chin. This kind will resemble that of a heart and hence, heart shaped face is the term.

• If you jaw is the widest, then you have a pear shape face.
• For some, it is the cheekbones that are the widest. For such people, their face shape is referred to as diamond shaped.

2. Next off, the jaw shape.

• You will have a pointy face if your chin is angled that allows you to see the jaws meeting at a point. The face then is heart shaped for sure!
• Some people tend to have a round jaw and thus the face shape is a round or oval face.

3. Determining the length of your face is easy. Imagine there is a line passing horizontally below the eyes and from the top of your head vertically, passing through the nose, down to the chin. Now, check if the ratio of horizontal to vertical is one is to one. If it is, then you have a round face. However, if your lower half is longer than the average, then you have a long face.
